NIGHTLIFE //The best drinks to start or end your night
Bonneville Shoreline Trail Be sure to get out this month, before the cold weather hits and take in the beauty of the surrounding area. Bonneville Shoreline Trail stretches along the backside of Red Butte Garden all the way to City Creek Canyon and the Capitol. With the beautiful panoramic view of Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Mountains in the east, this trail is a favorite for local trail runners and mountain bikers alike.
The Lion House PantryThe Lion House Pantry has some of the best home cooking this side of the Mississippi. Their menu features authentic recipes that have been passed down through generations. Now that they serve breakfast, their French toast might beat out what they’re really famous for: warm house rolls with honey butter.

Ken Sanders Rare BooksThis antiquarian bookshop in downtown carries an ever-changing inventory and vast selection on used and rare books, along with a few new ones. In addition to a great selection of books, they also sell art, ephemera, maps, postcards, and photography. As you walk through the stacks, piled well above your head with books from great authors like Edward Abbey, Orson Welles, John Grisham and Ray Bradbury, you’ll have a difficult time settling on just a few titles.

With two floors, two patios, and by far the most beautiful view of downtown and the Wasatch Mountains; Gracie's is a must for a night on the town. Along with great food and drinks, Gracie’s also offers live music or a D.J. almost every night of the week. Bring your friends and watch your favorite team play on one of their 22 large flat screens or hang out and play a game of pool, shuffleboard or darts in the game room.

Marci Wiser, the X96 midday DJ,grew up in Layton — perhaps, better known to us Utahns as
Lay-un. Before she got into the DJ scene, Marci was going
to school at Weber State. While attending school, she
thought that earning some credit working for the college
radio station sounded fun. One day, while she was on air,
the music director at KISN called and offered her a real
radio job. The rest, as they say, is history. “I love being on
the air because I get to talk to listeners all day, play music
and hopefully bring a smile to someone here and there,”
Marci said. As if this mother of three and almost four wasn’t
busy enough, she started Tattoo Cosmetics earlier this year.
She loves the artistry of make-up, and it also gives her an
excuse for her obsessive addiction to cosmetics. Check it
out at www.tattoocosmetics.net.
Where is your favorite place for a date night?It depends on the mood of the date night. If it’s casual, I love checking out a good movie and then hanging out at a great dive bar, like Good Time’s in Layton, Murphy’s or The Green Pig in Salt Lake. You know, darts/karaoke/shots, they all make for a good date. But if we’re in more of a ‘swanky’ mood, it’ll have to be Takashi for sushi followed by a martini at Kristauf’s Martini Bar. Mmmm …
Where is your favorite place to go shopping? I am so excited that we have City Creek. I love cruising around and checking out the stores that we’ve missed. We now have all the best department stores, which aren’t great for my wallet, but my closet loves it. I also love The Gateway and Tanger Outlets in Park City at Kimball Junction. Between those, they give me the shopping buzz I need.
What is your favorite thing to do around downtown?You name it - eat, drink, laugh, love, be merry, shop, get parking tickets. Salt Lake doesn’t get enough credit for its downtown scene. There are a lot of great places we can enjoy, without the hassles of the sweaty masses found in other big cities.
Where’s the best place to go with your family? We love the Clark Planetarium, the IMAX screen is great and the kids love to check out the space and science exhibits. Other favorites are: the zoo (we’re members), Bees games, iHop on Sunday mornings, my daughter has a crush on the divers at The Mayan, and my son would take us to every Jazz game if he could. We’re all over the place, but there are so many great options.
If you had 48 hours in Utah to do anything, what would that be?I think I would take time to see the things I don’t get to see very often. I would hit Southern Utah, check out Zion, spend the night at Bear Lake in a log cabin that smells like fresh sawdust. I don’t get to do that stuff enough. Can someone call X96 and tell them this girl needs a day off?
What is the best part of living in the 801?Well, there are a few things. First, we’re never more than 30 minutes away from anything we want to do – boating, skiing, hiking, shopping, theater, night life, etc. Move to L.A. and see how long it takes you to find a parking spot, let alone get across town. The 801 is also very clean and safe. Not only do I see Utah’s finest on every corner, but the mountains are my security blanket and the sidewalks are so clean I could just lick ‘em. I won’t…but I could.
What are Utahns better at than anyone else in the world? Bad driving! But seriously, raising kids. Coming from a girl who has lived in many different U.S. zip codes, Utah is the best place to raise a family – and we Utahns have it down to a science (well, at least most of us).

