We're seeking a local freelance/part-time project manager who is detail-oriented, enjoys job flexibility, has a strong connection to Alexandria, and possesses professional experience to proactively create better processes and project management tools.

This summer, I’m recommending you embrace both relaxation and mind-stimulation. A captivating story or inspiring tale can give you just the break you need, whether poolside or tucked into bed. 

The one item that folks come in looking for the most from April through July is: white jeans. To help everyone out with this summer staple we are having a White Denim Sale, June 24 through June 30. All white denim will be 20 percent off online and in store. 

In lieu of summer camp for adults and to prepare you and your kiddos for their own amazing camp experience, our stores have decided to spend July bringing a dose of camp to Old Town. We’re calling it Camp Stone Soup!

The Paris Olympics are fast approaching: Friday, Jul 26 - Sunday, Aug 11, 2024, and we have created the perfect list of things to do in Paris between the Olympic festivities.

Ashley’s background has been in surgical medicine for the past 20 years. “I’m an artist, and even though I can’t draw, I can paint your face. I can see the angles of your face, that's what injectable medicine is. It’s not replacing plastic surgery, it’s supporting your face. It’s changing the way your face catches the light.”

Our week in Provence included visiting Cassis, Avignon, St. Remy, Uzes, Nimes and Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Our last two days were spent relaxing and taking in the Provence laid back lifestyle. You start thinking – why don’t we live like this in Alexandria?

While we've been cruising around Old Town – walking, shopping, attending openings – we’ve also been checking out each other’s nails. We asked our contributors to share the summer hues they’re loving; see if any of these shades work for you.

Imagine this: I find myself at a delightful gathering, when suddenly, I overhear a woman passing judgment on another woman's attire, giggling to her gaggle, “OhMG, she's far too old to be wearing that!”  I then look down at my outfit and start to wonder. Thank goodness my glass of rosé brings me back to my senses. 

If you are in the market for a new black pant, these are your pants: not too dressy, and not too casual. They’re the perfect in-between and so comfortable. Wear them with a light linen shirt for work this summer, or a tank top and sandals for something more casual.

I see so many beautiful home transformations—with new concepts from our designers that I could’ve never imagined. I’m very envious because we renovated our home in 2018, and we did it ourselves. I made some choices that weren’t the greatest. I wish we had hired an expert or professional.

This prestigious estate in Cannes offers extremely luxurious services and an environment of rare elegance, with a lake, a tennis court, secluded woods, and a large outdoor swimming pool. 

Montserrat is truly one of those special places where nature rules and does not look like every other island. It’s the way the Caribbean used to be. Some of the best music was made in Montserrat and you really cannot beat how safe the island is and the kindness of the people.

Every parent has the same story to tell. My child doesn’t like to read, therefore he doesn’t read. That was true for my son, Will. We read together and he enjoyed that, but he didn’t read on his own. Nothing inspired him, until my brother gave him Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants.

We are moving into one of Old Town's most iconic storefronts and I couldn't be more thrilled about the enhanced shopping experience that awaits you in our beautiful, expanded space.

Krewe does a great job of breaking down different shapes for different faces. We wanted to share their expertise to maybe help edit your selection. Of course, we always think the best way to decide which pair to purchase is to try them on.

I’m sharing my family’s pizza on the patio night along with some of my favorite resources, and hope it inspires you to enjoy an evening at home. Maybe tinker with a creative tablescape or find a new wine or vase for your flowers…anything that will bring you a little dose of joy.

One of our signature and most popular necklaces is the link chain, which provides a unique and stylish touch to any outfit. To elevate your look, you can add a one-of-a-kind pendant like this South Sea pearl with a diamond and sapphire.

Making sure your beneficiary designations are up to date is a crucial part of estate planning. I recently needed to update mine due to divorce, but it also gave me a chance to revisit who was the beneficiary of what assets, and put that in line with my overall estate plan
