The Weekender: The Quest By Hayley Starr Edition
Think you've got itinerary overload? Wait until you check out the back-to-back events taking place this weekend at The Quest by Hayley Starr. Tomorrow evening marks the opening of Lorien Haynes' art exhibit within the walls of the Venice shop.

What a way to recharge and prepare for the year ahead!

The Real Reason Why You Should Be Following Whitney Port On Instagram
We follow Whitney Port on Instagram for a bunch reasons (she's known to snap everything from vacay candids to birthday cake and even words of wisdom), but it's the fact that the designer takes to the app to announce her upcoming sample sales that we love her feed the most. We caught wind of her latest event not from a PR email blast or a BFF's tip, but just by perusing her pics! Head downtown for the discounts on dresses, tops, and skirts tomorrow, and don't forget to follow the Venice dweller, stat!
When: Friday, December 14, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: 833 Spring Street, Room 202 (between East 8th and East 9th streets); no phone.
