Cat House – VIP Club

The early alarm. Your boss after the weekend… not exactly reasons to look forward to Mondays. You know you have to do it, but still.

Dance it away, diva. To forget your boss, all you need is the sexy vibe of an intimate, VIP only club. It’s called Cat House.

Primal. Animalistic. You’ve acted professional all day, so it’s time to go downstairs—literally. This Hollywood nightclub just unveiled its secret downstairs sister, and she only opens her doors only once a week. Located at 6231 Selma Ave.

Fashion’s Night Out

Every September, you = bi-coastal envy. Fashion Week on TV? So not the same.

Not this year. It’s the pre-Fashion Week shop fest.

You may be across the country from the fall fashion capital, but Vogue doesn’t go nationwide for nothing. Someone needs to usher in Fashion Week in the style it deserves—even more than last year (did you see the Bev Center last year?)

You know you have to do it, diva. It’s only the second year, but you already know Fashion’s Night Out always makes the iCal.

Social Diva Podcast Beach Front Bliss

Svelte, sexy, ultra smooth… are we talking about you in a swimsuit?

Well, yes, diva. Of course—and no.

But calm down, pretty! Lean that tan torso back on the davenport, and take in the water front view. We know as well as you do that nothing compliments that beautiful beach house better than you, which is why our latest podcast is made to compliment nothing else better than your summer time share.

TruckIt Fest

Call it a product of the times. As in, time = money, but a diva does nothing but gourmet.

Food trucks, anyone? Oh you’ve dug it—and dug in those stilettos for a fast strut across the street when they’re around.  Gotta make sure they don’t get away.

Well now you and the rest of your power lunchers can find all of the best food trucks parked in one sweet spot. Hello, Gourmet Music Carnival. And thanks, TruckIt Fest.

LA Absolut Swim Bar at the Mondrian Hotel Sky Bar

Fall collections are already overflowing your inbox… and it’s about time! Divas do summer, but divas LOVE high fashion.

Still, but your itsy bitsy bikini (and ready-to-bare-for-the-beach body) needs more action before you’ll allow summer to end.

That’s why the pool party gods have answered your prayers.

Yoga at Runyon Canyon

Your work day is done (FINALLY!), and you promised yourself you’d head straight to the gym to work off your power lunch (two martinis, why not?). Only problem is, it’s gorgeous out, and a third martini in the sun doesn’t sound so bad…

Gym?

Or happy hour?

Gym?

… Okay, you’ll compromise. Besides, you love Runyon Canyon.

Art Rebel – Zen Art Classes

Who: We already know you look LuLu-icious in yoga pants, but can you strut a smock?
