Start Gift Shopping While Giving Back At Tonight’s Milly x Publicolor Event

Tonight, fashion brand MILLY is hosting an evening of fall fashion and fun to benefit the organization Publicolor.

Publicolor is a long-term youth development program that engages high-risk students in their education throughout the year, utilizing a continuum of design-based programs that mentor them for success in college, career, and life.

The event will take place this Thursday Nov. 30 from 6-8pm at MILLY Soho, and will entail the unveiling of Milly’s new hand-painted wall installation, designed by Ruth Shuman, and painted by artist Sarah Meyohas, Michelle Smith, and Publicolor’s students.

It’s a chance for you to jumpstart gift shopping while at the same time giving back, as 20 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Publicolor. At the event, you can browse Meyohas’ works and fine jewelry from Dana Bronfman Jewelry. Both excellent options for gifts! The event will also serve light bites and refreshments, while DJ Louie XIV will be bringing the music.

You can RSVP to the event right here.

Trend Report: All-White Outfits For Dîner en Blanc

The pop-up culinary phenomenon Dîner en Blanc returns to New York on August 22 for its 7th year. Over 5,000 guests dressed in white will gather at a fabulous secret location to dine and dance under the stars in a secret location.

The legendary French-inspired secret pop-up dinner party is among the most coveted events of the year, bringing together food lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and fashionistas.

All guests must dress elegantly in head-to-toe white, and that means no ivory, no off-white, and no beige. They state that “originality is always encouraged”, as long as it stays stylish and tasteful. That being said, if you’re lucky enough to join this exclusive event, you are probably searching for a glamorous white-out outfit.

Downtown Magazine put together our top all-white, elegant outfits for the fabulous Dîner en Blanc.

Alexander McQueen De-Manta Fur-Print Clutch Bag, BlackGray

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fur Print De Manta Clutch. $ 540. 

If you live in New York, you are probably torn between two feelings: Should we celebrate the end of the summer season, or sit and cry? If you are leaning towards the “sit and cry” option, it is probably because you have not yet seen these must-have accessories for this winter. It seems that not only will we be trying to warm up, but our wallets will be heating up as well.

Starting with the all-day bag, Balenciaga is the perfect shape. The Padlock in Sheep Fur is functional and will go with you everywhere. Are you going to work and then straight to dinner at The Stanton Social with some friends? It is the perfect model for you!
