Kara Lusardi, designer of bobi Clothing, is giving you one! From 7pm to 9pm Wednesday, June 23, Kara will be hosting bobi’s “Sample Sale For a Cause,” where you can buy bobi samples for $20 to $25 while enjoying free cocktails and a bobi gift if you’re one of the first 100 people to arrive, and dancing to music from DJs Josh Madden (brother to Benji and Joel) and Claudine De Sola.

Eva Spa

The sun may be shining in both Los Angeles and New York today, but that doesn’t mean we’re condoning sun-bathing. Luckily, Eve Spa is offering a little help to New Yorkers seeking that sun bronzed look by giving away free St. Tropez leg spray tans. If you plan on bearing more than just your legs, then upgrade to a whole body spray for only $20, which is 60% off the normal purchase price. Also, it’s a great idea to start following @evesalon on twitter as you can be entered into drawings for great giveaways like their most recent that gave free bi-weekly  St. Tropez tans for a whole year (valued at over $1500) to a lucky tweeter. So go get your free legs spray tan and then head to do some shopping for some great shorts and skirts to show off your tan now that spring is finally here!
