Small Business Saturday: Shop Small in a BIG Way

The holidays are around the corner (yes, it is that time of year) and with that comes the choice of where you'll be doing your shopping. As simple as that answer might be -- "where I'll get the best stuff for the best prices of course", I want to encourage you to think a little bigger this year. We have all seen the efforts by American Express to push the #shopsmall campaign, but we wanted to take it a step further and make our own efforts to get you to think outside the big retailers and online shopping, and encouraging you to shop locally! About two weeks ago, in collaboration with the Old Town Boutique District and our friend Sebastian Marin, we shot this video capturing the essence of what shopping in Old Town Alexandria is all about. The way we see it is simple. It's not just shopping, it's supporting this beautiful community while also finding the perfect gifts. So join us this holiday season and shop small in a BIG way!

Intrigue Me Now

We all know that the holiday season also means there will be parties and lots of them, and with the parties come the questions "what should I wear? what's appropriate? what's in style?". There are parties you just have to attend (like those boring office gatherings), want to attend (friendship dinners, family reunions, gift exchange dinners), and those that you are just dying to get into (VIP parties, Inauguration balls, and the "are you on the list?" events!) So to get you even more excited for this season of cheer, glitter, and glam, we put together some of our favorite blogger looks we're totally digging right now and hope they help you make the right decisions as to the right attire for the right event. But heck, even if you get it wrong, it's still a party so throw back a few and have a blast -- without making a fool out of yourself in front of the boss of course ;)

Speaking of VIP parties, we are super excited to attend the grand Unveiling Party at Shadow Room this Friday! We've been huge supporters of this venue since they opened their doors, and are excited to celebrate our friend's success over some bubbly & good beats! If you're from DC, this party is a must attend. Stop by and say hello to us, we'll be the table of girls enjoying a much deserved Girl's Night Out!

Designed by TV Personality Yvette Irene (featured on HGTV, Food Network & DIY Network) who also designed local venues such as Buddha Bar, Dirty Bar, Darna Lounge & Restaurant and District Kitchen, the new space will feature all new baroque inspired decor, ostrich leather banquets and seating for all tables, new custom VIP tables, a central DJ booth, and much much more!
