[Your daily vitamin of] Everything That's Vital...For NY & LA

Need to get your base tan on before your trip?

My big birthday party is coming up in Harbour Island soon with 28 of the chicest people i know, im super psyched about it so, obviously need to get my base tan on.  I checked out the new beach bum tanning salon that opened up on 7th avenue between 23rd and 24th streets and I almost died it was so amazing! Clearly, i havent been kept up to date on the latest in tanning technology.  My favorite bed? The "Angel machine" which literally scans the melatonin levels on your face and body and customizes a tan for you.  20 minutes later i came out looking golden brown and feeling great.  Getting my base tan on never felt better!

Cant gift wrap? No problem!

Its holiday season, and i cant gift wrap at all.  Ive just never (like most men) mastered the art of it.  If i have to gift wrap something ill take it to Kates Paperie in NYC and pay them to do it.  I've found these "boxwood" gift boxes, though, and am totally obsessed with them! They are super masculine, and soooo chic.  No gift wrapping required when you put your gift in these!

Cold winter nights...

I was shocked that i found this at west elm as i really never go in there, but when i saw these comfy cable knit blankets to toss on the couch i couldnt resist! Theyre great and so not expensive.  Whats better than snuggling on a couch on a cold, grey winter day (even better with the blanket and someone else snuggling with you!)

Enjoy!
