We were at a special fashion presentation at Bloomingdale's Chevy Chase. The event was hosted by InStyle magazine, along with special guest Bloomingdale's fashion director, Ready-to-Wear, Brooke Jaffee, who unveiled the hottest trends for this holiday season. She is flanked here by Time Inc/In Style's Ashley Cohen and Nicole Kenneally with Bloomingdale's Chevy Chase GM Susan Cannaday.

Fresh from their flagship store in New York City, some of the store’s best-selling items were previewed while Brooke explained why trendsetters are choosing the specific, sought-after pieces. We snapped Children's National chair of the Care for Kids program Denise Warner and president of its board of visitors Frances Fitzgerald with her daughter Mallory Fitzgerald.

Guests enjoyed light bites, bubbly, and music with special discounts offered throughout the store until 10pm, with 10% of proceeds donated to Children’s National Medical Center. Here, guests Susan Fitzgerald, Rosanna Cohen and Michele Petersen.
