Swing by on Thursday and Saturday for shopping deals and fun treats.

Charlotte Free for United Colors of Benetton's spring campaign.

Not busy tonight? Now you are. Two fab shopping events kick off tonight in Georgetown and Tysons Corner, with more this weekend.

In the District: Georgetown’s United Colors of Benetton celebrates its colorful spring collection and all things pink tonight at its Pink Party. Swing by the M Street store for rosy refreshments, a style consultation from Spendalla stylist Wendy Pilch, and $25 off purchases of $200 and up. And finally: Instagram some shots of yourself in Benetton duds and tag them #BeYourSelfie to enter the brand’s contest. The grand prize? A $300 shopping spree. Thursday, 7 to 9 PM. 1200 Wisconsin Ave., NW.

In Virginia: Head to Tysons Corner for C. Wonder’s Spring Fling event, where the prep-perfect store offers up free treats and beverages, plus raffle prizes and shopping discounts—snag 20 percent off purchases of $100, and 25 percent off $150-plus. Thursday, 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Tysons Corner Center.

Hopefully you already scored your tickets for Gilt City’s Warehouse Sale. But if you missed that luxe-for-less boat, not to worry—we’ve got you covered with two more awesome Saturday shopping events:

In Maryland: Join Politics of Pretty beauty blogger Kara Manos as she hosts a shopping party at the Last Call by Neiman Marcus location in Rockville, where she’s picked out her spring must-haves.
