Austin
The thing to do this weekend in Austin? Basically hang out at By George for two days straight, because the awesome boutique is throwing a holiday weekend for the books. Get there starting today for a vintage Chanel and Hermes trunk show with treasure hunters What Goes Around Comes Around NYC, plus find totally cool jewelry from the Rebecca Lankford trunk show. Both continue through Sunday, which also happens to be the same day you can sample treats from the Sticky Toffee Pudding Company. Yes, the good just got better.
Locations Vary
Boston
So you want to get in on that National Hot Chocolate Day business (yes, it's today)? Salon Mario Russo has got you covered. Stop by their Newbury Street or Fan Pier shops tonight to sip on the good stuff while getting a holiday hairstyle (think a Sugar and Spice Blow-Dry, a Vixen'n'Glitzen Braid, or Naughty or Nice Ponytail). Even better? They're giving you the gift of free Oribe samples and 25% off when you shop the beauty brand tonight. Hurry and make your appointment before the other beauty queens beat you to it.

Hunting for an ugly sweater to wear to a party is one thing, but buying one to wear for a race? Sounds crazy, but there's an ugly sweater 5K happening this weekend, with thousands of knit-wearing people racing to the finish line. But it makes sense why they're looking so speedy: There's complimentary hot chocolate and beer at the finish line, not to mention a free vintage knit hat to keep them toasty if the drinks don't do it...So yes, we're thinking this
could
be the fastest you've ever run.

Los Angeles
If you ask us, the best holiday parties are the ones with the best live music. That's exactly why you can't miss the Holiday Delight 20-year celebration happening at Swing House Studios tomorrow, where you'll catch live sets by R&B soul pop girls Aija and Jessica Childress, plus alt rock four-piece The Cold And Lovely. As if a live soundtrack packed with major girl power wasn't enough, there will also be grilled cheese served up by The Melt and tasty drinks from Standing Sun Wines. Cheers to that!

Miami
Whether you're looking for a #FlashbackFriday or just some laughs, tonight's Found Footage Festival at O Cinema should hit the spot. Expect screenings of vids found everywhere from vintage shops to trash cans, with footage that dates as far back as the '60s--back when you didn't need Instagram filters to get a perfect glow.
90 NW 29th Street

Going to do some holiday shopping at Urban Outfitters this weekend? Good, because, not only will you get to shop your regular UO faves, but five local designers (like Ivy & Kind and Valentine Valentine) will also be setting up as part of an indie pop-up shop!
