Sizzling Hot Shopping Events This Weekend & Next

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, May 29th, 2009

Good morning, shoppers! Can you believe it’s almost time for the weekend again? Rock on! Life is grand!

That’s especially the case for those of you planning to get your vino on at Vintage Virginia, in Centreville, this weekend. Not only does the super fun event feature over 50 award-winning Virginia wineries sampling their best pours as well as plenty of vendors selling yummy festival food — love those crabcake sandwiches — but this year, the event’s 28th, VV will also be the place to check out the new luxury French skincare line, Votre Vu.

At the company’s swanky 27-foot Airstream, featuring two fabulous skincare bars,  you may sample some of the more than 50 botanically based Votre Vu products, which the company says are comparable to products from premier beauty brands like La Mer yet sold for one-third less. (That’s thanks to being sold online and through independent consultants exclusively.) Definitely worth a try!

It’s also not too early to think about next weekend. That’s because, fashionistas, Crystal City’s fabulous Gossip on 23rd is hosting a luau next Saturday, June 6th, that you’re not going to want to miss! To take place in the parking lot behind Tortoise & Hare (across the street from Gossip) from 1 to 9 p.m., Luau in the Lot will combine all of your summertime favorites:  a Gossip on 23rd Trunk Show featuring sizzling hot summer fashions and a chance to win gift certificates and merchandise, steel drums and cool beats from Rome in a Day and Emmet Swimming, barbecue bites and a raw bar, plus amazing drink specials!

And, great news! Tickets are just $10 in advance, will be $15 at the door.

Happy Friday!
