Some things we love: bargains, kooky fashion outsiders, snooping around other peoples' houses. All three will be on tap this Saturday at a tea party and private shopping event at a gorgeous Boerum Hill brownstone hosted by Karen LaPorte, late of Ouvrez La Porte, the (sadly shuttered) trove of high-end vintage fashions from the 1920s to the 1970s and goods from up-and-coming design talent all over the globe. She'll be selling much of her shop's inventory way below retail. Tea sandwiches and outré style bargains? We love. A $5 cover will be refunded with purchase. 10/25 at 1PM, 193 Dean St. [Hoyt and Bond], 347-351-3738. (We hear a second event may take place on Sunday; call for details.)

          Um, No: Tinsley Mortimer

          Always taking style to the next level, socialite Tinsley Mortimer took the alarming trend of frothy, flowery embellishments and added some extra tiers. The result, alas, is more cake than fashion.
