Black Friday & Thanksgiving Day are both promising big bargains this year! (Shutterstock.com/Johnkworks)
Hello there, shoppers! If you’re bent on bagging some big-time bargains during the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, to commence in just a few days, here’s hoping you’re resting up now. Black Friday starts a day early this year at many stores — yup, Turkey Day, before many are even expected to come out of their food comas.
That includes Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets; while Midnight Madness is planned, as in years past, some stores will be opening as early as 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Other stores opening on Thursday include Walmart, which will be opening at 10 p.m.
While it would be virtually impossible to send you all of details on the deluge of deals, here are the high points, including a few pointers on staying ahead of the pack:
The city streets, anti-mall experience:
Head to Old Town Alexandria. Many stores in the Old Town Boutique District are offering 30-percent savings from 6-8 a.m., 20-percent savings from 8-10 a.m. and 10-percent savings the rest of the day. And every OTBD shop has something very special in store. Some discounts are even bigger; for instance, Treat is offering 40-percent savings from 8-10 a.m. Plus, the city is offering free parking on Black Friday at all city-owned garages and lots, with many opening at 6 a.m. Stick around until 7 p.m. for the tree lighting and other fun holiday festivities.
FREE PARKING HOURS: Market Square Garage, 108 N. Fairfax St., open 6 a.m. on Friday until 6 a.m. on Saturday; Courthouse Square Garage, 111 S. Pitt St., open 6 a.m. Friday until 3 a.m. Saturday; Thompson’s Alley Garage, 10 Thompson’s Alley, open 6 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Friday; N. Union St. Garage, 220 N. Union St., open 6 a.m. on Friday until 2:30 a.m. on Saturday; S. Henry St. Lot, 112 S. Henry St., from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Friday; Cameron/ Saint Asaph St. Lot, 210 N. Saint Asaph St., from 6 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. on Friday.
The mega-mall experience:
Here are your Black Friday sale hours (click on the mall links for the deals):
Fair Oaks Mall: 6 a.m.-10 p.m.
Fashion Center at Pentagon City: 5 a.m.- 10 p.m.
Dulles Town Center: Some stores will open as early as 5 a.m. (the rest at 6 a.m.) and as late as 11 p.m. (the rest at 10 p.m.)
Tysons Corner Center: Midnight madness, baby!
Tysons Galleria: Even the Galleria is opening early for the super-sale action, at 9 a.m., will be open until 9 p.m. And don’t miss the opening of the Gingerbread Wonderland Store, brought to us by The Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner, at 2 p.m. The life-size Gingerbread Boutique will have a variety of delights, special gift ideas and exciting culinary creations to browse while shopping.
Something in the middle:
As far as other huge sales, don’t forget about Amazon, especially if you’d like to shop in your PJs. And for something that falls between the mega-mall experience and shopping in the OTBD, don’t forget about places like Reston Town Center, Fairfax Corner and Market Common in Clarendon. Regarding the big-box stores like Walmart, Target, Best Buy and hhgregg, you might want to take a peek at theblackfriday.com, which has links to all of the associated sales flyers. And, shoppers, make sure to have your smartphone scanners ready — mucho importante!
Oh, and how could we forget about Apple! They’ll be doling out their own Black Friday deals, but don’t expect miracles. We’re usually not talking nearly free Macs or anything like that.
Happy shopping! Stay classy!

Black Friday Specials Beyond the Big-Box Stores
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, November 25th, 2010
Mega-shopping centers like Tysons Corner Center and the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets may open at midnight and offer their share of awesome deals, but Old Town Alexandria is not about to let the malls have all of the Black Friday retail love. As part of the Shop Local Alexandria initiative, many of the Old Town Boutique District stores will be open as early as 6 a.m. tomorrow, Nov. 26; and as always, the selections you’ll find in them will include unique items you just can’t find among the big guys. Plus, get a load of this: Make a purchase at any one of the OTBD stores and bring your receipt to any of the others to score 10 percent off your entire purchase at each (some restrictions may apply) on top of other Black Friday discounts.
Here is the full list of participants, store hours and their individual discounts. But it gets even better. All six city-owned garages and lots in Old Town will offer free Black Friday parking!
A few gift ideas courtesy of Red Barn Mercantile to get you even more pumped:
Mouse-in-a-Box, $25
Cheer Up Glass, $5.50; Cheer Up Decanter, $12.95
Godfather Quotations, $12.95
Tatine Soy/Beeswax Candles, $34
Let's Play Mail, $63
Happy shopping! And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Good morning, shoppers. Here’s hoping you all made it to your destinations safely today. While this weather is a drag, I say let’s focus on the positive. The perfect topic: shopping for a cause.
Starting tomorrow, Oct. 1., text “PINK” to 90999* to donate $10 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and you’ll be granted a special day of bargain shopping at the Premium Outlets Pink Event on Oct. 23-24.
Just show your donation receipt on your phone at the event registration table from opening until 6 p.m. on either day, and you’ll receive a special savings card filled with discounts from Coach, J.Crew, Michael Kors and more. On-site donations via cash or check will also be accepted during event hours, with all proceeds benefiting the Global Race for the Cure® Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. A representative from the local Komen Affiliate will also be available to answer questions regarding breast health and the organization’s efforts.
(I figured we all need some extra special news after learning yesterday that our boy Brad has left Rachel Zoe Inc. BANANAS!)

