Boutiques of the Week

Imagine Artwear

This is the place to go for unique, contemporary garments and accessories. Perfect for those with artistic and dramatic style personalities, but also very suitable for those who want sophisticated designs as well. Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria for over 18 years, Imagine Artwear also displays furniture, paintings, glass art, pottery and other designs throughout the boutique from American artists, but what caught our eye the most was their collection of handcrafted jewelry. The brightly colored and earth toned earrings, necklaces, bracelets and ornate eyeglass chains were sprinkled into the season’s new collections. In addition to their modish fall collection, make sure you catch the 40% off sale on their summer items including linen skirts and pants.

American in Paris

This fabulous boutique is where you want to be if you need that perfect little dress or gown for that special occasion. Cocktail dresses, gowns, dress suits, and even coats (mainly formal attire) can be found here. “I hand pick unique, timeless pieces from established designers—not trendy pieces that will go out of style. I choose garments that will last…” says Joelle Solimano. Joelle, the owner, stated that her customers are always her main priority and that quality is very important when selecting garments along with classic designs. Designs from Nicole Miller, Tabi, Cynthia Steffe, and Chloe among others are displayed in this tiny boutique.
