EVERYWHERE—Oh look, it's another Obama tie-in. This one is actually pretty cute: Whole Foods is commemorating foodie moments from the campaign with a collection of buttons, at right. As it happens, "Arugula NOW" is our personal motto. [Racked Inbox]

SOHO—Coming this weekend: An L.E.S. sample sale. Organized by neighborhood stalwart Dolce Vita, the sale brings together Honey in the Rough, TG-170, Edith Machinist, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, and Clarabella to the OpenHouse Gallery at 201 Mulberry Street, which, weirdly, is not actually on the Lower East Side. The sale runs Saturday from 11am to 8pm and Sunday from 11am to 7pm. [ClarabellaNYC]
