Ah New York – the land of fast walkers, straight talkers, and FASHION! I’m quite happy living in San Francisco, but every year, around September, I get a little heartsick thinking of what I’m missing – Fashion’s Night Out, of course! I know there are FNO events around the country, but let’s be honest, NY FNO is where it’s at. Fashion’s Night Out kicks off New York Fashion Week, and is an after-hours celebration where celebrities, shopping, shmoozing, drinking, and live music collide.

September 7th, 2011 Crystal 
You’ve all heard of Minx right? Minxis the go-to manicure for celebrities and fashionistas alike. Minx is a revolutionary film that adheres to nails using heat, instead of chemicals or glue, and lasts up to 4 weeks! So what’s better than a Minx manicure? A Minx manicure designed by the always-cool Marc Jacobs! This year, for Fashion’s Night Out, Marc by Marc Jacobs will be giving away custom Minx nails with any Marc Jacobs purchase at Saks New York Fashion’s Night Out Event, Bloomingdales Soho Lucky Magazine Event, and Bloomingdales 59th Street Grand Reopening Event. Famed New York celebrity nail stylist Lisa Logan will be offering professional applications.
Sadly, I’m in SF, so if anyone can get me a pack of these babies, I will be forever indebted to you! 
The very-exclusive collection comes in five prints based on Marc’s fall collection, two floral prints, and a yellow and black zig-zag that is sure to stop traffic.

It’s that time of the year again – Spa Week! The fall Spa Week event begins next week, which means you’re set to receive unbelievable, luxurious services at a ridiculously cheap price. But some of you aren’t sure yet which service you’d like to get. If you’re undecided, check out our list of the 12 hottest new spa trends, and pick the one that suits your unique needs.
1) Fighting Allergies - Sinus massages, breathe-easy facials and cold & flu bath salts are just a few of the spa services you’ll be seeing this upcoming Spa Week, just in time to soothe your seasonal allergies. Treat your immune system and clear your sinuses in the spa with new treatments using Eucaplyptus, humidifiers and Lymph drainage movements , to name just few of the techniques being used to assist in allergy relief.
2) Bikini Glamour - Vajazzling made its sparkly splash last Spa Week, when bedazzling your bikini became the hot new standard in girly glamour. Other treatments are quickly emerging in its footsteps to pamper your private parts: Bikini/Bum Facials are being offered to give the same attention down there as a esthetician would to your face: toner, extractions and masks included. Also, post-Brazilian waxing rituals such as Airbrush painting and Vattooing are now the latest in vaginal adornment.
