October's Got it All

Fall festival weekends, spooky season staples, and everything in between, every bit of October deserves to be done right. Whether you’re putting together a Halloween look, refreshing your fall rotation, or making a little more time for yourself , it’s all waiting for you in one place.

Halloween Headquarters

Whether you’re going all out or throwing something together last-minute, the perfect costume starts here. Head to Spirit Halloween for full costumes, accessories, and everything spooky in between, or DIY your own look with pieces from Michael’s and Rainbow. Getting the house ready, too? Stock up on candy and treat-bag basics at Candy King Cotton Candy Vending, and grab a costume for the little ones while you’re at it. However you’re celebrating this year, Alexandria Mall has you covered from the porch to the costume.

The Fall Refresh, Piece by Piece

This season’s all about a little more personality in the everyday: leopard print accents, statement earrings, chunky knits, and plaid in richer, deeper colorways than your usual fall rotation. Find leopard-print scarves and accessories at Dillard’s, grab a pair of standout earrings or a layered necklace at Claire’s, and stock up on plaid flannels and cozy knits at American Eagle. Pairing a blazer with your favorite jeans is also an easy way to dress up a casual look without overthinking it.

Slow Down October

Somewhere between the costumes and the countdown to the holidays, it’s worth carving out a little time for yourself. Book something at Relax Zone or California Nails, pick up a skincare refresh at Ulta Beauty, and unwind with a favorite drink or snack from Auntie Anne’s. No agenda, just a little time back for you.

Where to Shop

However you’re spending it, October is easy to fall in love with. Grab a costume, catch a festival, stock up on fall flavors, or cozy up the house for the season ahead…Alexandria Mall is the easiest place to check it all off. Whether you’re planning ahead or just soaking up the crisp weather, there’s always one more stop worth making. Come for one thing, stay for a few more.
