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!

Hello there, shoppers! So, it’s unofficially fall.
The kids are back in school. The traffic is back to nightmarish levels. And the local shopping scene is hosting all sorts of events to get us excited about the new season — and help us forget all of that horrible traffic.
Of course this week things are really heating up on the shopping front with Fashion’s Night Out! While the FNO festivities are looking mighty fine in Georgetown, there’s no need to cross the river with what Alexandria’s BeautyFull Boutique (Fashion’s Night Out Plus for plus-size pretties), Tysons Corner Center stores (Quidam by Cirque du Soleil displays and music, plus cocktails, sweet treats, raffles, tons of store discounts and more) and Tysons Galleria stores (celebrity appearances, complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, gifts with purchase, sweepstakes, live music and more) have planned.
As for Tysons Galleria, we have more details on Thursday’s soiree at Saks, and they’re stellar.
So we told you there would be healthy cooking demonstrations with star chefs and a silent auction to benefit March of Dimes, but we haven’t filled you in that Oprah’s former trainer for her Life Your Best Life Tour, Laurent Amzallag, will be there along with chiropractor Dr. Jen Faber, who has helped keep the Lada Gaga dancers dancing.
Also, the event, taking place from 4-7 p.m., presenting by “A Healthy Baby Begins With You” celebrity spokeswomen Tanya Lewis Lee (wife of Spike Lee), Saks, The March of Dimes, The Office of Minority Health and DC Magazine will include makeovers and a photo booth in celebration of the new B Brian Atwood collection.
Hope you’re resting up!
Happy shopping!
