I hate Lynn Louisa because everything is so beautiful and I can’t buy it all. It’s HAZARD if you’re a clothes horse. I never walk out of here thinking meh—usually I leave trying to figure out how I could sell my organs to get a couple hundred dollars quickly to purchase a new dress I didn’t realize would look that good on me.
Read MoreKramerbooks might be better known, but Capitol Hill Books has my heart. They’ve truly ruined me for used book prices elsewhere—can’t beat the prices or selection here. Books are spilling out of every nook and cranny of this place, and it’s the epitome of what I look for in a used book store. I miss this place a lot.
Read MoreAside from walking into Le Labo and immediately feeling the twitch to pull out your phone and Instagram the heck out of this place, you’re also knocked off your feet because it smells so dang good. It’s as perfume store, which means it’s a really fun stop (I’m not kidding. If you haven’t ever killed 30 minutes in a perfume store, you’re not doing it right).
Read MoreSalt & Sundry is the best if you’re a trinket person (you know who you are) or someone that likes to drop an obscene amount of money on candles. Home goods, accessories, baubles, trinkets, paper, candles…it’s got it all, and you’ll probably want to Instagram it. Plus, it’s in Union Market (read: fooooood!)
Read MoreIf you’re hungry and bored, Kramerbooks is the spot. Part cafe, part bookstore, it does a great job of giving you a place to wander and it’s organized to tell you what you should read based on what you’ve liked in the past. Cake, coffee, Kafka? Don’t mind if I do.
Read MoreOk listen, I’m not really one to get my nails done on vacation, so if you’re planning a trip skip this one unless you’re all about pampering yourself. If you’re bougie and have an hour to kill or you’re a local and you haven’t been to this place, GO TO VARNISH LANE. It’s by far one of the prettiest salons I’ve ever seen in my life, you'll be manicured in a leather chair, and they do a fabulous job.
Read MoreFor the gents. Read Wall does custom suits, which is cool and all, but the real winners in here are the ties. They’re just the right amount of patriotic without being overbearing…you have to see it to see what I mean. Guessing this place is an image consultant’s dream when it comes to a young congressman.
Read MoreThe Georgetown Flea Market takes place every Sunday, year-round, and is your stop for the best prices in antiques and is just plain fun to wander.
Read MoreTiny Jewel Box place has a really impressive selection of vintage jewelry (and amazing engagement rings!) Really fun to pop in and think about what your life could be like if you were married to a Senator.
