Beach Week Day 1: St. Barth

On Our Radar: Coachella
It may be 77 days away, but the new A|X Armani Exchange ads put Coachella on our minds. The legendary music festival that takes place near Palm Springs, California was the inspiration for the spring ad campaign. “The aesthetic of the A|X Spring 2011 Collection was conceived around casual but sophisticated style and the modern influence of season-less, festival-chic dressing. The emphasis was not on major seasonal shifts but instead on creating looks that possess an overall truthfulness,” said Kate Lanphear, Elle's style director who styled the ads. The photos were shot at the Empire Polo Fields, where the festival takes place.
This year's Coachella festival kicks off on April 15 with Kings of Leon, the Black Keys and ends on April 17 with headliners Duran Duran and Kayne West. Check out Coachella.com for more details.
Jetsetter's Super Bowl Package
Congrats to the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers for making it to the Super Bowl! If you're a die hard fan and want to go to the game, there's still time to buy one of Jetsetter's Super Bowl package.
Included are tickets for two to the big game, 3-nights at the InterContinental Dallas, various parties and transportation to Cowboy's Stadium. Prices start at $7,900 for two. Better hurry--the sale closes Friday night. Available on Jetsetter.
Special Rates for the Palazzo and Venetian
We had such a great time at the Palazzo for Anne's bachelorette that we're tempted to go back by the special Internet rates starting at only $129/night. Sure there are plenty of new places opening all the time in Vegas; but what we love most about the Palazzo and the Venetian is their location right in the middle of everything on the strip, the Canyon Ranch Spa, the over sized rooms and the great restaurants and clubs like Tao and Lavo on site. Book your room by January 31st and use the code EPOXJAN.

Jennifer Aniston's Favorite Vacation Spot
"It's Anguilla in the Caribbean. It's just very far, not that easy to hop on a plane and go. I love the ability to really relax. Even if I'm just sitting in my house, I still have work, whether it's dealing with a production company or future project. What I love is the ocean. I hear it and go calm. It allows you to truly refuel."We're betting Aniston rents a private villa when she goes, though the Viceory Anguilla is pretty spectacular.

Enter to Win a Trip to the Birthplace of Kahlua in Mexico
When it comes time to reconnecting with friends and loved ones, more Americans prefer a night in, according to a recent survey sponsored by Kahlua. But if you're going to stay in, you have to have something good to talk about, along with good food and drinks. To help with the first part, Kahlua is sponsoring a Delicioso Night In sweepstakes where those who commit to staying in with friends one night a month are entered to win a one night trip to New York City prepared by chef Aaron Sanchez, immediately followed by a four day trip to Veracruz, Mexico, the birthplace of Kahlua.
When it comes to the menu for your night in, Sanchez suggests keeping it casual. He recommends inviting guests into the kitchen to help cook, serving a speciality cocktail with each course that features a liquor (that's a Kahlua espresso martini, above) and serving small bites of food that can be eaten with your fingers for a more playful meal.

Snuggie Loving at San Francisco Hotels
On a 10 degree day, there's not much more appealing than snuggling on a sofa, which is why the Snuggie Love package caught our eye. Snuggie Love package is available at the Personality Hotels in San Francisco (including the Kensington, shown below) and includes:
• A Monkey Snuggie (unleash your inner animals)
• The Snuggie Sutra book (think Kama Sutra in a Snuggie. Try positions such as “Sleeve it to Beaver,” “The Snorgy” and “Viewmaster.”)
• A 4-pack SKYY Flavored Vodka Mini Bottles (get the party started)
• Late check out (for more monkeying around)
Rates start at $159 a night.
On Our Radar: Hotel 1000 Seattle
Seattle is an exciting city and off our beaten path. The handful of visits we've had there were full of good food, good people, and plenty of new sights. Next time we visit, we'd like to stay at the Hotel 1000 a boutique hotel downtown which is in walking distance of galleries, restaurants and shopping like the Pike Place Market. In our favor, Hotel 1000 is more Frasier Crane than grunge; but you can get your music fix at the clubs within walking distance. The guest rooms have Asian and Northwestern accents, Thai linens and spa worthy bathrooms (the tubs fill from the ceiling!). And not surprisingly the rooms are stocked with techno-gadgets like electronic "do not disturb" signs, 40" LCD tv's, and - our personal favorite- free WiFi. There's even a roof-top dog run and some serious virtual reality golf games. Rooms start at $215 per night.
On February 27th, Hotel 1000 is hosting a big Academy Award party. Tickets are $50 to $75 with proceeds benefiting Reel Grrls which "empowers young women from diverse communities to realize their power, talent and influence through media production."
An Evening with the Stars includes:
Appetizers
Cocktail on arrival
Two drink vouchers
A swag bag
Red carpet photo ops
Prizes for best celeb look-alike and best outfit
Hotel 1000 will provide live entertainment and a telecast of the Academy Awards
Party starts at 4:00 p.m.

