san francisco | fashion + beauty picks.

if you're sick of strutting the street sweeper and being 2009's cleaning lady, lush up and become a russian spy with these fly fashion + beauty picks.

still my heart.

you've spent the last two months in a frenzy. it's time you were ushered into sainthood. clarification. it's time you experienced the st. regis remede spa stillness ritual. get holier than thou with a thirty minute bath of fragrant herbs and oils. soak it all in and finish up with a heavenly swedish massage and some cranial work. now, back to life as a divine being. 125 3rd street. at mission. 415.284.4000.

street sweeper.

ready for a new kind of street style?check out the just-launched elyria sterling temple street collection—a nod a one of the hippest streets in hong kong. the more than meets the eye designs feature baroque chinese freshwater pearls, white sapphires, and sleek silver silhouettes. you love the east meets west of it all, and thin, stackable rings are a must. it's time you got street smart. available at www.elyriasterling.com

cleaning lady.

forget spring cleaning. start early with a hotel healdsburg winter cleansing spa package. how to disinfect your being? start with a dry brush scrub before a detoxifying seaweed wrap. farewell, vodka toxins. and nothing says spotless like a soak, a rub and a cran and pom facial. you don't have to be maid in manhattan to get that glow. at hotel healdsburg. 25 matheson street. healdsburg. 800.889.7188.

     

russian spy.

boris and natasha were your first fave power couple. pay homage to the devious duo in the new alexander wang natasha pump. you'd be mad not to. sure you're not running after a nemesis. you'll be the one being trailed. you should know python stamped platforms always get the guy, dollink. available at barneys new york. 77 o'farrell street. at stockton. 415.268.3500.

lush up.

you like that feeling of belonging (and, admit it, exclusivity). lucky for your tootsies (and paws), this month marks the launch of passport de lush at lush life nail bar. it's basically a gym membership for your nails. get the "jet setter" package if you're a planner or a "day tripper" if you can't fully commit. either way, one flat rate gets you manis and pedis galore, retail discounts, and more. 3108 fillmore street. at filbert. 415.776.5874.

     

medi-care.

you're not talking healthcare this week. sheesh. you're talking total body care by way of aqua di parma bergamotto di clabria body cream. a jar full of that mouth-full will leave you silky smooth. even in the dead of an SF winter. this prod is extra rich and hydrating, so you're getting the best of both worlds. and that scent? only the finest bergamot around. and that's universal. available at neiman marcus. 150 stockton street at geary. 415.362.3900.
