Click here to save 20 percent on everything at Plum Party.

Your dad’s barbecues drew everyone in the neighborhood (and beyond) to your backyard. You made Sweet Sixteens super even before MTV made a show about it. Your college flat was the most happening spot on campus. Now you’re ready to keep the tradition alive…and the party going!

Plum Party is like your own personal party planner, with themes ranging from Mardi Gras to Tea Parties, to the less traditional IRS party and Divorce party (voodoo dolls and chocolate? We’re SO in!). Hit up Plum Party to liven up your table, find favors your guests will never forget, or to satisfy any theme you can come up with. You can also search Gifts to Go for a huge variety of clever party favors and Plum Boutiques for a comprehensive view of everything that’s in stock, from top brands like French Bull (punchy melamine tableware) or Caspari (elegant paper products for the table), many of which don’t have sites of their own.

We Adore: Last chance for Halloween goodies! And whether you’re hosting, guest-ing, or trick-or-treating, here’s the place to shop. If, like us, you prefer to keep the dressing up low key, snap on this black cat costume (a bargain to begin with $7.50, but even cheaper at $6 with your Store Adore discount) and you’re good to go.

We Adore: This scary skull (regularly $6, Store Adore price $4.80) makes an excellent centerpiece.

We Adore: Pick-Your-Nose Party Cups drive guests wild (regularly $8 for a pack of 24, Store Adore price $6)

We Adore: If we could throw any party, we would throw an “Icons” party, and serve cake on these cool Andy Warhol/Marilyn Monroe square plates (regularly $18 for a set of 4, Store Adore price $14).

We Adore: It isn’t too early to make your election night plans. Why not invite a few friends over to sit around the TV and play amateur pundit? Order in pizza and eat off of these paper dinner plates (regularly $5 for a set of 8, Store Adore price $4).

Discount of the Week: Save 20% on Everything at Darling (New York)

Picture this: the Mad Hatter and the March Hare are sitting at a rather large table underneath a tree. Doormouse is there, too—fast asleep. You sit down at one of the sundry vacant armchairs when someone bellows “You can’t sit there! There’s no room!”

In this strange place you’ve found yourself in, things may not always make sense. But one’s thing’s always certain—you look positively darling. Probably because you paid a visit to New York’s West Village boutique Darling, where the girliest of girls can find a Wonderland of sweet dresses for every occasion…even imaginary tea parties.

Unique in a neighborhood (nay, city) where posh doesn’t come cheap, this boutique, full of reasonably-priced finds, is a haven for gals who love to play dress-up but can’t afford to go all out. Though the shop carries jewelry, tees, pants and plenty of flirty tops in silks and daring prints, Darling’s dress collection is the thing to beat. The first floor of the duplex space is stuffed to burst with daytime frocks in diverse but universally feminine cuts, from floral silk kimonos in springtime to fitted wool babydolls for when the cold weather arrives. Hit the downstairs if you’ve got a holiday party, first date at the Waverly Inn or tickets to the Met.

Who knows what you’ll discover in the 500-square-foot, fully manicured garden—perfect for hosting a shopping soiree with friends old and new.

What’s curiouser and curiouser is that Store Adore Shoppers save 20 on any purchase at Darling.

Head-to-toe green can mean one of two things: either you’re dressing up as Kermit the Frog for Halloween, or you’re treating yourself to a shopping spree at chic online and Newburyport-based eco-boutique The Studio.

Owned by jewelry designer Kim Gobbi, The Studio is the first shop in the North Shore to promote eco-friendly styles from indie designers. The boutique carries clothing, jewelry, handbags and shoes from a mix of well-favorites, including Foley + Corinna’s City Tote, Orla Kiely’s oilcloth bags, Prairie Underground’s ruched hoodie sweatshirts and Del Forte organic denim, as well as dresses by undiscovered talents like Modaspia out of San Francisco and Myth & Ritual out of NYC. Some of the clothing and accessories are available online, and you can browse the blog for detailed photos and regular updates on what has recently arrived in-store.

We Adore: This shiny laminated Boulevard Shoulder Bag from Orla Kiely is perfect for those grab-and-go Monday mornings (regularly $168, Store Adore price $134)

Discount of the Week: Save 20% at Full Circle Studio

Sure, you should be able to interchange every pendant and charm you collect with every chain you own, but it never seems to work out that way. Indeed, a perfect fit, unless you bought the charm and chain together, is rare. Enter Dara Adams, whose Sterling, VA. company Full Circle Studio came up with the brilliant idea of a little toggle bar and loop that lets you swap out a near-infinite number of charms on a single, all-purpose chain. The concept is simple: choose a chain (there are silver, gold and leather varieties), then choose a charm (you’ll find about a hundred to choose from at any given time, from the simple to the ornate, in materials we love like crystal and vermeil). There are ’literally thousands” of charms waiting in the wings, according to Adams, and as soon as one model sells out (there are only two or three of any given charm), new designs appear in her online store.

We Adore: The rough-hewn cut of the stone on this citrine drop pendant is counterbalanced by its opulent shimmer regularly $28, Store Adore price $22).

We Adore: We’re captivated by the peacock beads on this freshwater pearl and cracked glass drop necklace (regularly $24, Store Adore price $19)
