Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, January 15th, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! Should you need any other reason to celebrate today other than the fact that it’s Friday (or that we’re to see the thermometer hit the mid-50s today), just look to the shopping world where reasons to celebrate abound, beginning with oodles of holiday weekend sales!

Here’s the scoop on a few of them, to get you started:

Just in time for the holiday weekend, Leesburg’s Madisonbelle (see owner Kim Dziabis in our January SHOP column) has slashed prices on leather jackets; jeans and pants by AG, 7 for All Mankind, Stitch’s and Silver; cashmere scarves; leather belts; handbags; dresses and more up to 75 percent!

Today through Valentine’s Day (hint hint, guys), Today’s Cargo in Alexandria is offering 30 percent off on all jewelry labor, including repairs, custom designs and remounts, stone replacement, resizing and more.

Also, remember that huge savings, up to 65-percent discounts on in-stock sheet sets, duvet covers, mattress pads, quilts, shams, towels, bath rugs, tablecloths and placemats are yours to enjoy at Vienna’s Valerianne through the end of the month.

As for the big guys …