What’s old is new again at Bettie Page! As the weather cools down, warm up with a hot fall look in the Iced Coffee dress. This figure hugging shape will show off a woman’s curves and em-brace the true style of the 1950’s. The warm coffee tone is a great neutral that pairs well with almost any combination of accessories. This is truly a classic retro style made for the modern woman!Bettie Page Clothing 77 Rio Grande, SLC www.bettiepageclothing.com
Some say the best accessory for fall is nail lacquer. On trend for Fall 2012 are classic shades of rich burgundy and midnight blue that pick up on the strong, feminine attitude. German-icure from the new Germany Collection by OPI is just that, strong, feminine and bold. You can find this beauty and others like it at Got Beauty.Got Beauty 904 E. 2100 South, SLC www.gotbeauty.com
It is said that clothing makes the man. Beckett & Robb is doing its part, making men into gentlemen, one suit at a time. Using only the finest materials, dedicated master tailors who proceed with skilled workmanship and complete each piece with meticulous detailing. Each piece is 100-percent custom; they never use a pre-existing pattern, each garment is cut & sewn by hand according to more than thirty measurements, resulting in a truly custom suit, shirt, or overcoat. Beckett & Robb’s custom clothing exemplifies a commitment to creativity and craftsmanship. Style takes many forms, yet the finest things always have an element of sophistication, simplicity, and perfected craftsmanship.Beckett & Robb | 150 South Main Street, SLC www.beckettrobb.com
Now that the kids are back in school and their shopping is done, it’s time to focus
on you! September just might be the best time of year to go shopping at some of
your favorite boutiques, stores and salons. Whether you want to pick up a style
you see from Fashion Night Out’s runway show or you’re looking for that full
wardrobe make-over with extra pampering, finding your personal style has never
been easier in Salt Lake. From men’s suits to accessories and beauty products for
her, we have a list of some of our favorite things.

Goodbye acrylic, hello shellac! Shellac is one of the best things to happen to nail beauty and care since the invention of the nail clippers. Shellac has a 14-day wear, mirror finish, no drying time and doesn't damage the nail. Pure Beauty Salon offers shellac in a full line up of fun colors to choose from. With only 30 minutes standing between a girl and fabulous looking nails that last for two weeks, it's a no brainer why this beauty trend has become so popular.Pure Beauty Salon 8942 S. State St, Sandy
If you’re looking for a new hairstyle for the fall, such as the ever-popular ombré color, darker hair on top and lighter color on the midlengths and ends, you can’t go wrong with Lunatic Fringe.

With the husband-and-wife team, Angie Katsanevas and Shawn Trujillo running the salon, clients know that they're getting the best and newest looks when it comes to hair fashion.Lunatic Fringe 1511 E 2100 South, SLC www.lunaticfringesalon.com
Red Light Therapy is an infrared light, which is a unique type of light that has a stronger wavelength than other types of light. This en-ables it to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide many therapeutic benefits including improvement in the skin’s appearance and structure as well as relief from pain. Similar to the sun, infrared light provides a warming effect on the skin, but without the presence of damaging UV Rays. With no damaging ef-fects, only positive results, it’s no surprise that RED light therapy is a great new way to im-prove your appearance and health. Red light therapy is now available at Suns A Beach. Suns a Beach | 380 W. 200 South, SLC www.sunsabeach.com

It was the end of a hot summer day. My polka dot stockings had a run and the 50-foot walk to the post office seemed daunting as the sun beat down on gum melting in the parking lot.
After what felt like the longest stiletto sprint in modern history, I made it into air-conditioned heaven and fidgeted to get my PO Box key to turn. Minutes of feminine huffing and puffing led to the realization that my box was not going to open due to the plethora of magazines which were about to reveal that fall fashion was here.
I quickly pushed my four-inch shoes against the wall, hiked up my Karma Boutique baroque style skirt and pulled with all my might.
Let me tell you – one 6 x 6 box is not enough for all those glossies!
As magazines flew out of my box and bystanders were pelted with scattering subscription cards and Vogues (yes, I have three subscriptions thanks to loving gift givers), I knew it was time to start planning my fall wardrobe. Summertime vacations and fun may be ending, but September is here!
Just like magazines, September is the “it” month for Utah fashion as it kicks off autumn styles and events. Boutiques like SexyModest and Nineteen70 are expanding with new locations this autumn. Scheels is opening their first store in Utah and recently Kiehl’s, Peek and about 400 new Bohme stores opened. Fashion is alive and well in Utah and just like any great magazine or fashion blogger, we know how to kick off the season – with Fashion Night Out.

