It’s time to let loose in the name of style and some economic stimuli: Fashion’s Night Out, Los Angeles.

This Friday, September 10, over 300 retailers are staying up past curfew to host shopping block parties citywide.  And how appropriate – this Vogue-sponsored celebration kicks off at the mall.

Red carpet arrivals begin at The Beverly Center at 4 p.m. VIPs, celebrities and LA’s fashion elite will hobnob, watch the runway, and hear from hosts Mayor Villaraigosa and Black Eyed Pea’s will.i.am. In-store promotions will give you plenty of opps to boost the local economy (and your fall wardrobe, hello).

Without Social Diva, your chances of scoring a ticket to the 7:30 p.m. runway show are about as good as getting that brand-new Burberry bomber. But Social Diva’s got your back, so enter to win here.

This may be the only time we recommend loitering at the mall, so remember: Spend irresponsibly.

There’s no question; summer is almost over.  Just ask your extra-thick Vogue.  You love the look of mixed neutrals and nudes (especially with a touch of animal print!), but nothing could be more unforgiving on the figure.  ‘Stay tight and toned’ should have been the slogan for this September issue.

‘Tight and toned’ with a 3-day VIP trial membership, that is! 

Equinox gets it, which is why they’re ready to help you -nox some socks off.  They’ll do your laundry while you work out, and even give you a chilled eucalyptus towel to handle that treadmill healthy glow.  All you need to do is focus on the task at hand – and maybe take a Bootcamp class while you’re at it.  Not only will it make you hot as hell, but you’ll feel totally legit when you rock that military chic.

Word on the street is the full-service spa gives a massage like what, and their Whipped class gets your men whipped in days (admit it, there’s more than one).  Test it for yourself with a 3-day VIP trial membership.  Located in nine locations around LA.

Oh, and apparently, Equinox’s organic juice bar actually makes a liquid detox sound delish.

So are you calling it quits with beauty and the beach?  Never.  But until tourist season is gone, the paparazzi can find you on a chic WeHo rooftop.  You’ll be the one with an aperitif in hand.  

Get a little bit British with other fabulously sophisticates at London West Hollywood.  Every week, this exclusive hotspot will host Wednesday’s at Sunset – a series of nocturnal rendezvous with Hollywood’s elite… hello, champagne toasts to boast about!  Wednesdays through the end of summer from 5 – 11pm @ 1020 N. San Vicente Boulevard.

Tourists not allowed.

Forgiveness!  Now, ready, set, go.

Happiness guru Gabrielle Bernstein knows it’s easy to say and hard to do.  And of course – aren’t most things that important difficult to come by?  But what if this motivational maven told you that you can’t bring the happy back without it?

As it turns out, Gabrielle is telling you.  Or at least, she will be on August 4 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.  You’ll learn about the importance of forgiveness, and then you’ll tear down walls that have held you back and bitter for years.

So mark your iCal, and RSVP here.  Entrance is $20 in advance, and $25 at the door.  Consider it an investment in your present AND your future.  Located at The Wheel of Wellbeing @ 1575 Westwood Blvd #303, 310/477-8833

Dear rocking, ravishing life of freedom – here you come.

Oops!  And then you saw those fab fall Louboutin ankle booties.

Not to worry, dear.  Your trip can wait ‘til 2011.  And when you visit Malibu’s newest wino hotspots, you won’t mind.  Staycations are so in right now.

So grab your drop top, and wrap a scarf around your perfectly-coiffed tresses.  First stop is Rosenthal’s tasting room.  Because nothing’s better than imbibing a flight of Malibu’s finest grapes with an ocean view.  Open from 11-6 Wednesday – Sunday at 26023 Pacific Coast Highway, 310.456.1392

Up for round two?  Slightly inland is Malibu Family Vineyards, open daily 11-6. Enjoy views of the canyon, play horseshoe with your beau and pack a gourmet picnic for two. You’ll be glad you did when you taste their Semler or Saddlerock (or both). Located at 32111 Mulholland Highway in Malibu, 818.889.0120

Just make sure you rock your new Louboutins all day long. You’re in LA, Diva.

Leave it to the professionals, and head to Ford Amphitheater on August 7th for an open-air night of music, mingling and merriment.  Seriously, what’s better than that trio on a warm summer’s night?  

The evening will feature the most talented emerging artists and special guests, including Katharine McPhee, Jon McLaughlin (a Perez Hilton fave) and Sixpence None the Richer, among more. And as if it needed to get better – this fourth annual “Evening of Independence,” produced by Koffeehouse, is for charity!  Oh yes.

Get the hookup — visit Ford Amphitheater for a $10 Social Diva discount by entering promo code MUSICARES.  Tickets sell out quickly, so act fast.

100% of the evening’s net proceeds benefit MusiCares.  Now that’s something to sing about.
