Who doesn’t love a three-day weekend? Occasionally throughout the year, we get to experience that amazing feeling when Sunday impersonates Saturday and we don’t have to dread Monday’s return to the daily grind. Long weekends give us the opportunity to hit up style savvy events from exhibitions to sample sales at Chelsea Market our busy schedules usually don’t allow. Besides bbqing at the beach and scoping out Fleet Week sailors—plan on celebrating your holiday weekend in style at this weekend’s most anticipated, fashion-filled events.