Firecrackin’ Sales to Celebrate Over
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, July 2nd, 2010
Good morning shoppers!
As we all know, this weekend is a big weekend. Some of us may be packing up the car and heading to the beach, others may be staying at home making plans for picnics by the pool and then heading over to your favorite spot to watch the fireworks. Whatever your plans may be, it is sure to be a great weekend with even more beautiful weather!
Lucky for us, stores all over the area are celebrating our Nation’s independence with sales for us serious shoppers. Start the fireworks, because these 4th of July sales are banging!
The annual July 4th Summer Sale at Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets has begun! Now until Monday July 5 enjoy extra discounts on top of the center’s everyday savings of 25-65 percent off. For those of you who may not be familiar with the outlets, the center has over 110 discount designer stores including Burberry, Coach, Crate and Barrel, J. Crew, Lacoste, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, and more!
Another sale that you must check out before Monday is the Bloomingdales 4th of July sale. Now through Monday, you can save 25-40 percent on select merchandise.
We have a full two months of summer left which means we have plenty of time to soak up the sun in some of the season’s hottest swimwear that just so happens to be on sale now at neimanmarcus.com. There is a huge selection of discounted bathing suits and cover ups that will make us feel like a million bucks this weekend on the beach.
And finally, let’s end on a sweet note. CakeLove in Tyson’s Corner is celebrating 4th of July with their Red, White, & Blue Cupcakes for only $4. Swing by the store to pick up some if you’re in need of a dessert item to bring to the Potluck or if you just want to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours.
Enjoy these festive sales shoppers! Have a great 4th of July, and hopefully you’ll be able to celebrate in a brand new outfit you just got on sale!

Hello there, shoppers! Happy Friday!
Here’s hoping you’re rested and ready for a shopping-filled weekend. Fantastic sales beckon — including remarkable deals on gifts for Dad!
When it comes to last-minute Father’s Day-focused sales, set those eyes on South Moon Under, especially if your dad loves Penguin apparel. You’ll score 20 percent off Penguin looks throughout the weekend, online and in stores. I also suggest heading out to the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets, where you can really load up on lovely gifts and still keep your spending in check; that’s thanks to additional savings on top of already-significant everyday savings at stores like Adidas. Foodie dads should also dig today’s Specialicious deal, particularly fans of true Italian food.
Then again, if you already have Dad taken care of and are in search of a swimsuit for yourself, instead, head on over to Saks, where swimwear is 30 percent off right now, in stores and online.
You’ll also find smokin’ summer sales at Pottery Barn Kids, where almost everything is currently marked up to 75 percent off, as well as Crate and Barrel, where select items are currently selling for up to 50 percent less than original prices.
Happy shopping! And, Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads out there!

Happy Friday, shoppers! You know those times when everything seems to happen at once? Next weekend is a fine example of this. While of course there are some amazing sales to take advantage of right now – like saving 20 percent at nationaljeancompany.com and saving up to 90 percent during the spring cleaning sale at The Dandelion Patch — but next weekend is so chock full of shopping events, it’s crazy. It seems like every news release I’ve received over the past two weeks is regarding an event to be held April 24 or April 25.

Call me old-fashioned, but when I eagerly opened my Christmas gift one year from a then-boyfriend, I expected the present to carry a certain WOW! factor. I never expected to see a skimpy thong, thigh highs and a see-through bra adorned with sequins and tassels. I wouldn’t even wear that for Halloween. And how was I supposed to explain that gift to my parents?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about sexy lingerie, but this was just plain tasteless. It would be one thing to receive this for Valentine’s Day, but Christmas? OK, so I tried it on. It was quite a workout to get into this little number, believe me. After staring in the mirror, I slipped into a pair of heels and pretended I was an exotic dancer. Unfortunately, he forgot to get me the pole.
He knew I wasn’t crazy about the gift by the surprised look on my face. I was really miffed because I had invested considerable time, thought and money in selecting his leather jacket for Christmas. Looking back, I should have simply told him how I felt.
Gift giving is not always easy, especially in a new relationship, but we have so many excellent choices for shopping in NoVA—Tysons Galleria, Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets, Pentagon City Mall, Reston Town Center and trendy boutiques.
Have you ever received something that was just plain awful? Did you tell the person? Did you return it, or did you keep it and pretend that you liked it?

Cusp is also offering 40-percent savings on select items right now, both in stores and on the Web. Talk about temptation!
