Sneak Peek: Mosaic District.

My neighborhood, Merrifield, has been undergoing some ma-jah changes 

over the last year. While the constant construction noise has been mind-numbing 

I am excited to see this drab, industrial area revamped. A new shopping plaza 

called the Mosaic District opened recently with a plethora of cute shops and 

restaurants; some of which have not opened yet. I decided to scope it out.

The most striking addition to this plaza is Angelika Film Center

which shows both mainstream and independent films.

 The inside of this theatre feels much more like an art gallery than a 

movie theatre. The scale of the building is beautiful and the opulent 

chandelier is certainly a reminder that this is no average movie spot. 

Their menu offers beer, wine, espresso, gourmet popcorn and other noms. 

The best part is that the tickets cost the same as Regal or AMC.

 Here is a photograph of the outside of the film center.

 Did I mention there is a Super Target? I have a bad problem 

of going to Target for toothpaste and leaving with an entire cart 

full of goodies. Oh, you too? Tar-jay, you sassy devil.

 I was pleasantly pleased with the addition of South Moon Under

which specializes in super trendy clothing and accessories.

Currently lusting over this from the store.

 Possibly the best addition is Lou Lou; the mecca for all accessories. 

 Word on the street (literally, the street) is that Urban Outfitters' classy, 

older sister Anthropologie will be opening on Black Friday.

 Last Call Studio by Neiman Marcus is any fashion girls' dream. 

The racks are chock full of designers-galore. From Michael Kors to  

Tory Burch to Vivienne Tam and more. The best part is that these (pricey) 

designers are majorly discounted making them more reasonable.

  These leopard booties were $66.50 after a 30% discount.

The plaza will also be home to Matchbox Vintage Pizza, Cava Mezze 

Grill, Sweetgreen, Taylor Gourmet, Cyclone Anaya's, Empire Oyster 

House, and many other fun shops. Come visit, dolls!
