Normally I’m not big into shopping party sample sales thingies but when I read up on Top Button’s L.A. designer shopping party, it gave me pause. This “more than a sample sale” features some of my favorite things: mini spa treatments (for those who purchase the VIP tickets), goodie bags, and complimentary cocktails (by Blue Ice Vodka, Wyder’s Cider, Peels Beverages and Bacardi Silver). PLUS you get a free one-year subscription to Glamour magazine.

Even better? 60% off stuff from over 75 designers, beauty products, and this event benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

But if you’re not really feeling that $35 VIP ticket ($20 advanced general admission), you can always purchase your ticket through Goldstar Events where it’s $17.50 VIP, $10 general admission with gift bag and free admission with no gift bag.*

I think I actually want to go to this. Hm.

* Service fees apply. ($3.75-$5)

EVENT: THURSDAY, APRIL 26 from 6pm to 9pm (VIP entry 5pm)
