If you've got big plans for Valentine's Day (or you just want to spiff up), Mabel & Zora are gathering a team together to bring you tips on makeup (Event Cosmetics' founder Katherine Sealy), hair (Fada Salon), shopping and styling (Inspire Style), and perfume (40notes) for a champagne and cupcakes-fueled evening of prepping for the big day/life in general. Plus the store is kicking in with 15% off all purchases. I'm as guilty as anyone of falling into habit, and even though it sounds cheesy, it really does pay off to consult with an expert once in a while, Valentine's Day or no Valentine's Day.

It's going down on Thursday, Feb 10, from 3-8 pm.
