The Dressing Room

It is without question that women are the superior sex...just think of all the fun we have that men miss out on! Shoe shopping, handbag collecting, jewelery curating...and that's just the clothes! My shelves upon shelves of lipsticks, eyeshadows, creams and exfoliators are a testament of the other goodies we are privy too. Thank goodness I was born a girl because without all these rituals I would be lost and incomplete wandering through the big, bad world. Yet another reason to celebrate our double X chromosomes?!

TopShop's Dressing Room event going on now thru the 21st at their NYC Soho store from 1-7pm daily. This beauty and fashion extravaganza gives you a much needed mini-vaca from the holiday shopping and prepping minefield. After all your hands need a break from all the credit card swiping, your hair needs to be coiffed from the deshabille mall mess and your feet need to be elevated while your parches lips enjoy some refreshing coconut water! So book an appointment for a beauty revamp. Let John Freida stylists style your hair as you get a manicure from M2M nail specialists. With polish names like First Lady and Glam Slam your nails will be well taken care of just like all the celebs (M2M is founded by the go-to A-list star manicurist, Myrdith Leon-McCormack)! I'm a huge fan of her ever-popular green shade appropriately called Dirty Sexy Money. And if that's not enough stylists are on hand to help pull together outfits for all the big party nights ahead. This event is complimentary but guests are invited to make a $5 donation to the Lower East Side Girls Club. So go ahead treat yourself and book an appointment, after all you need a break before all the family drama...err holiday get togethers!

Usage tip: To make an appointment call 212-966-9455 or email broadwaydressingroom@topshop.com. Spaces are limited so reserve now.

The result: A holiday present for the most important person in your life...YOU!
