BACK BAY/CHESTNUT HILL—It's a big weekend for Calypso St. Barth, having just opening a new store at The Street in Chestnut Hill, but also because this weekend is its Calypso Cares program. The retailer partnered with nonprofit Covenant House (serving homeless youth nationwide) to collect gently-worn sweaters in exchange for 20% off a new one through Sunday, November 17, at both the Back Bay and new Chestnut Hill stores. Tomorrow from noon to 3pm, join blogger/interior designer Erin Gates of Elements of Style at the Newbury Street store for a soiree commemorating the partnership. [Racked Inbox]
