Gearing Up Now for Super-shopping This Thursday

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Good morning, shoppers! I hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend. Did you bag a lot of bargains?! If you’re like me and were too busy to, fortunately there are still some amazing sales going on today.

For starters, you can still save 50 to 70 percent off original prices on sale items at BCBG, receive $10 off Wexler products at bathandbodyworks.com and take advantage of Neiman Marcus‘ online Spend More, Save More Bedding Event plus the store’s legendary Beauty Event, which is going on online now through Sept. 21 and is to run in stores Sept. 10 through Sept. 20.

And, besides, this Thursday promises to be a shopper’s dream. First of all, as many of you I’m sure are already aware, Thursday, Sept. 10, has been declared Fashion’s Night Out, in a global effort to promote retail, restore consumer confidence and celebrate fashion. While New York City is leading the way here in the States, several stores in our area are jumping into the action as well.

In MidCity D.C., a whole host of stores will be open until 11 p.m.; all Neiman Marcus stores are promising designer appearances and selling an exlusive $30 Fashion’s Night Out t-shirt of which 40 percent of proceeds will support the September 11 Memorial and Museum; and various Old Town Alexandria stores are to be participating as well, including Treat, which, is to offer a gift with purchase, treats and bubbly according to Maurisa Potts, an executive board member of the Greater Washington Fashion Chamber of Commerce (GWFCC). The GWFCC is spearheading the local effort.

And, in Reston, a very special soiree is to take place on Thursday evening at The Dandelion Patch. From 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., the store will welcome the area’s betrothed couples to unwind, network and make friends with fellow engaged couples. Attendees may sip champagne, indulge in chocolate-covered delights thanks to The Chocolate Chick, take advantage of special discounts and chat with the Doreen Tisone, editor of Engaged Magazine, who will be on hand to distribute hot-off-the-press editions of the glossy.

Forget TGIF, it will be TGIT!
