This month is typically crazy for our family, as I know many of us joke about Maycember, but THIS May is next level! I’m lucky to have two kiddos with May birthdays, but this week my oldest, Lilly turns 18 and we are hosting her graduation/birthday party! 

By far the most beautiful drive in the DMV, the George Washington Memorial Parkway is a gem full of scenic stops, wildlife, and activities. We’ve compiled a list of must-visit places along the GW Parkway from on-land activities to water adventures. 

It’s not even officially summer so I feel a little bad about sharing this lookbook since we call it the “Pre-Fall” delivery. The items on these pages are not very fall-like until you get to the end of the book; they really have more of a summertime feel.

Shopping for a dad can be tricky, particularly if said dad insists he needs nothing. If this sounds like a dad you’re celebrating this Father’s Day, it’s your lucky day. We’ve worked extra hard this year to bring in some gifts that will not disappoint.

Whether the project is a large-scale addition, kitchen renovation, general construction, or a small bath remodel, all projects fit into the procurement, pre-construction and construction phases to ensure attention to detail at every step.

“Storytelling is so important to me, digging in and explaining the art and science behind architecture. All of my experiences in operations and comms led me here, and I’m so grateful for my career and to work for a local small business, where I’m raising my family.”

Have you ever thought about sunscreen for your hair? If you haven’t, you’re not alone! Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need sun protection to stay healthy and beautiful, too.

Over the week we have featured our favorite items from The Shoe Hive and The Hive. Now it’s Yellow Jacket's turn, and it is with great sadness that I have to announce that it isn’t just the start of the spring sale; it’s our Going Out Of Business Sale.

New furniture is an investment, and it takes time to find the right piece. There are lots of things to consider – and one of the most important is whether you want to slipcover or upholster. I’m sharing the pros and cons of each to help you make that decision.

Madeline picked some of her favorite pieces that she can’t believe made it to markdowns, along with items that already found their way into her closet this spring. Check ‘em out!

I had walked by Ms. Moxie’s Moonshop more than a few times and was always curious about what was inside. The name kind of intrigued me, too. Did they sell crystals? Was it a hippie shop and did they howl at the moon?

We have all been there…when your home starts to feel dated, dull, or lacking a fresh vibe but you don’t want to spend money on renovations. This is where you can make wallpaper your best friend. 

The debut of AIP BESPOKE brings a quarterly suite of bespoke and custom experiences ranging from design-your-own accessories and hand-painted monogramming to made-to-measure tailoring and custom footwear from some of South America’s most elite polo boot makers.

With the rising popularity of weight loss drugs and an endless stream of new diets, the false images, unrealistic expectations, and empty promises they sell us are impossible to ignore.

This week we are kicking off our Summer Sale at all three locations: The Shoe Hive, The Hive and Yellow Jacket. I asked Madeline to share some of the items she was surprised didn’t sell – and share some of the pieces she purchased herself that we still have in stock.

We discussed all the things – relationships, spring events, retirement planning, the wealth transfer and the language of money. That’s what I love about smart, confident women—the conversation goes much deeper.

Something you may not know about me: I had a not-so-awesome childhood. Well, that’s not all true. Until the age of eight it was pretty idyllic. But in the fourth grade, my parents divorced and it was a doozy. 

When I was a little girl, if I was very well behaved in the drugstore, my mother would sometimes buy me a hair accessory. I should note that at the time my hair was so long that I could sit on it, so sparkly clips and scrunchies were like currency.

Among the many design elements that shape our living spaces, lighting reigns supreme. It serves to bring all other elements into focus.

I have always had an aversion to cargo pants. I think it was because of a bad date in the 80s when the guy had some unfortunate baggy cargo shorts on.
