An event that features champagne, clothes and charity, too.

Shopping for a good cause? If you ask us, that seems like a fabulous excuse to pop out the credit card (and the bubbly). Next Thursday, May 16 (from 5 to 8 p.m.), Kimpton‘s Seattle hotels host the sixth annual “Girls Gone Glam” shopping extravaganza. The event benefits Dress for Success, a nonprofit that helps disadvantaged women thrive in the workplace by providing business attire and career development and retention skills.

At Girls Gone Glam, guests enjoy champagne and appetizers from the Library Bistro’s new chef Chris Lobkovich while browsing booths set up by some of the city’s trendiest boutiques, from Gidgette Bardot and GlamSpoon to Orange Box Jewelry and Pandemonium Hats. They’ll also find lip readings from Sheila the psychic, blowouts from Swink Style Bar, brow sugaring by Sugarplum and massages from Chroma Salon and Spa.

Tickets for the event, held at Alexis Hotel 1007 First Ave. (at Madison), cost $25 in advance or $30 at the door and include cocktails, small bites, a raffle ticket (to wins trips to New York and San Francisco or stays at nationwide Kimpton hotels) and free valet (upon availability). Shop on!
