Call for Writers
Greetings readers! Some of you may or may not have noticed that the posts have been slow in coming lately here at DC Style Is Real. Has DC Style gotten a little too real lately and precluded the writing of fine and entertaining posts for your reading pleasure? Perhaps. That’s why I want you (YOU!)…
Frugalista: The Why and The How
You’ve seen the recent commercials calling for “Maxxonistas?” I’m not one to take things to the maxx. Especially because it ends with two ‘xx’ and the store lacks a coherent internal organization system (and my left brain craves these kinds of things). Rather, I am a frugalista. I wear the sweater my grandmother made for…
Where Am I?
In a salute to the less photographed (but no less beautiful and surprising) parts of DC, this intrepid on-foot photographer brings you a classic: the Where Am I? post. Inspired by Prince of Petworth in particular, I found myself pausing from time to time as I walk around our fair city, thinking, “Wow, I just like…

Is it a response or a greeting? Do you recognize the man in question? Have you seen this wheatpaste anywhere else around town?
A Tree Grows in Brookland
Known for being the home of Catholic University, Brookland, the long-neglected sleepy neighborhood in Northeast, is getting a much-needed shot in the arm. Several large mixed-use construction projects are being built in walking distance of the Metro stop, and new restaurants are popping up here and there. Neighborhood stalwart Colonel Brooks Tavern, is being torn…
Capital Bikeshare Expands into Virginia
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more awesome, Capital Bikeshare is about to build on its ubiquity. Parent company Alta recently announced that our beloved bikeshare program is expanding southward to Alexandria, with an initial run of nine stations in Old Town, with more on the way. The program is already incredibly successful…
Fashion’s Night Out: DC Style
Whoever described Washington as “Hollywood for ugly people” clearly never visited Fashion’s Night Out: Georgetown. This past Thursday, September 6th, M Street played host to a variety of fashion-centric events, deals, parties, and well, some frankly beautiful people. DC Style Is Real was on hand to capture some of those faces and stories and to…
