I finally got the original dream team back together. Tayo, Courtney and Megan once again took time out of their busy schedules to help showcase some of the beautiful looks we have for Veronica Beard. Veronica isn’t just for work. Their jackets paired with denim are the perfect weekend look and have perfected the elevated t-shirt.

If you’ve ever owned a signature scent, hunted one down, or caught a fleeting trace and still regret not asking what it was, you know that a great scent lingers in memory long after it fades from skin. That identity defining and time-stopping relationship with scent is what drives Arielle Weinberg and Katri Haas, co-owners of the perfume playground, Arielle Shoshana.

The holidays are a time for excess, but once the new year hits, we’re all trying to do more with less. Spring cleaning is just around the corner, and at Neat Method, we’re here to share our tried-and-true tips for staying clutter-free.

In a town that appreciates fresh flowers as much as Alexandria does, there’s nothing better than walking into a room and being greeted by something beautiful on the table. The good news? Whether your flowers came from the corner market or your favorite local florist, a few thoughtful habits can add days — sometimes even a full week — to their life.

Discover what’s next in Alexandria’s most sought-after neighborhoods with these properties from The Patterson Group. From golf course colonials to beautifully updated homes in Fort Hunt, these properties offer refined living, thoughtful renovations, and exceptional locations. Get an early look at these standout residences before they officially hit the market.

This spring’s show is one of the best yet. There are some brands that, after a few years (okay, a decade) of seeing them, feel like their collections are on repeat — but I never feel that way with Ulla Johnson. Yes, there are always beautiful florals, which you simply can’t go wrong with, but her shapes and fabrics change every season, and there’s always something new and exciting. 

Last month a client walked into our frame studio with a bird painting that needed help. The painting itself was dynamic with bold color, confident brushwork, and a terrific expression. Clearly the work of a skilled painter who knew the subject well. And yet… it fell short. I don’t know how long my client lived with it in that state, but the truth is this: many strong works of art are quietly diminished by their frame and mounting.

When I go to market, I always ask my sales representatives what they are personally buying from the collection they sell. In the retail world, we call it “our personals.” I find it enlightening to learn what the people most familiar with a product think is so good that they can’t live without it. In that same spirit, I thought our customers might like to know what’s on our shopping list from the Veronica Beard Trunk Show.
