Home of the helmet hairdo and congressional comb-over, Washington, D.C., is a hotbed of fashion faux pas. If anyone should know, itβs βCrimes of Fashionβ columnist Lacey Smithsonian. She dishes out advice to the scandal-scorched and clothing-clueless, doing her part to change this townβone fashion victim at a time....
SHAWL TALE
Washington, D.C., fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian has always believed clothes can be magical, but sheβs never thought they can be cursed. Until now. Laceyβs best friend, Stella, is finally getting married, and at her bachelorette party, fellow bridesmaidβand fortune-tellerβMarie Largesse arrives with a stunning Russian shawl. A shawl, Marie warns, that can either bless or curse the wearer. When a party crasher who mocks the shawl is found dead the next day, the other guests fear the curse has been unleashed. But Lacey has her doubts, and she must employ all her Extra-Fashionary Perception to capture a villain who has vowed that nobody at this wedding will live happily ever afterβ¦.
