Spend Wisely

(NEW YORK) Once again, it's time for Lucky Shops, and the festivities will kick off on Thursday. Leighton Meester will host the opening party along with Alexandra and Theodora Richards, Jessica Szohr, Kelly Rutherford and Maggie Rizer. On First-Dibs Friday and Shop-a-Thon Saturday at the Metropolitan Pavillion, Lucky Shops will be open to the public, where the retail-inclined will enjoy up to 70% off brands like Vena Cava and Jill Stuart clothing, Bing Bang jewelry, Botkier bags and Earnest Sewn jeans. On the bar front, both Benefit Cosmetics and Lucky Brand will have product to spare. The Robin Hood boutique will feature gently used and one-of-a-kind items from the likes of Carolina Herrera, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Marchesa, Miu Miu and more. Sales will benefit Robin Hood, a non-profit organization that applys investment principles to charitable giving and supports the most effective poverty-fighting programs in New York.
