Street Style: Meet Gizem Şalcıgil White of Turkish Coffee Lady

Gizem Şalcıgil White has always believed that coffee is more than a drink—it's a doorway. A doorway into culture, into conversation, into the kind of human connection that the modern world too often rushes past. Inside Turkish Coffee Lady, that belief comes to life in every detail, and it's exactly what she set out to build—one cup of coffee at a time.

Tibi Spring Arrivals at The Hive

It’s difficult for me to pick favorites; honestly, there isn’t much from Tibi that I don’t love or own. I have been making an effort to order less Tibi for myself because my closet is a little out of control. I have failed this spring at doing so—I always joke that I am not a very good quitter—so I thought I would highlight some of my favorites.

Get Ready for the Tanya Taylor Trunk Show at The Hive

Last fall, we introduced Tanya Taylor to The Hive and kicked off our partnership with a trunk show. It was a huge success. When I asked our sales representative if we could also host a spring show, not only did she agree, but she helped me out by reserving a great selection to send us before it sold out.

Street Style: Meet Debbie Bates-Schrott

In an industry that constantly reinvents itself, Debbie Bates-Schrott’s legacy isn’t just the agencies she built or the campaigns she led. It’s the relationships she nurtured, the risks she took that paid off, and the confidence that even when someone tells you it won’t work – you can prove them wrong. And Debbie has done just that.

Step Out in Style: The AGL Event at The Hive

It is time for our first shoe event of the year, which is fitting because AGL is the first event we ever hosted at the store. I have mentioned before that AGL is the only brand we have in store that was on our shelves when we opened in 2003. I have a special attachment to this company and from March 26th-29th, it’s all 20% off.

Springing Forward at Patina Polished Living

Spring has always been the season of renewal, and the time change is a gentle reminder that shifting things a little can be a good thing. We somehow made it through the snow and ice and now it’s time to look around your home with fresh eyes. Try some new tabletop pieces, a different piece of art on the wall and décor that make you smile.

Virginia Women in Wine: Pioneers & Rock Stars

I have been a champion and advocate for the Virginia wine industry long before I opened my own retail wine shop. I remember my first few visits to Virginia wineries back in the mid-2000s, and it made me wonder why no one was talking about this wine country at all. Fast forward to 2026 and the word is out — loud and clear — this region is one to experience and behold.

Once again, I thought it would be fun to see what everyone at The Hive was looking to purchase from the Ulla Johnson spring collection and trunk show. I always ask my sales representatives, “What is on your personal order?” As a result, I’m sure our clients would like to know what was on ours.

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.

Spring Into Style: Ulla Johnson Trunk Show 2026

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.

Staff Picks from the Veronica Beard Trunk Show

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.
