Shanti Face & Body Lounge Opens: Calm It Down

It has been a long week. And no, you don’t want to talk about it (unless it involves a job offer, a diamond, or a single George Clooney.) So, you do what you do best (according to your Ex) and decide to take really good care of yourself. You treat yourself to a drinking lunch. You pick up a few things at one of your favorite boutiques. Then, you head to the rooftop for a 90 minute Shangri-La at Shanti Face & Body Lounge.

Spotted on celebs like Carey Mulligan, Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson, this season it’s a statement in leather, pleats and patterns.
