EVERYWHERE—At last, the long-anticipated Simon Doonan elf video has dropped, and it's everything we dreamed it would be. Above, watch Doonan hop around the Barneys office in a green sweatshirt with his ears pulled out of the hood, asking people what they want for the holidays. [Barneys]

GREENPOINT—This Thursday, both Alter stores on Franklin Street will be hosting a Jeffrey Campbell trunk show. We usually think of trunk shows as pop-up opportunities to spend too much money, but Campbell's shoes are always supremely well-priced. Expect to see the full fall/winter line for men and the newest styles from the line for women, and expect to drink champagne while you're shopping. The event runs from 7pm to 10pm, but the shoes will remain in-store through the weekend. [Racked Inbox]
