We've got our own tried-and-tested formula for cementing your "babe for life" status in a guy's mind — nailing the balance between flirty and friendly, being supportive but not smothering, rocking your independence while simultaneously cherishing togetherness. (We know — it sounds easy, but it can be tough.) However, this is another way to boost your rep: choosing thoughtful, well-crafted tokens of your affection. And this weekend, you can take your pick from a bounty of 'em.
On Saturday, head to the Georgetown Brooks Brothers outpost to shop the entire Red Wing Heritage shoe collection in one place. Whether your guy is on the hunt for autumn-approved suede chukkas or a classic dress boot, you're bound to find something he'll love. An added perk? The revered footwear brand teamed up with Brooks Brothers to create a limited-edition work boot that's perfect for any special guy on your (very ahead-of-schedule) holiday shopping list. The boot, known simply as "style number 4553," combines the company's familiar silhouette with Halley Stevensons tartan plaid oilcloth, and we can definitely see it fitting in nicely with a Washington man's casual wardrobe (especially if he's hanging out with a stylish gal like you).
When: Saturday, October 20, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
