As winter finally begins to thaw, usher in the arrival of Spring with style and generosity by checking out some of the many exciting charitable galas and parties of the season! This list highlights some of the most promising celebrations of the season, hosted by some of the world’s greatest charities, so be sure to find yourself partying for a cause this spring!

What’s better than shopping your favorite brands, locally, in the city? Shopping your favorite brands at a brand spanking new retail space, of course! We’ve rounded up details on the latest new ventures, each bringing their own unique flair to various Manhattan neighborhoods. Crisp and clean, fresh and new, we guarantee these stores to be worth the trek around town.
Lacoste, a brand synonymous with preppy chic, brings their niche to a new market with a brand new store opening in Soho mall. The 4,700 square-foot space opened this past weekend featuring men’s, women’s, and children’s lines and the most extensive footwear assortment in the country. The “Croc’s new look downtown” is slightly less institutional and a bit more historical behind the cast iron fronted location. Colorful contemporary collections and accessories are plentiful; a 180-degree turnaround from the Footlocker that previously occupied the address. Located on one of the most trafficked streets in New York, the newest venture is expected to rank among the brand’s highest-grossing stores per square foot. The streamlined shopping experience at Lacoste remains and despite our appreciation, we’ve concluded OCD must be a requirement to work there.

Sephora beauty guru tells us what we must have:

We have all seen the bright beauty looks of the Spring/Summer catwalks, and have found Derek Lam’s coral eye to be particularly envy inducing. But can we wear it during the day without looking a little freaky?
Derek Lam used a combination of orange and coral shadow close to the upper lid, accented with stripes of iridescent white highlighter, to achieve this high fashion look. The face was kept neutral, with no more than a nude lip to complement. To replicate this look for daytime, lightly shade in the brows and apply a neutral beige shadow from lid to brow. Next, take a thin angled brush, and wet and dip into a sparkling salmon shadow such as Mac 'Neo Orange' Pigment. Apply in a thin line above the upper lash line and finish with a coat of black mascara. As with Lam’s models, keep the face neutral and clean. Just a touch of coral blush such as Benefit’s 'Coralista' combined with a nude lip such as Mac's 'Myth' completes the look.
Come one, come all to the first ever Wine on the Water festival hosted at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino. Not only is this event full of food, wine and live music (provided by Jeff Jones & Friends) but 100% of the proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe.
The festivities run from 1 pm to 5 pm on Sunday August 29 with a silent auction somewhere in between.

All the wine from the event will come from the many acclaimed Northern California wineries and later there is even a chance to take a bottle home in the silent auction (other gifts include dinners and gift certificates).