and will showcase local looks, trends, designers and the hottest stores. Pair that with killer runway walks and the opportunity to hobnob with Utah’s fashion elite and you’ve got the perfect fall sizzler.
For Fashion Night Out 2012 you’ll see all the Vogue fashions I sat staring at as post office bystanders stood shocked
at the site of a girl with her skirt stuck to her mailbox.
Take the modern military trend for example. For those of us who have seen local designer Sophie St. Clair’s ALFA FEM collection, the look is exciting and offers a variety of options for those who want to go and do. The structured look of military combines detailed buttons and accessories, and
pops when paired with a great pair of red pants. So next time you’re headed to the Leonardo to check out some art pump up your look with this sophisticated style. Then, take a drive over to the Gilgal Sculpture Garden, where you’ll be your own piece of art in the outdoor collection.
For those looking for more relaxed movement, grunge is where it’s at.

Now don’t go all Nirvana on me quite yet because fall’s grunge is a modern take on the trademark plaids. Add a skirt and even some lace to update the look - then head out to Saltair or the Depot to listen to today’s top local and national bands. For the city dweller, wear this look at the Hive or take a trip to the mountains and relax around a campfire in comfort and style.
If you can’t get past the Nirvana grunge association this fall, try mounting your wardrobe with the equestrian look (no horses required). You don’t need to be British royalty to pull off a great pair of leather boots as you gallop through downtown for your kid’s next play date at the park. Wearing tailored pieces to create a clean, outdoor look will prep you for a coffee break at the Rose Establishment or a trip to Octoberfest at Snowbird. A perfect look for men too, male hunters will want to keep an eye out for elbow and knee patches. They will give your style an extra touch of interest, detail and swagger.
For those who are looking for a more classic style to define their lives by (both this season and next), take a chance on Utah’s first Bettie Page shop at the Gateway. This 50’s inspired store provides great pinup and carhop looks. For anyone who has eaten a Pace’s Tiger Blood Popsicle or had a Nelson’s Frozen Custard shake knows that there is always a place for the Motown era. You can stick to traditional 50’s activities such as the Redwood Drive-In Theatre or branch out to create a day look that will not be forgotten. Take your hip-defining style for a stroll at the Red Butte Garden or for an afternoon lunch with the gals. Men, slick back that hair and

consider using 50’s accents for casual Fridays and bike rides through the city.
No matter which look you decide to adorn this fall, remember that layers will keep you warm and that daring is en vogue. Whether your wardrobe includes a mix of incoming trends or classic looks, take a chance on fall by exploring other seasonal styles including baroque, romantic gothic and oriental. Utah’s boutiques are already stocked with accessories, which will warm you up to the new looks you’re dying to try, but wonder how they’ll look on you. Once you find a style you like, start incorporating new clothing pieces into your wardrobe to perfect the outfit (all of which will be showcased at this fall’s Fashion Night Out). If you’re not quite sure how to mix and match, check out local stylists like Jen Clyde, Kat Fedorova and Alicia Richmond (Chic on a Shoestring) for tips. You can also keep up to date with great publications like the one you’re reading and
local blogs (check out my own site FashionUtah.com for an ever growing list of local bloggers).
Although September has made it nearly impossible for me to grab my mail without wanting to hide behind a hat, it has also brought with it a diversity of style – one of which is sure to fit your personality and body type. So take a break this September 14. Check out some new looks, meet some new friends and grab some style inspiration before fall fashion hits you in the head.
Rockwell was born out of a need for a more iconic action-sports timepiece. Founded right here in Salt Lake, the heart of the snow-sports mecca, Rockwell has quickly grown to become one of the most recognizable styles on the market.
