October 30th 2008 by Kelly in Charlottesville, Local Event 10

I was sad yesterday when I heard that Vinegar Hill was closing their doors. The Hook reported that Vinegar Hill was “closing for good.” Then today, The Daily Progress reported that it’s not closing for good, just getting a little update.

Sephora is open! I like Sephora, I can’t think of a non-chain where women buy makeup (Clinque, Maybelline, MAC…) so even though it’s a chain, it’s a fun place to get makeup. Sephora has a little of everything to make you prettier, smell nice, and your skin healthier, very unCharlottesville if you ask […]
