What: Housing Works Thrift Shop Fall Preview Event, Tuesday, Sept. 16
The Lowdown: If you happen to by in the NYC area, tomorrow is the last chance to check out Housing Works Thrift Shop’s famous Fall Preview event, featuring special deals for budget shoppers and high-rollers alike! Every fall, Housing Works Thrift Shops empty their stores and restock them with unbelieveably cool clothes, accessories and home furnishings they’ve been saving up over the summer. Want a first look? Donate $500 and get VIP access, meaning 30 minutes of shopping before the preview officially begins! The final event will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 5-8 p.m., 306 Columbus Ave. (between 74th and 75th). The cost is a $10 donation at the door, and entry is free with the purchase of a Housing Works tote.

What: The next installment of the GO International collection launches on August 31, just in time for the fall. Prices range from $16.99 to $39.99.
What We Say: Vintage romance seems to be the keywords in this collection. The patterns in this collection, like checkers and houndstooth, hearken back to to the past, while the painterly prints are modern and trendy. Pieces like vests, sweater coats, ruffle blouses all have a retro feel. We especially like the risk taken with the corduroy dress, a fabric we don’t see too often. Some of these looks could’ve been seen on the streets of 1960’s London. We’ve chosen our favorite looks and compiled them above, but there are much more to mix and match.
We like The bottom right outfit—it looks like a two-tone dress, but it’s actually two pieces—the shirt is a funnel necked top ($22.99) and the skirt is black and white plaid ($26.99). Which one is your favorite look?
