To celebrate the release of their funky, beach-set spring lookbook, South Moon Under, along with SpicyCandyDC and special guest Nylon editor-at-large Dani Stahl, threw a swinging party last night at their Clarendon location. The up-and-coming DC area fashionable blogger duo, Carlis Sanchez and Katya Ananieva, killed it by styling individual looks for 14-pages of this season’s biggest trends. Major “Get in my wardrobe now!” reactions upon viewing.

Swarms of chicly dressed guests sipped on Honest Tea, munched on Georgetown Cupcakes and took advantage of the storewide 20 percent off discount (score!). From crochet scalloped shorts and pretty baubles to pastel denim and punchy handbags, the store was abuzz with a flurry of shopping.
So many choices. / Photo credit: Lorin Drinkard
The ever-so-cool Dani Stahl, who writes Nylon‘s beloved ‘Factory Girl’ column each month, chatted with customers and bloggers throughout the night, even petting one guest’s dog. According to her knowledge, Nylon is apparently the only magazine her petite pouch won’t drool on.

Feeling festive? Don’t let this foggy day cloud your outlook. Here are a few fashion fiestas that will take your mind off today’s grey skies and move your attention toward spring’s colorful wardrobe.

Madewell at Tysons Corner Center is hosting a private shopping party with fashion blogger Kate Julian of “Then, Life Gave Me Lemons.” Come into the shop on Sunday, March 25, to view the latest spring and summer garments, mix and mingle with friends, and enjoy some sweets compliments of Madewell. There will be lemonade, a vintage candy bar and cupcakes from BitterSweet. Best of all, when you purchase $125 worth of merchandise, you’ll receive 20 percent off.
Spicy Candy is a member of the CAP FABB (Capitol Fashion and Beauty Bloggers) DC-based coalition.
Keep your eye out Monday, April 2, for the release of South Moon Under and SpicyCandy DC’s spring look book. Carlis Sanchez and Katya Ananieva have worked to produce a print and video campaign for South Moon Under’s spring merchandise look book. The launch party will be held on Thursday, April 12, at South Moon Under’s Clarendon store. Also in attendance at the launch party will be Nylon editor and star of E! network’s “Scouted,” Dani Stahl. The event in honor of South Moon Under’s spring look book will, of course, celebrate fashion, but more specifically the growing influence that fashion bloggers have on driving brand awareness.
