Inspiration gets Frisky

Sterling Silver "Inspirational" Circle Necklace.
Because sometimes inspiration comes from unlikely sources...
This necklace is nothing like your typical inspirational necklace that focuses on boring old love, faith, and hope. Instead, it encourages you to lie, cheat, and steal, which is usually considered unladylike behavior. Read on

Thought Of The Day
"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles." --Audrey Hepburn

GianMarco-Hasta Que Vuelvas Conmigo
Viewing Carolina Herrera from the Sky, the AMEX Skybox that is.
The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2009 has come and gone. To the uninitiated FW is a flurry of running around, pre-parties, shows, running around, and after-parties. Then wake up, nurse a fashion overload hangover and repeat. But amid fashion tempest, the one beacon of calm fashion bliss was the experience of viewing the Carolina Herrera show from the Amex Cardmember Only Skybox in Bryant Park. Carolina Herrera and AMEX create
d the perfect symphony for the collection and the viewing experience. Carolina Herrera's collection was punctuated by Jewel-toned, polished looks in richly textured fabrics. The looks are very polished and buttoned-up. The AmEx space on the other hand was designed by Top Design's Jonathan Adler and hosted by stylist Kate Nobelius. Truly a spectacular combo.

MUST SEE and DVR – ALICE on HBO Latino
Watch if only to listen to the killer soundtrack alone, with music by electronic indie groups Instituto and Au Revoir Simone!
Self Love in 2009
"There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
Carrie Bradshaw
We hereby declare that 2009 is the year of love! But not that selfless free loving of the 1960s; we are taking about a year of self loving!! No not that kind of self loving (what would the nuns think!), but a year for you to enhance, indulge, adore and splurge on that special someone…YOU!!! Lets be honest, with the great depression of 2009 looming, no one else is going to spend on you baby, so you might as well do right by yourself.
As always, we will bring you the best and most luxurious ways to make you a better, happier, more pampered and glamorous you. And lets start NOW!! In January, we at CN headquarters embraced the 5-day Blueprint Cleanse, colonics at SanaVita and Korean body scrubs. And next up, is a 30 day Pilates/yoga challenge at Joschi Body Bodega, shopping for the ultimate chic Nike Sister Gear.
Here's to you loving you!!

Sunday 2/8 - Pisco Sour Day at Yerba Buena
Source: StrongBuzz.com
If all that V-Day planning has you in need of a drink (or ten), spend Sunday celebrating Pisco Sour Day at Yerba Buena (23 Avenue A, between Houston and 2nd Street, (212) 529-2919). This potent Peruvian grape brandy is being spotlighted by resident talented barman Artemio Vasquez who’s mixing up specialties ($12 each) like Boludo "Yerba Mate"— pisco, grapefruit, lime cordials and fresh lemon juice, the classic Pisco Sour—pisco, Angostura bitters, organic egg white and fresh lime juice, and a festive Pisco Punch (that certainly packs a punch)— made with pineapple infused pisco, grapefruit, lime cordials and fresh lemon juice. Be sure to stop by for one… or two, or three.

Going Brazilian

The Hottest Spot South of
When it comes to parties, there's a golden ratio: effort expended to ultimate payoff. A rumored debaucherous brunch might lure you a few blocks away, and a promising underground lounge, farther still. But only the planet's longest, wildest, caipirinha-est stretch of uninterrupted revelry would have you hopping on a 747 south.
Pack your bags, it's time for Carnaval.
There's just one month left until this Brazilian megaparty kicks off—and there's nowhere better to celebrate than
The party really heats up at the lavish nightly bailes—like the black-tie, celeb-studded ball at the legendary Copacabana Palace. For a decidedly more unbuttoned scene, head south for the velvet-rope Baronetti club in Ipanema. And while you pride yourself on your (nightlife) stamina, you'll want a nearby crash pad: Consider the recently opened Fasano, right on Ipanema beach, a Philippe Starck-designed hotel with a rooftop infinity pool, a Michelin-starred, Florence-imported chef in the kitchen and a constant, well-dressed crowd in the Baretto/Londra lounge downstairs.
You may never come back up.

New On DVD - Vicky Christina Barcelona
Woody Allen's screenplay is creditable and Javier Bardem is appealing, but there are two key reasons not to miss Vicky Christina Barcelona now that it's on DVD: the gorgeous sights of Barcelona and the hilarious sounds of a volcanic Penélope Cruz (also gorgeous).
