When Whitney Stringer isn’t busy telling others about the latest and greatest events, brands and organizations in the region, the woman behind WS Public Relations & Events can be found spending time with friends along the Old Town waterfront—or just splurging at the boutiques, of course.

Accessorize it

I love finding accessories in NoVA. It’s fun to hunt for fun jewelry at Mint Condition in Old Town, and their neighbor Bishop Boutique always has pieces like this fedora, which is perfect for the season.

Favorite NoVA spa

Cera Wax Studio in Mosaic District is the best! From their detailed customer service to their product selection, including their in-house scrubs, they always create a luxury experience.

Favorite spot for entertainment

It’s fun to pack a picnic and enjoy a show under the stars at Wolf Trap.

Favorite spot for relaxing

The Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. They have such beautiful views, making it a perfect little nearby and relaxing escape.

Favorite NoVA October spot

It’s great to visit the NoVA wineries in fall during harvest season. Cana Vineyard and Winery of Middleburg is such a charming property.

Favorite fashion discovery

I recently discovered the brand TruFaceByGrace based out of Fairfax (and available on Etsy), with their unique pieces paying homage to various African nations. Their hand-beaded purses make such a statement.

Favorite local dining options

Falls Church has some great options like Elephant Jumps for Thai cuisine and Mad Fox Brewing Company is a great a pub.
