As you can probably imagine I’ve been to my fair share of spas but I’m embarrassed the say, that past my immediate family, I’ve never done a spa day with the girls. Maybe it’s because I work in the industry, or subliminally consider being pampered my “me” time but if there’s one thing I learned it’s everything it’s cracked up to be in the movies.
It was the calm before the storm backstage at the Erin Fetherston show. Noteworthy were the simple gold striped on a white wash nails painted by Gina Edwards for Kiss.
Channeling a young Kate Moss, Red Door Spa experts led by Woody Michleb gently pulled hair back into a knotted bun to accompany Erin Fetherston’s polished, but youthful collection.
The models looked fresh and rested, thanks to one of my favorite products, Skyn Iceland’s Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels. The skincare brand was backstage at the show and unveiled there limited edition Erin Fetherston packaging.
Further complementing Fetherston’s feminine designs, lead artist Lottie Stannard for Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics created a pretty bronzed look using a combinations of OCC’s PENNYROYAL, TARRED and FEATHERED Colour Pencils on the eyes as well as DUNE Stained Gloss. After preping the skin with OCC’s Tinted Moisturizer and Conceal the team used NEWT Creme Colour Concentrate on the cheeks and highlighted with PRIS Lip Tar. Followed by their LAMENT Tip Tar on the lips and Primer.
Erin’s Fetherston Spring 2015 collection titled “Moonlight and Roses” embodied feminine flair. A garden of floral and butterfly prints and delicate lace permeated her collection. Incorporating the trends we saw this past for spring, she debuted a series of crop tops and high waisted shorts separates. Fetherston added some New York edge to her collection with some black shear organza pieces, including a gorgeous gown with black bodice. As always her whimsical style was crisp and original. Her most memorable look a glistening yellow gown swinging down the runway like a burst of sunshine.
Last week, PC joined the Spa Week team to celebrate Spa Weeks 16th season, which starts today!! Since coming to fruition in 2004 (in just a few spas in New York), Spa Week quickly gained a following for offering their infamous $50 spa treatments at some of the top spas nationwide! Their expansion has made for a very Sweet 16, now being available in hundreds of the fine spas and salons across North America.

Big news for Emily Giffin fans (author of Something Borrowed… you know the movie), she’s releasing a new book, Where We Belong. Emily was at the event signing autographs and mingling with fans.
I had to stop by the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas booth… this season they will be offering a number of treatments including the Spa Week Stress Melter Body Treatment – a 50-minute signature service that features a deep body exfoliation, relaxing aromatherapy body wrap and soothing pressure point scalp massage and their signature Spa Week Facial (50 minutes). And exclusive for SPA WEEK, they are adding the Diamond Tip & Organic Flower Peel Microdermabrasion or Oxygen Blast for an additional $50 ($85 value). Lastly, you can get your feet summer ready, with their 60 minute Magnolia Pedicure, which is also being offered.
I also got the 411 on Keri Glassman’s new Nutritious Life Meals – I’m always looking for a good snap me out of my winter layers and into a bathing suit ready programs. They offer 3 freshly prepared gourmet meals and 2 snacks at your doorstep daily. And what’s so fun about their offering is you can mix and match based on your dietary preference.
And lastly I could pass up some time at the TY KU bar — they are one of my favorite alcohol sponsors of all time. Besides being so fun, their Sake is superb.
