HOLLYWOOD—With companies like Birchbox and Fabletics, it has become easier than ever to bring customized merchandise straight to your doorstep. Now one menswear brand looks to take a more literal approach to that tailor-made concept. Trumaker offers customers a personal fitting session with one of their "Outfitters" at their convenience, then lets them choose from a limited selection of custom fabrics and classic styles — no muss, no fuss. Men who want to look sharp, but hate the traditional retail experience will love this little luxury and what better way for them to get to know the brand than with an event that combines two great things: booze and philanthropy. This Thursday at Ball and Chain (1643 N Cahuenga Blvd), gentleman can bring their previously-loved dress clothes to benefit Chrysalis, an organization that aids low-income and homeless individuals. From 6-9pm, guests will receive $10 in credit towards a Trumaker purchase per item donated (up to $30 off a shirts/blazers or $20 off ready-to-wear lambswool sweaters). Eat (the meatballs here are incredible), drink, and shop for a great cause.

ARTS DISTRICT—We already love The Springs (608 Mateo St) as a destination for making our bodies feel great and our minds at peace with healthful food and juice options, yoga, and wellness treatments but this Wednesday the modern oasis gives us a new reason to bow down in gratitude as they host a Nepal Relief Fundraiser in the wake of the devastating recent earthquakes. From 7am-10pm, The Springs will donate 30% of kitchen sales and 100% of donation-based yoga classes to Nepal. What better excuse to treat yourself than to do so as you contribute aid to others?
