We'll be open 10-4 on New Year's Eve to help you with all your last minute fashion disasters...don't worry, we've got a variety of quick fixes in stock to help you out, as well as party dresses in case you receive a last minute invitation or decide you hate what you had in mind to wear (it happens, we know).
Also, we're starting new Winter Hours beginning January 2nd (we'll be closed the first). Our NEW hours will be: Monday through Friday 11-7, Saturday 11-6 and Sunday 12-5. Do these hours not fit in with your schedule? Are you having a fashion emergency at 7AM or 11PM right before a big trip or meeting? Have no fear! You can ALWAYS call Elizabeth to book a special appointment for you (or even a group!) at ANY time, and there may be a lil' something extra in the way of discounts in it for you (hint! hint!). Call 202-607-0426 to book your appointment!
Wishing you a fabulous 2009!

Here's a fun, functional gift that will even earn you some extra points for creativity!

Of course, these all make for crowd-pleasing stocking stuffers, too.
Hollywood Fashion Tape $10.95

Periwinkle Gift Guide - Part 2
Luminary Candles - $24
These soy-wax candles simply have the best scents! It's not uncommon for customers (and employees, too!) to buy an arm-load to last them a few months, or to give as gifts for any occasion, including Christmas and Hanukkah! Each jar is surprisingly long-lastly and burns around 65 hours. We burn them here in the store and just one jar fills the entire store with a delicious scent. And yep, they're made in the USA. We're especially fond of the fall & winter scent varieties, including:
- Holiday: Your classic, spicy holiday scent. When you think of the holidays, this is what you smell!
- Divine Winter: Refreshing spearmint-like scent.
- Fresh Bake: This one smells like a batch of freshly baked cookies - irresistible!
- Fall Harvest: Think spiced cider with a hint of orange.
We don't have a whole lot of these left, so don't wait until the 23rd to get yours!
P.S. Did you know there's just 10 days until Christmas and only 8 days left to shop at Periwinkle? We'll be closed on the 24th & 25th.

Periwinkle Gift Guide - Part 1
December is nearly half over, and we'd like to help you out this holiday season as you make the final checks on your shopping list! From now until Christmas, we'll be recommending some sure-fire gifts that are "Recess-mas" friendly (i.e., won't put you back more than $100). Here's our first recommendation...
Hanky Panky Ornaments - $30
These great thong undies have been described by our customers as "the non-thong", "the most comfortable thongs I've ever tried", "the ONLY thongs I'll wear" and "the thong you give to a friend who swears she'll never wear thongs and then converts!". Hanky Panky loyalists love them because their wide, stretchy lace waistband doesn't pinch, pull or rub. And, they're pretty! Each box/ornament contains (1) jeweled Original style Hanky Panky Thong in your choice of Powder Blue with a present, White with a snowman and Red with a Christmas tree. These are the perfect option for lil' gifts for the gals and ideal stocking stuffers for the women in your family. They are one size fits all (up to about a size 14) - don't worry about offending anyone by buying the wrong size. Grab a handful of these here at Periwinkle while you're out and about this weekend!
