GOLD COAST—Who's cuter: puppies, or Factor models sporting Armani? You can ogle both—and sip some complimentary cocktails—at the Chosen Man's Best Friend & Factor Felines event tomorrow. At the swanky Public Hotel at 1301 North State Parkway, the event takes place from 6 to 8pm and benefits the Anti-Cruelty Society. Expect models decked in Armani Exchange, a live DJ, a slide show of cuddly creatures in need, and passed canapés. Plus, these raffle prizes are hardly for the birds: you can score everything from a comped night at the Public Hotel to $1,000 cash. No need to call ahead: you can get your paws on the $20 tickets at the door.—Jenny Berg [RackedWire]

LINCOLN PARK—If you're a late-night shopper, you've probably heard that LP's boutiques stay open on the first Thursday of the month—which, if you haven't been keeping track, is the day after tomorrow. This month's extended hours pack an extra punch: Comfort Me Boutique holds an event from 6pm to 9pm complete with wine and styling advice by Styled by Souk. [Chicago Magazine]
