This is my favorite Madewell out of of all the Madewells in Northern Virginia…read more I hate clothing shopping and I hate talking to sales people but the staff here is SO nice and I feel like they genuinely want to help you find your perfect dream item. It's because of the staff here, I've been able to throw away my pandemic leggings and reintroduce denim into my life. I love how wearable every item is, going from casual to dressy and can be worn for multiple occassions. Perfect for a work from home mama like me. Their accessory section is top notch -- I own several earrings, necklaces, and belts that have held up (and even get better!) over the years. I pick up a pair of sandals and sneakers every season and have found that their selection is comfortable and stylish as well. If you want to ask me what I'm wearing, it's Madewell.

The clerk called the owner who said NO RETURNS. NO EXCEPTIONS . What kind of store can't afford to give store credit after 25 days (and a crippling snow storm in the interim). I liked this store and have bought a lot there but will not be returning.

Scout & Molly's is my favorite upscale women's boutique located in the Mosaic District, and their…read moreReston and Annapolis locations are just as great. They offer curated women's clothing, unique designers, premium denim, dresses, jackets, accessories, and personalized styling you won't find in department stores. The Style Scouts give honest, personalized styling, and the selection is always fresh. I bought a Clara Sunwoo jacket here and get nonstop compliments. If you want high‑quality women's fashion and a boutique with a variety of stylish options, this is the place to shop.

I absolutely love this Anthropologie!…read more It's location in Mosaic Center allows me to add in a Target + grocery trip, with easy, free parking. It doesn't get any better than that! Their sale section is absolutely STACKED and the employees here are REALLY, REALLY NICE. When I came in post partum, looking like a hot mess, they must have saw me with a wild look in my eyes and helped steer me to some nice options that I still wear, and look great in years later! They also mentioned that they have a great free stylist you can schedule a consultation with who can help you update your wardrobe. I will forever be an Anthropologie girly!

For fans of classic children's clothing, look no further than Beaufort Bonnet! This children's…read moreboutique is the perfect for gift giving or special occassion ware. It is almost impossible to leave without saying "awww" at least three or four times when browsing. Quality is great and many of the pieces are made with pima cotton which is perfect for super sensitive skin. My daughter is especially fond of the little hidden toy kitchen section in the back complete with a little table and a baby carriage to push around. With her occupied, it's hard not to always get a little something-something when looking around. Sign up for their mailing list to get first dibs on sales and thank me later!

Would not accept return of an obviously defective product…read more I bought a black velvet dress to wear to a formal event. I had to pay cash, as this store does not take credit cards for purchases under $50. The dress was on sale and marked "final sale," so I threw away the receipt. The night of the event, after putting it on and fiddling with it a bit, I found that my fingers and fingernails were covered with blackish, purplish dye, which had rubbed off from the dress. I couldn't wash it off with soap and water, and had to use nail polish remover (and ruin my manicure) to get it off. I had to wear something else. I took the dress back to the store the next day with the tag. The salesperson called her manager to see what to do. The manager hung up on her, then she told me they would not take it back. She said I could come in tomorrow (again) when the manager would be there, but that the sale was final. A final sale of an unwearable dress seems like a big-time consumer fraud to me. I guess the $40 means more to them than their reputation. Needless to say, I will not shop there again.

The Mosaic District is my absolute go-to spot in Fairfax County when I don't feel like heading into…read moreDC for good food and shopping. It's the perfect central hub -- plenty of amazing restaurants, well-curated shopping, and two super convenient parking garages. I also love that the area transforms on weekends with farmers markets and special events, sometimes even closing off a main street to make it pedestrian-only, which gives it such a fun, community feel. Some of my favorite shops here are Target, West Elm, Barnes & Noble, and Lululemon. For food, you can't go wrong with Bar Taco, Alta Strada, True Food Kitchen, or grabbing a quick bowl at Playa Bowls. The mix of casual and elevated options makes it easy to find exactly what you're in the mood for. Mosaic has everything -- it's lively, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Truly one of the best places in Northern Virginia to spend a day or evening!
