Old Town Alexandria's Fashion Night Out!

by Ashlee

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! The hubs and I headed up to Ocean City for a surprise party. Can you believe in my eight years of living in VA that I had never been to Ocean City during the summer? I have been there two times, but both in the off season. Boy is there a HUGE difference in the off to peak season :) I am lucky to have friends that live there year round. I felt like such a celebrity heading to Secrets by boat ;) Can you imagine having this view year round?

I also found my new second favorite drink (behind Sweet Tea vodka of course)- Birthday Cake flavored vodka! How have I never heard of this before now!?!?!


Enough about my wannabe P.Diddy lifestyle...Last night Trish, AVE's newest planner, and I headed out to Old Town to check out their first Annual Fashion Night Out. We are both huge Old Town lovers. We chose Alexandria for two reasons- 1. We love Alexandria's traditional, preppy vibe, and 2. We both REALLLY wanted to meet Monte from Atlanta's Say Yes to the Dress. Unfortunately both of us were tied up with event stuff and got there about 2 hours later than we anticipated. We arrived right at the start of the Fashion Show so our chances were ruined of a meet and greet...tear :'( Luckily Trish got a picture during the show!! I'm thinking he wasn't a fan of what the model was wearing...



After checking out the Fashion Show, we headed to a few of our favorite shops to score some sweet deals :) Our favs in Old Town are- The Lucky Knot, 3 Sisters, Lou Lou's, and Ben and Jerry's! I scored a super cute purple blazer from 3 Sisters which has me uber excited for fall! We had such a good time and wish we could have gotten there earlier. Already can't wait till next year!



The next few weeks are insanely busy so I will try to keep up with blogging! Remember you can always follow us on Twitter too!! 

Lastly, we will be at the Patriot Center Bridal Show this Sunday so please come by and say Heeeyyyy!!!!!

Till next time, happy planning!!
