Celebrate Alexandria Days with Style, Blooms, and a Stylist in Store

If you follow Stylebook or any of the boutiques in Old Town, you’ve probably heard the buzz: this Saturday is Alexandria Days in Old Town. It’s a community-wide celebration where shops team up to make shopping more fun, with special activities happening throughout the day. Check each boutique’s website—or the Old Town Boutique Community site—for a full list of participating stores and event times.

So what are we doing to make the day special in our shop? We’ve planned two can’t-miss events.

First up, the fabulous Alicia McCaslin will be in-store from 12–4 pm. If you’re from Alexandria, you probably already know Alicia. She’s a native, an extraordinarily talented stylist, and the force behind @tullebox. Beyond her impeccable style, she’s simply a joy to work with. If you’ve ever thought about hiring a stylist, this is your chance to give it a try. Book your SignUp Genius appointment, and Alicia will send you a quick email beforehand to learn about your style goals.

Next, from 12–3 pm, the Old Town Flower Gal will be helping shoppers create their own “bloom bombs.” These fun floral bundles are limited to the first 30 customers, so come early! If we don’t run out, we’ll even have one or two pre-made bouquets for later shoppers.

While you’re here, browse The Hive’s newest arrivals and be sure to visit the other participating boutiques around Old Town. With each purchase, you’ll receive a custom Alexandria Days tote bag—available while supplies last.

It’s going to be a festive day in Old Town, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Owner | The Shoe Hive/The Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
