A peek inside Vienna's Valerianne (111 Church St. NW, Vienna--upstairs)
Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all had a fabulous weekend. Should you be a bit down due to today being Monday, even though it’s absolutely gorgeous outside, keep that chin up. This week is sure to be an outstanding one for area shoppers! I mean, how often do you get to see fashion icons like Tim Gunn in the flesh?!
Yes, don’t forget Tysons Galleria’s All Access Fashion event starts Thursday, and if you spend $100 or more at participating Galleria retailers now (well, from this past Saturday, actually) through this Saturday, you’ll receive an exclusive limited-edition holiday gift and be professionally photographed with Project Runway’s main man!
Yet, you don’t have to wait four long days for some serious shopping fun, folks. Just one day away is a mega-sale at Vienna’s magnificent Valerianne!
Tomorrow, Sept. 15, through the end of the month, the boutique is offering savings up to 60 percent off almost all of its fabulous linens, gifts and home accessories (excluding only Kristine Martin Jewelry Designs and Santa Maria Novella products).
I’ll tell you what, ever since the lovely ladies of Valerianne sent me the scoop on the sale last Friday, my dreams have been filled with gorgeous pillows, dreamy scents, super-chic makeup bags, unbelievably soft bedding and towels, and tableware that could make anything a home chef cooks up look good! Trust me, you’ll find those items and so much more at the store.
To scoop up the remarkable limited-time savings for yourself, stop by Valerianne between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., or Sunday, between noon and 5 p.m.
Happy shopping!

Good morning, shoppers! Don’t you just love Fridays?! Me too, especially when I have a whole bunch of juicy shopping news to share! Then again, it can be hard to know where to begin in writing this blog.
I suppose I’ll start with some of today’s simply irresistible sales:
Is it time to shake up your beauty routine or stock up on all of your favorite beauty products? Skinstore.com is offering 20 percent off sitewide through Sept. 1 with the code “20AUG” at checkout.
Dying to buy a new fall trench or some fall dresses? Lord & Taylor is offering the opportunity to save big-time on such purchases during the store’s BIG sale. With the promo code “BIG” or this savings pass, you’ll save 15 percent on regular and sale items, 25 percent on clearance merchandise.
Looking for fabulous freebies? The Georgetown Cusp is offering a free gift with every Alice & Olivia purchase tomorrow.
Thinking your handbag collection has lost some of its luster? Today is the last day to save up to 75 percent on Kate Spade handbags and more, plus score free shipping, during the Sample Sale.
Been missing Bath & Body Works’ aromatherapy body mist? The store has brought back the much-loved product in five of its most popular scents — Lavender Chamomile, Lavender Vanilla, Jasmine Vanilla, Eucalyptus Spearmint and Black Currant Vanilla. Another reason to visit B&BW now: the Stock Up and Save event.
Does no store bring a smile to your face like Bloomies? During the Black & White Sale, going on now through Sunday, you can save up to 40 percent off and help the store benefit amfAR.
Other need-to-know-now shopping news:
Sept. 17-19, Tysons Galleria will host “All Access: Fashion,” a sure-to-be-fabulous charity event benefiting YouthAIDS, to include runway shows featuring luxury apparel from Galleria stores, in-store trunk shows, wine tastings, makeovers and much more, including special appearances by fashion icons including Tim Gunn from Project Runway and Frederique Van der Wal! I cannot thank the awesome Melanie Amoss of Salon Bleu, who will be doing hair and makeup at the event, enough for sharing the scoop.
Speaking of Salon Bleu, you’re going to want to clear your calendar now on October 4 and call the salon for an appointment: 202-333-BLEU (2538). Why? That’s when the remarkable salon will host “Cuts for the Cure,” a very special event to raise funds for the Maryland affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which directly benefits area residents. The charity, very close to the hearts of the Salon Bleu staff, will receive 100 percent of proceeds from the cut-a-thon! Don’t want to get your hair cut? You can still help the cause. Schedule a blow-dry and styling or make a donation.
And, finally, the Cash for Clunkers program may have been scrapped for now, but according to the A Girl Must Shop blog and Business Week, come fall we’ll welcome Cash for Refrigerators, a program to encourage shoppers to purchase high-efficiency models, which is already receiving a lot of criticism.
