EBAY—Phi was a favorite of fashion girls when it shuttered in early 2010. Today, a reader informs our sister site that seven pairs of the cult label's heels have turned up on eBay. For heels, bids start at 24.95, while boots begin at $39.95. [Racked National]

LOWER EAST SIDE—Here's one potentially interesting last-minute evening plan: a sample sale/party at The Hotel on Rivington. Starting at 7pm and running late into the night, the event includes womenswear from names like Dolce Vita, J Brand, and Walter as well as jewelry starting at $10. And as befits a Friday night shopping extravaganza, you better believe they'll be serving free drinks. [Racked Inbox]
