Empty your e-shopping carts. F.I.G. Finale is this weekend, remember? You have the whole weekend to shop discounted apparel, accessories, and shoes from some of the most beloved boutiques and local designers in town at up to 75 percent off. Find wares from Abi Ferrin, Forty Five Ten, L.bartlett, V.O.D., Elements, Hemline, Melanie Gayle, Merge, etc. (Full list here.) Make it extra special (and less inhibited) by purchasing tickets to Thursday’s VIP evening, full of cocktails and hosted by Cynthia Smoot of Oh So Cynthia. Tickets range from $10 (one day pass) to $50 (VIP) and can be purchased online or at the door for a couple extra dollars.

On My Love List: Virgins Saints & Angels Dragon Crown

Because I’m obsessed with royal history, because I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman twice in a row when it came out, because I’m just a little (or maybe a lot) Gothic at heart, and for, about, one million other reasons, I love the newest Virgins Saints & Angels collection, inspired by ABC’s Once Upon a Time, at SWAG. The collection full of crystal pendants, ornate hair pins and and combs, and cocktail rings, is elaborate, whimsical, and okay, a tad bit silly. (There are spider cuffs and dagger earrings.) But hand over that Dragon Crown (see above), and I swear I will wear it nonstop. Like, when I’m Swiffering and stuff. (It’s only $450.) If you want to check out the full Once Upon a Time collection and meet the designer, Cheryl Finnegan, head over to SWAG this Thursday, February 7, from 4 pm to 7 pm for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and snapshots of you adorned in these jewels.
