Pool Party!
The weather has finally warmed and the rain has ended . . . at least for today. Celebrate the launch of Dar be Dar swimwear from local designer Tala Raassi.

Terrific Twos

Enjoy cocktails, raffle prizes, gift certificates, and exclusive discounts, plus a special trunk show by Zapphire Designs, a great local brand that uses semi-precious stones to form delicate, feminine pieces. Thursday, June 18. 6 to 9 PM. 3288 M St., NW; 202-333-4690.

Male Madness
Save up to 50 percent at Nordstrom’s half-yearly men’s sale starting on Friday, June 19. Finally, an excuse to get rid of those ripped shorts he’s been sporting since college. June 19 to 28. Visit nordstrom.com for locations.

Spectacular Sale
Starting this weekend, head to Old Town, where you’ll score 30 to 40 percent off all spring merchandise during the blowout Spring into Summer sale at Hysteria and the Shoe Hive.
