ONE STYLE LEADS TO ANOTHER: It’s time for another Girls Night Out shopping extravaganza at Boston Center for the Arts, this time presented by Style Fixx. You know the “Triple S” deal by now: Shop 55 designers and brands at discounted prices; sip cocktails as you go; and swag bags are taken home. Add to the mix minifacials by Hands in Motion, hair treatments by G2O Salon and minimanicures from Wet Paint Nail Salon. It’s billed as “everything a girl wants,” and who are we to argue? Wednesday and Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m., 539 Tremont St., (South End); $30, stylefixx.com.

IT CAME FROM THE ’80S: It’s October, so the dress-up events have officially begun. Hurricane O’Reilly’s at North Station gets it started on Friday with its “Back to the ’80s Prom,” where we’ll party like it’s 1989. The dress code is simple: ’80s attire only, from risky business icons to material girl fashion plates to the ’87 prom king and queen of Malden High School. Break out the pink scrunchie and peg those Z. Cavariccis, because like the ozone layer, the ’80s truly never went away. Friday, 8 p.m., 150 Canal St., North Station; $5, 617-722-0161.
