My RVA Loves
I am so excited to share this one with you today, Dolls! Being able to call Richmond my home is an absolute gift. From downtown to Short Pump and everywhere in between, I have fallen in love with so many amazing places in our town. I decided to pull together a list of some of my RVA Loves for you and I just know you’re going to love them, too.
BEAUTY
Luxe Lashes
It is no secret that my love for Luxe Lashes is deep. Arielle Davis, CEO + Boss Doll behind this amazing salon, can do it all. From lash extensions and brow maintenance to ultrasonic liposuction and skin tightening treatments, the Dolls at Luxe Lashes can do it all! I am absolutely in love with her lash serum and it has quickly become one of my favorite beauty go-to’s. Her black, white, and pink salon is so gorgeous and I’m immediately put at ease when I walk through the doors. Seriously Dolls, you need to go and check out Luxe Lashes!
Sugar And Hive Beauty bar
Sugar and Hive Beauty Bar is an amazing option in the Richmond area for all your beauty needs. One of the last times I visited, I had one of the most amazing facials I’ve ever had! I left feeling so relaxed and ready to tackle the day. Summer and her team always know how to make me feel amazing! AND I have some amazing news — they are opening their second location in the Libbie & Grove area soon! How cute is this wallpaper in their Green Gate salon?! EEK! I can’t wait to see the new location!
bombshell beauty lounge
I have been a longtime lover of Bombshell Brazilian Waxing and Beauty Lounge so it is no surprise that they are one of my RVA Loves! Their three convenient Richmond locations make it easy to pop in for some pampering! One of my favorite things to do with Bombshell is get a customized airbrush tan. It is so great to stop by for a quick spray tan and their pink decor always has me swooning! Looking for a fantastic blowout?! This is my FAVORITE place to get my blonde locks looking their best! Their services are endless and you’ll leave feeling like a whole new Doll!
FASHION
Neubyrne
You Dolls know I can’t resist a good shopping trip to keep my closet looking fresh! My closet would never be complete without some amazing Neubyrne pieces. From sparkly skirts to over-the-top bows, I am completely obsessed with their style. A Boss Doll designer who loves pink just as much as me?! OKAY, I’m sold!
J. Crew
Short Pump Town Center is absolutely one of my favorite places in Richmond. It is beautiful and there are so many amazing places to shop! One of my RVA Loves would have to be the J.Crew at Short Pump Town Center. There is such a large selection and they always have the most beautiful blazers. My favorite pink faux fur coat even came from there! Eek! They know how to make a Doll smile!
South Moon Under
South Moon Under is another one of my go-to spots when I’m looking for great fashion in Richmond. So many of my favorite sweaters have been bought there! From comfortable everyday wear to special occasion dresses and jumpsuits, this amazing store located in Short Pump Mall has it all. All this talking about shopping has me wanting to sneak out of #TheDollHQ for a quick shopping spree!
LIFESTYLE
Diamonds Direct
Diamonds Direct has always been my go-to stop for all things jewelry! I recently needed a new DOLL necklace to replace the one I wear every single day and I knew just where to go. The team at Diamonds Direct is always so kind and greets you with a smile each time. Looking for the widest selection of jewelry in the area?! Diamonds Direct is where you need to go! I love how quickly they were able to design and create my custom piece. My hearts skips a beat each time I walk in their doors!
The Quirk Hotel
There is no denying my love for the Quirk Hotel. I have had countless branding photoshoots done there for both myself and my sweet clients because it is so incredibly beautiful! From the pretty pink decor to the all-white rooftop, you cannot ignore it’s beauty. I mean it obviously has to be an RVA Love because my own wedding reception was held there! Forever in love with this adorable boutique hotel and venue.
The Joy Concierge
Dolls, I am about to change your life with this one! I am constantly on-the-go meeting with clients and don’t have much time to schedule for myself. I am a girl who loves pretty pink nails, but I was having the hardest time getting out to the nail salon every few weeks. Then I met Precious Turner with The Joy Concierge and now my life will never be the same. As a mobile spa, they come to you! Precious just recently came out to #TheDollHQ and was able to give me a beautiful manicure and it all happened in between my phone calls. I’ll never get over how much I love The Joy Concierge!
FOOD
Bar Solita
Bar Solita not only has amazing food and drinks, but it’s also such an adorable place to visit. It’d be wrong for me to mention them and not talk about their Flamingo Brunch. YES DOLLS! You read that right! Their brunch menu has everything from crepes to pizzas and an amazing drink menu to pair with all the delicious food. They need to be on the top of your list to try in the Richmond area!
Kabana Rooftop
When I am looking for a night out in Richmond, I always think of Kabana. Their gorgeous rooftop has some of the most AMAZING views of the city — and the pretty pink drinks don’t hurt either! Whether it’s a quick meeting with a client or a night out with my hubby, Kabana is the perfect spot to do #dollthethings. Champagne with a view?! Yes please!
Pulp Fiction
Looking for clean, natural, and fresh ingredients?! You’ll absolutely love Pulp Fiction! Their handcrafted smoothies are my favorite. You can’t beat a pretty pink drink and this one even came with a heart on top. Talk about an RVA Love!
