Hate to break it to you, but the week-in-week-out wardrobe routine of Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, et al is getting pretty dull. Clothing connoisseurs will want to clear their schedules tonight for Gen Art’s Shopping Spree featuring buzz-worthy, up-and-coming designers. Bliss Lau’s uniquely shaped bags, luxe beaded tanks from Wifebeader, delicate semiprecious earrings from Double Happiness and much more will be marked down 25%-50%. Need further incentive for the $15 ticket? (It’s $20 at the door.) Free Beck’s beer and Perrier all around, plus makeup applications by Stila.

De Beers is celebrating the grand opening of its first U.S. flagship, and with it comes the unveiling of the unreal Millennium Star diamond. It’s an extraordinary rock, cut to perfect pear-shaped proportions, which weighs in at more than 200 flawless carats. Those who aren’t privy to gazing at the priceless ice during tonight’s bash can still drop their trust funds on the company’s exquisite collection of earrings, necklaces and bracelets afterward.
