Monday Musings
Was Labor Day just one short week ago? Alexandria Stylebook's fall events and happenings are in full swing, and we think you'll agree that it's going to be a great fall! So be sure to read our newsletter and follow us on Instagram to stay in the know – we promise you will not want to miss any of the amazing things happening this fall!
Elizabeth: Last spring, we had our Yellow Jacket grand opening with Sid Mashburn, and it was a huge hit. We are kicking off fall the same way. Come meet Sid Mashburn, his Master Tailor, Qadir Amiri, plus a couple of guys from their team. They will have selections from their Fall 22 ready-to-wear collection and an array of MTM fabrics for both tailored clothing and shirting. Thursday, September 15, 5:30pm-8pm, and Friday, September 16, 9am-3p. Click here to make an appointment. (Available at Yellow Jacket, $175-$325 as shown)
Every season there is an item that I think about from the time I place it until the time it arrives. Well, since last February, I have been dreaming about this suit from Rachel Comey. If you saw any of the recent press about Bullet Train and saw Brad Pitt in a pink pantsuit, let's just say I had a moment. You just can't go wrong with pink. (Available at The Hive, $550, pant; $750, blazer)
Adrien: Mindset is KEY to your wellness success. The old beliefs we carry with us can be counterproductive. Stuck in a mindset of "exercise + dieting = weight loss," you are likely ignoring a main roadblock to your wellness - STRESS. Alexandria Wellness programs give you the tools to step away from the stress-inducing, ineffective cycle of diet, excessive cardio, and guilt. In this week's blog, I tell the story of Jill, who realized "...the guilt I always felt about poor food choices was even worse for my wellness than the actual food. This is a huge relief for me. I now feel very little guilt or shame over food, and my stress is lower."
Amy: A custom mug made just for us by the one and only Sapling Press. We could not love this more. (Penny Post, $24)
Britt: This coming weekend is a big one for The Patterson Group. We're thrilled to be a sponsor of the Alexandria Seaport Foundation's Wine on the Water this Saturday, September 17. We are especially delighted that it is in person this year! It should be an amazing night of fun AND fundraising.
On Sunday, we are hosting the launch of a very special listing to the market, 1200 Cedar Dale Lane. You'll learn more about this event in our post later this week, but for now, mark your calendars; we hope you'll join us Sunday, September 18, from 1pm-4pm for a tour of this timeless new construction over barbeque, music, and yard games.
Celthia: Cire Trudon is widely known as the luxury candle of choice for royalty and celebrities, dating back to the 1600s! Fast forward to 2017, Cire Trudon has extended their master craftsmanship of olfactive complexity to their first five perfumes! Their latest addition to the Eaux de Parfums collection, Aphelie, is described as "A new feminity imbued in nature and romanticism." It boasts Head Notes of Rose Essence and Green Ivy combined with Base Notes of Sandalwood and Tonka Beans to create a scent that evokes a sense of experience. (Available at Bellacara, $240)
