Yup, yet another girly thing to do. Sorry, guys. But Fashion Co-Op Girls’ Night Out sounds like too much fun. Not only do shoppers get first pick of all the 40-80% discounted handbags, jewelry, and women’s clothing from 120 emerging fashion designers at this VIP event, but they can sample vino from 10 wineries (uh…

Peponi Nail Lounge: Happy Hour Mani and Martinis
Dre was the one who told me about Peponi Nail and Skin Care Lounge‘s special happy hour on Thursdays where you can get a salon manicure and two martinis for only $20. That’s quite a deal considering specialty cocktails are about $11+ on average. And with pretty nails to boot? Nifty! Naturally I had to…
Vanity Room Summer Clearance Sale
My favorite clothes store for a last-minute party frock is having a big sale. Selected items are marked down to 50% off at the Vanity Room. Woo hoo! Considering that I was able to find a great dress for my very own birthday party at Seven Grand which evoked the festive ’60s Rat Pack vibe…
Goorin Brothers: Mama's Got a Brand New Hat
Usually when I vacation in another city, I opt for fashionable items instead of touristy tchotckes as souveniers. That way I have something unique to show off when cruising around back home instead of something that I throw into the memory box under my bed. So I was really excited when I came across the…
This Weekend: Awesome Mix Tape of Fun
What with my birthday party and DJ Shadow at the Bowl this weekend, it’s going to be a helluva good time. Unfortunately for me, there are soo many other fun things going on, too, that I’ll have to miss cuz of my previous plans. But if for some reason you’re free, you might want to…
This Weekend: Mmm, Beeeer…Mmm, Meat
Frick! I didn’t mail off a Father’s Day card for my dad yet! If he lived here, I could probably have made it up to him by taking him to one of the following events (well, maybe not the Lucky’s sale). But as it is, I’ll just hope that he won’t guilt me too much….
The Warehouse Sale: Premium Denim 80% Off
So the Warehouse Sale is having another “You Can’t Afford To Miss This Sale” sale where “high-end designer jeans” for men and women are discounted up to 80% off. A stylish co-worker of mine, and shopper of these sales, had told me that although TWS claims to have brands like Seven Jeans, she didn’t see…
Vanity Room: Suiting My Higher Fashion Sense
I found the most darling clothing store ever! OK, I didn’t find it. I had actually driven past the Vanity Room on Washington Boulevard several times on my way to In N Out when I used to live in Mar Vista but never stopped by because it looked like one of those expensive boutiquey stores…
Beauty on the Cheap: $50 Spa Treatments
Flickr Shot by Wellcome to Darkman’s world (detail) It’s that time of year when you gotta start thinking of coming out of your dull winter skin. Too bad that usually means taking a pumice stone to your heels since spa treatments cost so darn much. Fortunately, Spa Week is here again where you can get…
Santa Monica Planet Blue's Annual 50% Off Storewide Sale
OK, I was really conflicted about posting this especially since I have sworn this store off but I figured a 50% storewide sale off designer goods is always newsworthy. So, yeah, the huge (three times bigger than paparazzi stakeout location, the Malibu PU) Santa Monica Planet Blue is having a two-day sale on its entire…
