Event Preview: Show Us Your Bloomie's!

Finally at long last, Bloomie's opens!

It seems like just yesterday that someone drove their car into the side of the Hecht's building. And then one day, I looked up and there was a tall, shiny new, modern brick tribute to all that is good about shopping (though really, what's bad about shopping?) in its place.

A quick peek inside reveals a great addition to the fashion mecca that Chevy Chase has become. Its diverse and high-end collection of labels is centered around a giant skylight--ah, shopping in natural light, hoorah!--and from that center hangs an impressive mobile by the artist Brandon D'Leo.

Tuesday is the opening gala honoring the Kennedy Center; Wednesday is the Private Preview, and then Thursday the doors will open to the public. So whichever you're heading to, be there early so you can be the one to see it for yourself and break the news of its fabulousness first.

So on behalf of my clients and my own credit card, welcome to the neighborhood, dear Building o' Betsy!
