Ever since TRU set shop in 2003 it has wowed over spa-goers with its no-nonsense efficient service in an innovative space.TRU is truly a sublime and serene escape for those hard-pressed for time.

I’ll admit, its not often that a restaurant makes me feel like a bona fide Japanese diplomat, but from Yamashiro’s sweeping views of Los Angeles to the perfectly cooked surf and turf, that mission is accomplished. Perched at a height in the Hollywood hills usually reserved for Lindsay Lohan and her cronies or those brave enough to traverse Runyon Canyon on foot, Yamashiro offers a view that miraculously pierces thick smog even on the haziest of nights. The property is expansive, but one can only wander the zen garden for a limited time before the hostess summons you via remote buzzer to let you know it is time for a “Russian Mule” or “Norm’s Mai-Tai.”

The Wrapadoo was developed in Orange County just a few years ago when Corona del Mar “Mompreneur” Cynthia Saito launched her Wrapadoo “Luxury Collection” in Fall 2009.

Soon, orders followed for acclaimed Salish Lodge & Spa in Seattle and Ceron Salon/Neiman-Marcus in Dallas.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what comes to mind? First is love; and second of course, is chocolate. Los Angeles if filled with outstanding chocolate shops with imports from Switzerland to single origin chocolates from all over the world.

As I step off the elevator of the 9th floor at Bergdorf Goodman at the John Barrett Salon. The views are staggering, stretched out before me is the park, in all of its splendor, the colors of the season lend a calm. I am met with smiles as I approach Parvin, whom has made me a true “Bergdorf Blonde” since 1999, and we exchange the stories of the day. People come to say hello, exchanging kisses, the arduous task of going to the salon melts away, as an espresso is brought to me and we chat as old girlfriends. Parvin’s following is epic, a true Royal to her trade, her clients travel far and wide for her magic touch of color. Whilst Iʼm awaiting my perfect shade of blonde to form, I relax, whilst Joan, Essie, Luda or Lyudmila, shape my manicures and pedicures to perfection; Mauricio is a true genius as he shapes my brows, to the point of nobility, and if there is a party on the horizon for the evening, he delicately applies Le Metitier de Beaute, in soft and sexy hues.

The “riffraff” of New York have a new place to call their own, a jewel-box of a club off of Park and 26th. Rarely is a space this aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Tapestries from Malaysia span wall to ceiling, small touches of elegance are abound, making this not your ordinary boite de nuit

On the busy intersection of Wilshire and Rodeo amidst the mix of celebrities, tourists and cars that bustle by is Bvlgari. The constant flow of pedestrians and gridlocked automotives seem to have polished an architectural diamond in the rough into a multi-dimensional gem in the form of Bvlgari’s sparkling store. When we were given the opportunity to get a tour of this Beverly Hills cultural landmark, ‘extravagance’ was the word of the day.

Some of the greatest moments throughout fashion history have been accompanied by Van Cleef and Arpels.
