When we think of an It Girl, we think of the girl that always knows where THE party is, where THE band is playing THE secret show and where we can indulge in ample “refreshments” among the stammering stylish. And if we get “caught in the flash” while dancing the night away, at least the pics are anonymous enough that our mom’s Google search won’t find us.

If there’s one girl that ALWAYS knows what’s happening in D.C., it’s Svetlana, editor of the must read Brightest Young Things. Yes she is stylish, but style only gets you so far. Her true genius is living as glamorously as the clothes she wears, and if you’re looking for nights that never end, Svetlana is your V.I.P. pass!
