A smiling face is always a great way to start the morning, and if you tune in to ABC 7’s Good Morning Washington on weekdays, you’ll find reporter KRISTEN POWERS smiling right back. “I have the best job ever. I get to wake you up and get you ready for the day,” says the TV reporter, who joined the local news team in summer 2019. Prior to her move to the ABC station’s Rosslyn headquarters, she was covering local news in California, but during college, she interned on Capitol Hill as a multimedia journalist. So you could say her arrival in the DC region is a homecoming of sorts. Here, Powers shares all of her fashion faves, plus where you can find her in NoVA when she’s not bringing you the news.

Camera-Ready Color
“When it comes to my hair, my favorite place to go is Lavender and Mane in Arlington for color and products. One of the owners, Elle, keeps my hair camera-ready and healthy.”
Great Grapes
“One of my favorite wineries is Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg. It’s family-owned and has a friendly environment, and it’s beautiful.”

“Tysons Corner Center is my favorite place to shop. If you’re going to splurge, why limit yourself to one place?”

“There is no such thing as a bad hair day if you have a hat! I love this black one my mom passed down to me.”
