Yes, you heard correctly. Hurray for tax day! Well, for tax return day that is. You worked hard all year and while one might argue that the responsible thing to do is put the refund in savings (egads!), the check is burning a hole in your pocket. And now you need to replace said pocket, and handbag, and shoes and home accessories. Guess, it’s time to shop!
If ever there were ever a store that satisfies the urge to splurge, it is Christian Louboutin. And luckily, both the boutiques (one for women and for men) offer a mega dose of stylish accessories that will have you walking out looking like a million bucks. Or at least walking on a million bucks (or close to it). Fashion meets function with these gold Catchetta gladiator-style sandals. Pair them with skirts or jeans for day and dress them up for night. Or opt for these yellow Door Knock heels that can be interchanged for a neutral to give outfits a punch of color. For the guys, rock the Roller-Boat slip-on loafers with spikes for casual wear or get some fly style for night courtesy of the Chrisolido oxford with fluttering butterfly design.
“I'm just mad about Saffron. Saffron's mad about me.” And we’re just mad for this saffron hued Tie-Handbag from Celine. Like a breath of fresh air, a burst of color is like springtime wardrobe revival.
Somewhere over the rainbow lays this Jonathan Adler glam rock pillow that will spruce up any sofa. All hand sequined, the mix of colors makes it work in most modern rooms.
Once your closet and home have gotten their fashion fix a trip to Brownes Merchants & Trading Co for a decadent Dr. Hauschka manicure and pedicure is a beautiful way to spend that tax “bonus.” Or get a facial fix and maybe some fillers at Miami Center For Plastic Surgery.
You know that saying, “don’t spend it all in one place”? Ignore it, and come shop the District.
