We’ll be celebrating our nation’s birthday by indulging in a slew of big summer sales in our Tuesday roundup of the area's best fashion and sales events.
Tuesday, July 1: The store’s big sale kicked off Monday morning, but we’re betting there’s still plenty of bargain finds to be found at Sugar, which has reduced all its spring and summer clothing a whopping 40 percent. Someone save some Loeffler Randall for us!
In Adams Morgan, the sweet little boutique Shake Your Booty launches its annual mega-sale Tuesday as well. We stopped in just last week and gushed over its fun, colorful selection of clothing, sandals, bags, and jewelry.
Thursday, July 3: Did someone say Manolo Blahnik on sale? Cusp slashes prices up to 65 percent on select spring and summer merchandise today at both its Georgetown and Tysons outposts.

We’re positively excited over this week’s influx of crafty goodness, funky jewelry, and local fashion.
Tuesday, June 23: The DC Fashionista Meetup was rescheduled from earlier this month to today at Paul Mitchell the School in McLean. Things kick off at 7:30 PM; the panel discussion is at 8—this month’s topic is “Get Noticed Now!” Go here for more details.
Wednesday, June 24: Washington designers stage a runway show for a good cause for the Stop Traffick With Fashion fundraiser. A $65 ticket gets you open bar and a glitzy fashion show at Lima Restaurant; proceeds benefit local victims of child trafficking.
Saturday, June 28: It’s a crazy-busy day in the Washington fashion world. In Alexandria, the local jewelry line Queen Bee Designs is hosting a two-day trunk show starting today with up to 50 percent off its regular prices. Get the info here.

If you’re on the hunt for a unique bargain, look no further than downtown Bethesda.
Takoma Park’s vintage boutiques may get most of the buzz in the suburbs, but serious bargain hunters and vintage lovers would do well to take Metro’s Red Line in the other direction and check out Bethesda’s lengthy roster of secondhand shops as well. We recently spent an afternoon exploring Bethesda’s bargain haunts and came home with a hefty load of cool vintage finds.
