an afternoon at Tysons Fairfax Square

The fine folks at Tysons Fairfax Square invited a few of us lucky bloggers to an intimate luncheon at Chef Geoff’s. I actually have a bit of personal history with this shopping center. I used to go to the movie theater that was here when I was a kid (saw both Titanic and The Big Lebowski here, oh yes). All of my much-loved Hermès bangles were picked out here on highly-anticipated shopping trips with my mom and grandmother. Also where many a B and dad tie were chosen for various celebratory occasions. Oh, and the Tiffany’s here was where I accidentally tried on a heartbreakingly beautiful engagement ring that just so happened to be set with an eye-poppingly expensive extremely rare blue diamond. The salespeople were so polite when they took me into the super secure jewelry trying-on room that I’m sure is generally reserved for sultans and Richard Branson, but I was all too happy to very carefully hand it back to them when I heard the upper six figure price tag. This time I ogled Gatsby-themed pearl necklaces and onyx rings. I’m a huge Deco fan so Jazz-Age Glamour is kind of my dream jewelry collection. And now, with Chef Geoff’s recently opening (B and I went on our first date at the original one on New Mexico), I think we can neatly round out this trip down memory lane. Looking forward to many more trips in the future :-).
