With all of my wedding planning going on I'm 100% out of the loop on anything remotely cool. I realize I can't vacuum myself out of reality, so I'm making a fair attempt to get back in the game. Which leads me to Fashion's Night Out.

What's the deal, are you going? (Last year Lauren & I spent the night running around Bergdorf's...)

Have you seen this agenda map on their website?

You can choose what hoods you want and what categories you're interested in, so call your boos, make a list and go scoop up some free samps!

All HERE.

Oh, you all of this didn't you?

I better not turn into a big married loser. Blech.

It's hot and sunny (!)..

So of course that means it's time to turn in your vendor applications for the Grand Central Holiday Fair.

It may be early, but I know at least a few of you GC readers are designers, gift vendors or even just have a great product to sell. This is your chance to sign up for the only indoor Holiday market in the city!

For those of you who don't know the Grand Central Holiday Fair is held in the historic Vanderbilt Hall in midtown Manhattan. People from all over New York---the surrounding areas and even tourists---attend this fair annually for unique gifts, quirky crafts and one of a kind items. The booth rental fee comes to $13,050, but with foot traffic I'm sure it's a worthy investment. So get in the Holiday spirit early and apply, the deadline is June 10th so hurry up and get those apps in ASAP!

Where? HERE.

This Thursday, one of my favorite brands, Burt's Bees, is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.

(Tangent: Earth Day is younger than my mom? Who knew?)

And they want you to join in on the festivities around the city:

Part 1. In the Times Square area?

Burt's Bees will be offering people-powered natural smoothies at a "Bike Blender" station in Times Square, where visitors can stop by and enjoy a smoothie featuring natural ingredients like milk, honey, pomegranate, and cranberry (some of the same natural ingredients in Burt's Bees® products). The pedaling action powers the blender, creating a wholesome natural treat with clean energy.

Ever wondered who's that scary bearded man on your lip balm tin?

Why, it's Burt Shavitz and he wants you to look like him. (Go get your free beard, Girlfren'.)

2. Work near Central Park or Rock Center?

Burt look-alikes (scury!) will take to the streets and hand out samples and urging folks to be as eco-friendly as Burt. Passing out free "Burt" beards and hats, the Burt look-alikes will help transform the crowds into "Burts" themselves.

I wonder if the beards will be like the one's from BeardHead!?
