The Party More than 700 philanthropic shoppers lined up around the block for the District Sample Sale, a fundraiser for Sitar Arts Center, at the former Filene’s Basement space in Mazza Gallerie. The People Real Housewives of DC stars Mary Amons and Lynda Erkiletian joined WUSA9 news anchor Andrea Roane to shop until they dropped. Best in Show Well-dressed (and heeled) shoppers perused clothes, shoes and jewelry from nearly 30 area boutiques, including Wink, Ginger, Julia Farr, and Sassanova. Photography by Abby Green
