Choose from these special Valentine's Day Treatments for Feb:

Chocolate Indulgence Body Wrap: This nourishing treatment begins with an application of aromatic Chocolate Crème Mineral Mask; rich in anti-oxidants and nourishing essential oils.

This indulging experience boosts moisture levels leaving your skin silky smooth. A truly decadent treat! (50 min $99, 80min $120)

Strawberry Champagne Facial: The face is gently cleansed, exfoliated and massaged with a custom blended strawberry serum before a hydrating strawberry champagne mask is applied. Ingredient rich strawberries help to tone and keep the skin smooth and supple. (50 min $99, 80min $120)

DesignScene iPad App

If you long for design inspiration and have an iPad, pick up this new app called DesignScene. (Watch the trailer on the homepage!) It's a real-time inspiration app that is visual! That's right, now you can surf visually through curated sources that cover everything from art to architecture, illustration to fashion, and photography to typography. The $3.99 app was created by Roger Wong and David Wheeler of Lunar/Theory. Roger is a friend and former design colleague. We worked together for many years and his design taste is one that I admire. It's no wonder that the app is more addictive than reading my own text-heavy Google Reader. Who needs text when you can move from image to image with ease and constant inspiration? It's the best way to enjoy your morning coffee I tell you!

The interface is easy to use and instantly brings you beautiful photos and text stories to read. (Photos from 50+ sites and text feeds from 30+ sites.) You can set up how often the stories refresh with a sliding scale that goes from every 5 min to 4 hours. (I set mine to every 30 min.) Add in your Twitter handle and Facebook login and you can tweet and Facebook stories you love to your friends. You can also share links via email too! Get your DesignScene app, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy a new way to get information and read the design stories of the moment.

Kate Moss for Vogue Eyewear Behind the Scenes

(Photos: Mario Testino / WWD)

Kate Moss is one of my big style icons and I love this behind the scenes action of her photoshoot with photographer Mario Testino for an upcoming Vogue Eyewear campaign that was shot last September. No wonder she's been spotted these last few months with these oh so stylish sunglasses. WWD reports that the ads will be revealed on the Vogue Eyewear site next week. I love the black frame glasses she's wearing in addition to all the stylish sunglasses!

Here's the behind the scenes video and some of my favorite photos from the shoot:

It's not a Birkin, but I can take it to Whole Foods

If you long for a Birkin but can't afford the crazy 10K+ price tag, the NY Times points to The Together Bag ($35) by Thursday Friday. Each tote is screen-printed to look like a Hermes Birkin bag. I love that they actually print the tote on all sides, even the bottom. Carry around your groceries, gym clothes, books, or craft projects with a bit of fashion humor – at a steal of a price. According to the NY Times there's already a 3 month waiting list for these totes so order it now if you want one. The Birkin images come in red, blue, and camel shown below. Truly an eco-friendly fashion statement!

Oh and I actually did see a woman with her Birkin in her shopping cart at Mollie Stone's in San Francisco a couple of months ago. Go figure!
