Spa Week is Back and Better Then Ever...

Oct 15 2007 - 12:00am
Oct 21 2007 - 11:59pm
Etc/GMT-8

Fall spa week is back, and for one week in October stressed out fashionistas can get pampered for less then a new pair of Rock and Republics. From October 15-21, spas around Manhattan are offering services that will have you relaxed from head to toe for a flat rate of $50. For one week, there has never been a better excuse to treat your body.

Whether you live uptown or downtown, east side or west, there is sure to be a participating spa just minutes from your door. At Red Door, by Elizabeth Arden, $50 gets you one of three 50-minute services ranging from a body melt to a pedicure to a massage. Still not convinced? At Fresh, a hard earned $50 gets you one of two 60-minute facials and even better, complimentary spa week products after each service. Trust me, this is the time to grab your best friend, your unpolished fingers, and call some of New York’s most exclusive spas for a fabulously relaxing time.

Spa week only comes once a season, and this fall, the week is sure to book up fast. Take advantage and make an appointment now, or make it 7 appointments, one for every night of the week… I promise, your body and mind will thank you for it.

YSL and the City

I'm dreaming in black and white.

Yves Saint Laurent's ivory shantung toile de laine tuxedo jacket is smoking! The word on the street is that this gorgeous jacket will make an appearance on Carrie Bradshaw in the upcoming Sex and the City movie. News of the fab four spotted filming in different locales around the city was reported yesterday in the New York Post, along with this Patricia Field-selected number.

At $2570, its a little too luxe for my clothing budget, but I can fantastize, can't I?—Michelle Zaffino


Price: $2570.00

You Can Teach a Young Store New Tricks

It’s no secret that Forever 21 has surpassed “little-sister-only” status and is now a vogue stop on every discount diva’s shopping list. The inexpensive emporium has figured out how to give the people what they want, at prices that we can actually afford - which is what fashion should be about.

The most recent addition to the Forever 21 New York City fam is the SoHo location. I decided to check it out and had to do about a dozen double takes to believe that I was, in fact, actually in a Forever 21. As much as I love the store, there’s usually so much time spent sifting through piles and pushing past teenyboppers that I get fed up easily. Come visit this store before it falls to the same fate! Not only are both levels as chic as a SoHo boutique needs to be, but everything is well-organized and new fall finds are everywhere you look. Some of my favorite pieces in the store were:

Satin Dress $22.80 in Magenta
Wool Jacket $32.80 in Black or Red
Basketweave Hobo Bag $25.80 in Purple or Black

They may all be the same chain, but the new SoHo Forever 21 is worth visiting!

PDT - Please Dont Tell

All right, I’m going to let you in on a secret, but Please Don’t Tell.

There is a great little speak easy that just opened in June called PDT. You enter through a small hot dog joint, walk into an old phone booth, pick up the phone, and voila! A door opens and you’re let into a modern bar with vintage values.

While the fact that it’s a speak easy is cool and the way that you get in is fun, what I was most impressed with at PDT was the staff and the drink selection.

Everyone who works there is friendly and laid back. The bartender actually enjoys figuring out new concoctions and takes the time to talk to his customers. The drinks are old fashioned, many of them containing egg whites and hard to find liquors, such as Creme de Violet, which is featured on the menu in the Silver Lily. If you take the time to look at the bar, they have an array of alcohol you wished you could find when you were flipping through your Savoy Cocktail Book.

If you’re looking for an interesting to place to hang out with friends or if you’re trying to impress a date, head over to PDT.

Tips:

M-Sa, reservations required, taken day of, after 3pm
Sun, walk ins welcome, no standing room

patio out back

cocktails, $12; beer, $7
