I finally got the original dream team back together. Tayo, Courtney and Megan once again took time out of their busy schedules to help showcase some of the beautiful looks we have for Veronica Beard. Veronica isn’t just for work. Their jackets paired with denim are the perfect weekend look and have perfected the elevated t-shirt.

If you’ve ever owned a signature scent, hunted one down, or caught a fleeting trace and still regret not asking what it was, you know that a great scent lingers in memory long after it fades from skin. 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.

The holidays are a time for excess, but once the new year hits, we’re all trying to do more with less. Spring cleaning is just around the corner, and at Neat Method, we’re here to share our tried-and-true tips for staying clutter-free.

In a town that appreciates fresh flowers as much as Alexandria does, there’s nothing better than walking into a room and being greeted by something beautiful on the table. The good news? Whether your flowers came from the corner market or your favorite local florist, a few thoughtful habits can add days — sometimes even a full week — to their life.

Discover what’s next in Alexandria’s most sought-after neighborhoods with these properties from The Patterson Group. From golf course colonials to beautifully updated homes in Fort Hunt, these properties offer refined living, thoughtful renovations, and exceptional locations. Get an early look at these standout residences before they officially hit the market.

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. 

Last month a client walked into our frame studio with a bird painting that needed help. The painting itself was dynamic with bold color, confident brushwork, and a terrific expression. Clearly the work of a skilled painter who knew the subject well. And yet… it fell short. I don’t know how long my client lived with it in that state, but the truth is this: many strong works of art are quietly diminished by their frame and mounting.

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.

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 5, from 12–4 p.m. as Patina welcomes author Robert F. Weinhagen Jr. for a book signing of Old Town Style, a beautifully curated tribute to the architecture and enduring character that define Old Town.

I’m not sure about you, but I am SO ready to start thinking about warmer weather—and with that comes spring cleaning! If you’re the type of person who loves a good reset (and let’s be real, who doesn’t love a color-coded calendar, restocked desk supplies, and a freshly organized desktop?), I’ve got a financial spring cleaning checklist for you.

Walk into Wine Gallery 108 and you will immediately notice a difference from the ho-hum wine aisle at your local supermarket or big-box retailer. This wine shop exudes creativity, warmth, and hospitality.

Next week, we are hosting our 10th Veronica Beard Trunk Show, and it is still the most anticipated event of the year. Throughout the years, the brand has continued to be a wonderful partner, sending us beautiful pieces and a member of their sales team to help our customers learn about the fit and assist with ordering from the spring collection.

I came across an article: “Ozempic Face: An Emerging Drug-Related Aesthetic Concern” that described “Ozempic face” as a prematurely aged, fatigued facial appearance caused by rapid weight loss. My first reaction was disbelief—lose the weight, only to have a telltale sign of GLP-1 drug use show up on your most front-facing asset. Naturally, I had to dig deeper.

Whether you're treating yourself to a solo adventure, escaping with your best girlfriends, or finally taking that trip you've been pinning for years, Amsterdam is one of those cities that feels like it was designed entirely for women who know what they want.

As we reflect on 2025, the Washington Metropolitan Area’s luxury residential real estate market demonstrated remarkable resilience. Despite a substantial downsizing of the region’s federal workforce and contractor base, tariffs that disrupted global markets during the height of the spring season, and historically low housing inventory, the market remained strong.

For years, hormone replacement therapy (now more accurately called menopausal hormone therapy, or MHT) has lived inside a “black box” for many women…mysterious, intimidating, and often misunderstood. If you came of age hearing that hormones were dangerous, risky, or something to avoid at all costs, you’re not alone.

When it comes to front doors, there’s no rulebook that truly matters, only how a color makes you feel when you come home. Your front door should spark joy, reflect your personality, and feel right for you. That’s the real design priority.

Have you ever had a shoulder that seems to get stiffer and stiffer? No clear injury or obvious reason exists for your discomfort. You may have even cut back on things like lifting your kids, going to the gym and doing household chores in hopes of getting some relief. Yet the pain still lingers, and your motion is getting worse.If this sounds familiar, please hear this: you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.

We’re starting the season with TWP and it feels like the perfect way to ease into spring. These are beautiful transition pieces that will carry you through the last stretch of winter and straight into the new season.
