May 29, 3 to 8 PM. 1626 Wisconsin Ave., NW; 202-338-5398; urbanchiconline.com.

Sample Sale Heaven
Old Town favorite Treat knows that when one door closes, another opens. The store moves to a larger space on Friday, May 29. You’ll still find the same great deals by names such as Foley and Corinna, Nanette Lepore, and Diane von Furstenburg. Also, don’t miss the exclusive opening party, June 4 from 5 to 8 PM, where you’ll enjoy free Champagne, sweets, and special discounts. May 29. 103 S.

Sniff Out a Bargain
Rummage for bargains at the Shoe Hive and Hysteria’s latest collaboration, a sale boutique called the Attic located above Hysteria in Old Town. You’ll find prices of 60 to 80 percent off both stores’ designer merchandise by names such as Tory Burch, Butter, and Marc Jacobs. There’s a catch: You’ll only find these prices on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 6. 125 S. Fairfax St., Alexandria; 703-548-1615.

MooJoo No More
We’re sad to report that U Street’s Moojoo Ken is closing.

Rock the Runway
On June 6, designers take to the runway as part of Flaunt, a fashion-and-photography exhibit at Anacostia’s Honfleur Gallery. Designers such as Dana Greaves, Taimur Baig, Lara Akinsanya, and Will Sharp will debut fashions in a runway show to music by local musicians. Afterward, there will be a chance to purchase designs featured on the runway. 7 PM; $10. Pre-purchase required; call 202-536-8994 or e-mail arts@archdc.org. Honfleur Gallery, 1241 Good Hope Rd., SE; honfleurgallery.com.
