You've heard the cliche or phrase "Diamond in the Ruff," which btw is my name title for writing my…read morepoetry. But this is not about that! Vintage & Charmed Classic Clothing (from here on VCCC) is definitely what I'd consider to be that diamond. It's not just one type or style of vintage clothing, but a mix of vintage, classy, street chic, retro, boho, and other tasteful styles and fashion. And might I add a colorful assortment of clothing fabrics. I'm a fan and client shopper, and I sell vintage as well. But I love shopping different places and buying vintage clothing for myself. It's hard NOT to buy something from VCCC, when the getting is this good and wall-to-wall clothes and colors winking at you. Don't just read this review; go check it out! And here's another phrase, "Something vintage awaits You."

Unfortunately, some of my group has said their charms came off and our custom charm completely bled and faded, but overall it was a good time.

I do love the jewelry here, and the display at this location is beautiful. Staff was super helpful, despite my visit on busy, beautiful Saturday.

She was awesome though.). This location is great and I highly recommend visiting.

I made sure to visit every corner of the store to make sure I did not miss a thing. It's a wonderful spot to browse while you're in the neighborhood and to take a workshop. Virginia led a group of us through a plant and pot decorating class right in the store. For my first Steadfast event, this was well organized and we were well cared for by our host! It was a rare moment of art therapy for me. There were no rules except to paint. At the end, we got holy basil seeds and soil to complete the project. I can't wait to see it grow along with my other plants.

Christine, the owner, is French and listening to her lovely lilt while conversing with another French speaking patron drew me up the stairs immediately. Her space is filled with unique gifts she merchandises from Paris, as well as other fair trade items that support women working in remote locations across the globe. I picked up a beautiful scarf for my momma, as I try to find one for her whenever I'm traveling. Quaint and reasonably priced, there's a little something for everyone, but truly the best part of all is Christine. She's warm and friendly and we immediately fell into a lengthy conversation that made my whole day. If you ever wanted an immediate French bestie, this is the place to find her. Thank you Christine, and Vive la France!

The day I stopped by, they had just gotten a new shipment in and there were tons of cute styles to choose from in colors perfect for fall. Additionally, they sell accessories like yoga mats, water bottles, and candles. After walking around the shop for a while, I bought a long-sleeved running top from Oiselle to wear during fall training runs, and I love it. It's breathable and warm, and already a staple athletic top in my closet. I also saw a really cool running tank with "Hill Runners" written down the back that I have my eye on, so I'll definitely be back. I'm so glad I stumbled across this place on a walk around my neighborhood a few weeks ago. It's convenient, sells some of my favorite brands, and is different from the lululemon stores around DC, but best of all Summit to Soul is invested in their customers and the surrounding community. Apparently, they host workouts, runs and community events in southeast DC. I really want to join their Wednesday night long run squad, take advantage of the yoga classes, and become part of the running community here.
