Hello there, shoppers! If you think the fall season is a busy one, wait until you get a load of all of the spectacular shopping events coming up soon in our area — starting tonight!
The rundown …
Tonight, from 5-7 p.m., The Mosaic District – to open a year from now — will be hosting a Fashion’s Night Out pop-up shop at Arlington Ridge Shopping Center on S. Glebe. Meet Rochelle Behrens, the genius behind The Shirt!, chosen as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things — think no more peek-throughs, ladies! The Shirt! will be paired with fashions from Anthropologie, Lou Lou, South Moon Under and Last Call from Neiman Marcus.
Then, tomorrow, famed Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coin will be making a special appearance, previewing his new collection at Neiman Marcus in Tysons Galleria from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.!
Saturday, in Silver Spring — yep, Maryland; don’t tell anyone — there will be a special shopping expo for expectant moms, the Baby Bash & Bling Expo & Show, from 1-4 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza. Expect expert tips, mocktails, previews of must-have baby products and more. Tickets start at $35.
Also on Saturday, Periwinkle of Potomac Green and Shirlington, will be benefiting The Race to End Women’s Cancer with 20 percent of sales from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Shop for a cause as you sample complimentary bevvies and sweets.
Then next weekend, stay tuned for a special pop-up shop in Georgetown (2805 M St. NW) — there I go, having you cross the river again — from the Richmond-based designers behind Ledbury luxury men’s shirts, adored by GQ and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” among others. They’ll start the sale at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27 with a launch party featuring a whiskey bar and a little funk/soul. Then the sale will run Oct. 28-29 from 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m.
Also on Oct. 29, Potomac Mills will host a Role Models runway event honoring local women who go above and beyond to help others. The show will be hosted by Mix 107.3′s Aly Jacobs, and ticket proceeds will benefit Fashion for Paws, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Prince William chapter of the Virginia Breast Cancer Association.
Whew!
Happy shopping!
