Snow Day Stroll Through Old Town

The weather has been beautiful this fall, but even with the lovely weather we’ve all spent our fair share of time indoors this year. So, when I heard it was going to snow on Wednesday, I got excited. That’s kind of a big deal because usually this California girl is not a fan. I am actually looking forward to bundling up and walking through the snow this year. We’ve been cooped up for too long! It occurred to me that we should encourage everyone to go on a Snow Day Stroll.

In order to make the stroll even more festive, the following boutiques will be giving everyone who stops in this Wednesday, December 16, and mentions the Snow Day Stroll a little gift. Kelly at Bishop Boutique is giving everyone a free gift with purchase; Maura at Monday’s Child is offering 25 percent off any one item; Danielle at fibre space is giving away sample sizes of Laundress and Soak detergents – perfect for washing delicates; Amy at Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post is giving away Everyone’s a Winner Scratch Offs that are good for up to a 30 percent discount or $100 gift card; Elizabeth at The Hive and The Shoe Hive is giving away hair ties and candles with purchase; 529 Kids Consign, Mint Condition, and Mint Collective are doling out treats as well; and I’m giving everyone a little gift of deluxe samples just for popping in.

So, while you’re out enjoying a wintery walk through Old Town fit for a scene on the Hallmark channel, pop into these boutiques for a little gift as well. Happy snow day!

  • The latest from Angela
I have been a beauty junkie for what seems like forever, but before I did anything about it, I went to law school. (Yes, my life is a little like the reverse of Legally Blonde.) Then, I worked as a prosecutor in Sonoma County after which I moved to the DC area with my husband in ’97. I served as Majority Counsel to the Senate Banking Committee followed by a year-long stint at a lobbying firm. You get the picture. It was then that I decided to act on my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Finding my favorite beauty products proved to be impossible without stepping foot in a mall–the horror. So, I decided to bring my favorites to Alexandria. A few trips to New York and a flight to France and Bellacara was born in March 2000.

Located in historic Old Town Alexandria, for more than 17 years Bellacara has been Northern Virginia's preeminent boutique for high end cosmetic, skincare and haircare products. At Bellacara you will find premiere beauty products that have been carefully edited by the store’s owner, Angela Sitilides, who personally tests all the products sold in store.
