Um, yes please! We just got these fabulous Pima cotton robes from @salualingerie and they are DIVINE. They look great hanging up - but they really belong on a person curled up with a good book or a solid Netflix marathon. #salualingerie #derrieredesoie #loungewear #robes #snuggleweather #pimacotton #giftinspo #independentlingeriebrands #holidayshopping #wegiftwrap
Can we talk? The holidays can be such a joyous mess - hustling, bustling, giving and receiving - but they can also be difficult to navigate and stress-full. How are you taking care of yourself this year? Do you have a favorite self care ritual to recharge your batteries? If you need permission to opt out of something, do you give it to yourself? Our family celebrates Christmas in a mostly secular way - and a few years ago, I really started to dread the holiday. A close family friend who literally embodied Santa and the spirit of giving passed away the previous summer, and since then, even as an adult, Christmas lights twinkle a little less brightly for me. I love working around the holidays and being a small part of people’s festivities and gift-giving - and this year, I’ve decided to opt-in as much as I can, but to guilt free pass on some things that I just don’t feel great about (like Santa pictures with the kiddo- we will be skipping that for now). I’m also missing other relatives who have died, but trying to focus on bringing a sense of fun to our stores and in remembering those relatives in fun, unique to them ways. So on this dreary Monday - if you’re not totally jazzed about the holidays, I feel you. We’re here for you (and our holiday music mix isn’t obnoxious, I promise) and we’re all in this together. I’d love to hear your favorite ways to care for yourself during this busy season - feel free to share them below. -💕mg #holidays #selfcare #honesty #reallife #retaillife #smallbusiness #womanowned #mentalhealthmonday #takecareofyourself #celebratetheeveryday #charlottesville #roanoke #shopvirginia

Major Annie G. Fox (Army Nurse Corps) is our #WCW choice of the week. As a nurse in Army Nurse Corps,  then Lt. Annie Fox was stationed at Hickman field as the head nurse. Where is Hickman field you may ask? It is part of a joint base in Hawaii called, Pearl Harbor. During the attack on Dec. 7, 1941, Lt. Fox quickly took control of the situation as bombs rained down on the base. On October 26, 1942, in recognition of her efforts, Fox became the first woman in American history to be awarded the Purple Heart medal. Her citation read in part: “ During the attack, Lieutenant Fox in an exemplary manner, performed her duties as head nurse of the Station Hospital… [She] worked ceaselessly with coolness and efficiency and her fine example of calmness, courage, and leadership was of great benefit to the morale of all with whom she came in contact.” Annie Fox had a number of posts in the Army Nurse Corps serving as Assistant to the Principal Chief Nurse at Camp Phillips, Kansas. She served at Camp Kansas from 1943 to 1944. While there she was promoted to the rank of Major. Prior to her retirement from active duty December 15, 1945, she also served at Fort Francis E Warren in Wyoming.  She eventually settled in San Diego, California where two of her sisters resided.  Major Annie Fox died January 20, 1987 in San Francisco, California at the age of 93. Dec. 7, 2019 will mark the 78th anniverary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. #womencrushwednesday #derrieredesoiewcw #rememberwomeninhistory #womenofWWII #nurses #derrieredesoie  #wcw

Sarah Josepha Hale, a woman who has had an impact on so much of American culture, remains largely unknown. She is our #WCW choice for the week. •• After less than 10 years of marriage, Hale was left a widow with five children. In order to support her family, Hale turned to writing. In 1823, she published a collection of poems. Four years later, she published her first novel “Northwood: Life North and South.” She was one of the first female novelists in the United States. •• Her experience led her to become the editor of the Ladies Magazine in Boston, MA where she published Poems for Our Children, which included “Mary had a little Lamb.” Later, she moved to Philadelphia and became the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, a job she held until her 80’s. •• At the Lady’s book Hale became the equivalent to a modern influencer. The magazine, with few competitors, was largely read. Hale influenced everything from women’s fashion to domestic architecture. Godey’s Lady’s Book is credited with creating the tradition of the white wedding dress. Hale held the young Queen Victoria as a role model for feminity, and through an incorrect claim that wearing white was a long-standing custom, a new tradition was started. Would you believe her magazine also helped to start the tradition of the Christmas tree? Yup, it did! •• Through her role as editor, Hale also advocated for the establishment of a National Day of Thanksgiving. She published recipes and descriptions for food we now consider “traditional” Thanksgiving foods, and petitioned the President to establish the holiday officially. By 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, she convinced Abraham Lincoln to issue a proclamation designating the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving. However, it wasn’t until 60 years after Hale’s death in 1879, that Thanksgiving was finally codified as a national holiday. •• A special thank you to the "godmother of Thanksgiving" Sarah Hale! • Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving! • • #derrieredesoieWCW #thestoryofthanksgiving #influencerbeforeinstagram #womenwhochangedamerica #thanksgiving #shoplocal #shopsmall #shopwomanowned #shopsmallblackfriday #shopsmallbusinesssaturday
