DC for the Summer

So I thought I would share...I was offered a summer internship in DC with an organization I really really wanted to work for. I will be there for 2 months from June to August, but know absolutely nothing about the area. What are the up and coming neighborhoods to live in? Where are the fun areas to shop? What restaurants are good?
Where should I avoid when wandering around trying to find all of things mentioned above?

Promise Wedge

I'm getting ready for spring and bought a cute (super cheap!) pair of wedges from Forever21. Only $21.80.

Heartdrew Invisible Cities



These are really great shots under the chapter heading "Invisible Cities" from Heartdrew. Each one shows an incredibly different perspective of city life. Found this through fortysixth at grace.

Maria's Bungalow on AT

Catching up on my HouseTours on Apartmentherapy this morning, I came across Maria's Oh So You Bungalow. It is waaaaay too colorful for my taste (you should really check it out), but 2 more subdued photos really caught my eye. I would never have had the thought "Hm, I think I'll paint birds on the side of my house today..." but how cute are they?This looks like a vacation spot to me. I really like this area in the dark.

Gig Posters

Found this through Treasuring and am quite excited! I've been searching for something like this for awhile now. You can even search by band! I've been listening to a lot of Andrew Bird lately, and his posters are really very pretty.Gigposters.com

Erica Weiner at Urban Outfitters

Back in June '07 I posted about Erica Weiner's pretty necklaces. I was admiring some earrings at Urban last week and lo and behold they were Erica Weiner! Guess she made it big to be selling to Urban Outfitters. These are so pretty. I plan on making them my "I nailed down a summer internship" treat when that happens...
