WHAT’S
HAPPENING?
When the weather outside gets frightful (hello, Snowpocalypse), we counter the
cold by going ultra-cozy. At North End Shaw, there’s plenty of ways to think warm:
sumptuous sweaters, steamy hot chocolate and—if it comes down to it—snow gear
that can stand the fiercest of storms. So bundle up and brave the chill: No matter
the temperature, there’s lots to explore out there.

Tranquil, inviting Aesop has built its
sterling reputation on customized
skincare. Don’t be surprised if uberfriendly staff suggest you try out their
lotions and potions to find products
that work with your skin type. At the
very least, it will leave you smelling
lovely for the rest of the day.
Think of hip Bucketfeet as an art
gallery for your feet: each of their
simple slip-on or lace-up shoes
is a limited edition designed by a
different artist from around the
world. The styles range from cool to
cute to quirky (think prints featuring
geometric designs, manatees or
mountainscapes), and notable artists
have been known to sell out nearly
instantly.
Renowned chef Tim Ma combines
his Chinese heritage with French
culinary training to create an amazing
gastronomical adventure at Kyirisan.
The modern decór sets the stage
for an array of original cocktails and
mouth-watering dishes, including
scallops served with coconut risotto
and basil ice cream, plus comfort
brunch fare like a panko chicken
sandwich served on a brioche.
And don't skip the dessert menu:
It's positively drool-worthy.

JOFF’S
HOUSE
Joff Masukawa’s
art-filled NW
home includes
this painting by
Titus Kaphar, titled
“The Gift of the
Inheritance.”
Marvin Gaye Mural
Marvin Gaye Mural
Artist: Aniekan Udofia
Location: 7th and S streets NW
Scoop: Construction painted over
the original version of this salute
to Shaw’s own Marvin Gaye; luckily,
its replacement is equally cool.
In the living room,
clean-lined, neutral
decor helps put the
focus on the paintings.
Shhh...
Artists: James Bullough and
Addison Karl (aka JBAK)
Location: 8 Florida Ave. NW
(near North Capitol Street)
Scoop: Local students
collaborated with the artists
to spray-paint this incredibly
life-like mural.
BABY
IT’S BOLD
OUTSIDE
If “all the world’s a canvas” in an artist’s eyes, then DC is
clearly a major muse. In the past few years, street murals
have been cropping up across the city, with colorful, dramatic
paintings now adorning buildings from Shaw to Southeast.
Many pay homage to the city’s roots (the Founding Fathers;
Duke Ellington), reflect important causes (education, diversity)
or highlight neighborhood communities, while others simply
showcase the colorful artistry of muralists who’ve come from
around the world to leave their mark here. Want to see more?
Visit dcmurals.info for a guide on the city’s outdoor art.
Crossroads Mural
Artists: Coby Kennedy, Maxx
Moses and Cita Sadeli
Location: 1846 4th St. NE
Scoop: Three distinct artists
each took a section of this
long mural, a colorful, abstract
reflection of DC life.

#IfIWasYourGirlfriend Mural
Artist: Drew Merritt and INSA
Location: 41 New York Ave. NE
Scoop: This giant
painting was created
as part of Pow!Wow!
DC, an arts festival
this past May that
brought multiple new
street murals to
the nearby NoMa
neighborhood.
Joff is the founder
of Diligentia, a life
sciences consultancy
with a focus on
medical innovations.
Depending on where
you stand, this piece
by Hank Willis Thomas
either reads “It’s All
About You” or “It’s Not
About You.”
DECK
THE
WALLS
Interior design aficionados ascribe to one major rule: Home is
where the art is. Whether your taste is more neutral or decidedly
not, nothing dresses up a room like bold artwork, be it sourced
from an affordable online shop (we like society6.com and
minted.com, for starters) or collected directly from galleries or
the artists themselves. As these two DC homes show, great art
can elevate any space, no matter your decorating style.
PHILIPPA’S
HOUSE
Turquoise walls serve
as a bright backdrop
for a range of vibrant
contemporary artwork.
The pink swirly piece
above the desk is
by Jiha Moon.
A good conversation
piece is never a bad thing,
like this skateboard deck
swing by Decoy.
PHILIPPA
HUGHES
“I like works with lots of
movement and information
in them,” says Philippa,
as evidenced by these
detailed pieces in her
living room.
Philippa is the creator
of the DC arts initiative
the Pink Line Project and
the podcast “Women of
Uncertain Age.”

From a “Christmas Extravaganza”—think carols,
sing-alongs, dancing and more — to more soulful
blues/hip-hop to finish out January, there's plenty

STYLE
If “bundling up” gives you visions of the Stay
Puft Marshmallow Man, fear not: As these
savvy dressers prove, it is possible to be both
warm and stylish at the same time. Their
tricks? Cozy, fitted coats (think sleek, not
puffy) and bold woolen scarves (a trad plaid
works every time), topped off with year-round
must-haves like cool sunglasses (the sun
still comes out in winter, after all). Go ahead
and break out the boots, hats and gloves for
blustery days. And don’t fret—spring will
be here before you know it.
