While you're there, make sure to check out what's on offer from Duo NYC and Helen Levi, too.

UPPER EAST SIDE—Pregame the Park Avenue Tree Lighting this Sunday from 4pm to 6pm at J. McLaughlin (1311 Madison Ave). Sip on some bubbles while shopping the latest collection at 15% off, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting The Fund for Park Avenue.

CHELSEA—It might not be cold yet, but it's going to be soon, so get a leg up on winter boots this weekend at Sorel (345 W 14th St) store. Not only will a portion of proceeds benefit Girls Inc. on both Saturday and Sunday, but you'll also be served complimentary hot chocolate while scoping out the latest collection.
