Celebrate the arts! Wander around museums like Guggenheim New York, Brooklyn Museum of Art and New York Botanical Gardens and get inspired.
Some of my happiest moments have been spent getting completely swept away by the arts. You never know where inspiration will come from – it might be a melody, a painting, a costume, or even in that quiet moment when the lights dim and the curtain rises. I hope today reminds you just how much beauty there is in the arts…and how lucky we are to share it together. Be sure out my AVLD museum companion online guide to spark inspiration and use promo code AVLD for discounted tickets where applicable at Guggenheim New York and NYBG.

Get dressed up for the theater (or the museum... or your own living room)! Pull out that item from your closet you've been waiting for a special occasion to wear.
Celebrating the arts is all about finding inspiration in and appreciating the beauty all around you…even in your own closet. AVLD is the perfect excuse to wear that special piece you’ve been saving. Pull out the ballet flats, the flouncy skirt, the crisp button-down, or whatever makes you feel like the main character. Opera gloves are always encouraged (but never required)!
Studs is welcoming all the Lauvers to celebrate A Very Laufey Day! Bring a friend and get 50% off your piercing fee. Cannot be combined with other offer. Each store will be giving away a limited-supply of AVLD totes with goodies, including a AVLD sticker sheet, while supplies last.