How to Avoid Static Hair
Summer's pesky humidity which turns our hair to frizz gives way to an equally annoying problem in the winter: static hair. The dry air and cold temps are yet another challenge, especially if you're headed to Sundance or on a ski trip. Here are the best ways we've found to combat those flyaways:
1. Moisture is a natural static killer. Keep your hair well moisturized with a deep conditioner a couple of times each week. We use Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask (available at Sephora for $38) for soft, shiny hair. Also, don't wash your hair as often. Not only does washing dry your hair out, so does using the hair dryer.
2. Use a good leave-in conditioner. We like the Aveeno's products because they're easy to find, easy on the wallet, have spray-on application, and leave our hair silky.
3. Use a styling product like Morrocanoil (at salons and on line) which imparts shine and protects your hair from the dryer. That extra layer of product repels those pesky protons which make your hair stand on end.
4. Use a natural bristle brush which distributes the oils in your hair from root to end better than a synthetic brush. Like Morrocanoil, your own oils protect your hair.
5. The old-school method of getting rid of static by spraying your brush with hairspray doesn't work if there's alcohol in the hairspray. It'll only dry your hair out further and attract more static.

Best Dressed at the Golden Globes
Our favorite stylist Christina Joy shares with us her picks for best-dressed in the Golden Globes. Let us know if you agree in the comments below.
There were many surprises on the red carpet at last night's Golden Globes. Some were hits, some were misses. So many of the ladies got the dress right but the hair and make-up were just completely wrong. Other ladies listened to the wrong advisers and went avant-garde when it didn't exactly fit their body or look. And a few were, as Goldilocks says, just right. Here are my picks for the best in show.
Best in show...for her sultry sophistication.
Mila Kunis in Vera Wang
Best in show...for her grace and poise.
Catherine Zeta-Jones in Monique Lhuillier
Best in show...for her glow.
Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad
Best in show...for being comfortable in her own skin.
Annette Bening in Tom Ford
Best in show...for her sparkling smile.
Piper Perabo in Oscar de la Renta
Best in show...for her flawless skin head to toe...and because she can wear just about anything and look good.

Girls Getaway Package at the Setai South Beach
This is the time each year when we plan a little trip to Miami. It's just so easy and we always have fun. We're looking at new hotels to check out; but we still wanted to pass on this Girls Getaway package at the Setai. If you haven't been, it's simply one of the most sophisticated, lux property on the beach. We love the asian design influences, the floor to ceiling windows in the rooms, and the proximity to just about all of our favorite spots in SoBe.
- A bottle of Taittinger Champagne and Chocolate Truffles in the suite
- Two 60-minute treatments in The Spa at The Setai
- Complimentary Aperitif when dining in The Restaurant at The Setai
- VIP entrance to a South Beach lounge or nightclub
- Complimentary bottle with a VIP table reservation any Opium Group nightclub (like Mokai where Dwayne Wade is having his bday, Mansion and Set among others)
- Champagne makeover and private shopping experience at the Saks Fifth Avenue Club in Bal Harbour with an exclusive fifteen percent off
- The Setai Grand Breakfast each day
- Fifteen percent off the Asprey Boutique, located in the Setai lobby
