Jersey Shore Pass the Hair Gel Shirt, $20 (crookedmonkey.com)
Good morning, shoppers! Did you wake up letting out a big yawn (bigger than usual), predicting that today would be just another boring old Tuesday? To add a bit of delight to your day, I thought we’d take a look at some of the topics creating quite a stir in the shopping world.
First, let’s talk iPhone. Always a fun topic, right? According to hothardware.com, AT&T may lose iPhone exclusivity tomorrow, Jan. 27! As a fiercely loyal Verizon customer, I’m really hoping the rumors are true. Should they not be, I guess I’ll have to just keep stealing my hubby’s phone/iPod/revolutionary Internet device away from him.
Second, let’s discuss the Golden Globes again. Yeah, I know serious style was showcased at the SAG Awards this past weekend, too, but whether the Globes dresses were winning or losing is not the topic du joir. Ladies, if, like me, you were wondering what happened to those delicate couture gowns that were dragged all over the rain-soaked red carpet, well, according to Rob Shuter of Pop Eater, as reported by shoppingblog.com, at least one star found herself stuck with a $10,000 bill!
Third, let’s take a look at some good news for Jersey Shore fans. Locally based crookedmonkey.com is now selling five Jersey Shore-themed t-shirts for guys, and four for the ladies, to help you announce your shared affinity for tanning, hot tubs, fist pumps and the like.
And, finally, we have to talk sales. Three places offering serious savings today include J. Crew (where you can save an additional 30 percent on sale items with code “EXTRA30″), 1800flowers.com (offering free shipping and no service charge on orders from their exclusive Valentine’s Day selection for weekday delivery starting 2/8) and myglassslipper.com (with oodles of gorgeous wedding shoe options currently discounted).
Speaking of V-Day, Devon Carter will be filling you in on some of our top gift ideas for guys and girlie girls tomorrow, so don’t miss tomorrow’s S.W.A.G. if you could use a little inspiration.
Have a great day! Happy shopping!
Hometown Holiday Shopping at Its Best

Let's Play Mail Toy, $63 (Red Barn Mercantile of the Old Town Boutique District)
Good morning, shoppers! I hope you’re doing well on this Hump Day. After all, there are some fantastic shopping events over the next two days that you’re simply not going to want to miss, especially those of you who loathe the mall.
The event I refer to taking place today is actually one for the fellas. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Today’s Cargo, in Alexandria, men are invited to shop for jewelry with their buds while enjoying lots of tasty snacks — away from their favorite nutrition nags.
And, as for tomorrow evening, Dec. 17, the Old Town Boutique District is pulling out all of the stops, once again, to make everyone’s holiday shopping nothing short of magical. All 26 member shops will stay open until 8 p.m. and offer free gift wrap plus, most importantly, the festive, warm, laid-back atmosphere that too often seems like something out of the past elsewhere.
While strolling around town, make sure to visit sample sale star Treat, for the store’s Annual Holiday Happy Hour event, happening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., featuring 30-percent savings store-wide, bubbly and sweets (of the food kind).
But all of the hometown holiday shopping action isn’t going take place in Alexandria, alone. Vienna isn’t about to let that happen, especially Pear Tree Cottage. Not only is the lovely store brimming with unique holiday gifts but tomorrow all holiday gifts there are to be discounted 25 percent. And then next week those savings are to get even bigger. The store is promising a 35-percent discount beginning next Wednesday, Dec. 23, and a 65-percent discount as of Saturday, Jan. 2.
Other local shopping news you should know:
Crookedmonkey.com is offering 15 percent off site-wide (no code necessary), plus free USPS� shipping with the promo code “HOLIDAY10″ — and is currently working on a Jersey Shore line of tees!
And, finally, Mervis Diamond Importers is offering one of their most exciting contests yet on Facebook. Become their fan to find the scoop on the contest and try your hand at winning. I’ve personally entered about four times already. The jewelry store is also hosting their 10th Annual Holiday Trunk Show this weekend, featuring 25-percent savings.
Happy shopping!
