I just arrived back to Charlottesville after spending most of the summer at the beach.
The kids wanted to get a movie and I realized that Hollywood Video has been replaced with
Anthropologie.
Grand Opening August 21.

I am sure that many of my readers are thrilled with the opening of this Chain Store...and I must admit that I enjoyed walking in and taking a sneak peek at the new store.
BUT
Please remember.....our local boutiques.
For example, I saw the new AG Cords (my favorite) at Anthropologie--but... maybe you should think about buying those cords from Eloise, a local boutique, owned by local people.
OR
Be sure to stop at Scarpa after buying a cute dress from Anthropologie. They have AMAZING shoes.
I saw some very cool cowboy boots through the window this evening.
OR
Check out Levy's 70% off sale
Get a Facial at Neroli Spa
OR
Head up the hill to Whimsies and Shenanigans.
Its okay to shop at Anthropologie, just don't forget our
LOCAL and UNIQUE to CHARLOTTESVILLE STORES!
