After so many memories at the old Aubergine, the arrival of San Diego’s hottest new club had some big shoes to fill.  But after 10 minutes inside FLUXX, it was clear that this was the future of clubbing!  There was so much hype about the opening of FLUXX, from the involvement of RMD Group (the guys behind Side Bar), and design by the Orange County LEGEND of Davis Kumins, I thought it was going to be hard for the place to live up to its own preceding reputation – I was wrong.

FLUXX has brought a new age of innovation to the entire nightlife industry.  The theme of FLUXX is in its name, and was made to be flexible and adaptive to the ever-changing club scene.  It is uniquely designed to be able to completely alter themes, and claims that it will do so every month.  I love this idea because clubs can get boring FAST, but FLUXX will entirely transform throughout the year!  They also have a ‘FLUXX ME’ cocktail, which will change according to the season!

Once I stepped through the doors I was immediately impressed.  The entire venue is organic themed, which was so cool! Throughout the club there are genuine samples of nature – from moss-covered surfaces to old tree logs.  The sound system was AMAZING.  No other club in San Diego has dropped this kind of dough on their music system, and I love that FLUXX has put so much effort into getting people back on the dance floors!  Unlike the multiple rooms of the Aubergine, FLUXX has transformed most of the venue into one giant dance floor, with unparalleled light shows, smoke, and even wind simulators!

My girlfriends and I got hooked up with one of the VIP tables, which are elevated around the bullring style dance floor.  Not only was the location great, the service was the best I’ve received in San Diego.  Our VIP host, who was male by request , made sure we were satisfied all night – he even walked us to the restroom!  I have my eye on the master VIP table for next time – it’s called the Tree House, complete with go-go dancers, and room for about 20.  All of the staff was HOT, and the bottle service girls were all wearing really cute outfits.  Not only were we taken care of, we felt safe.  FLUXX had plenty of security, and even though the place was packed, the security kept it under control.

Would I go back to FLUXX?  Hot guys and gals, great hospitality, and a revolutionary club environment – I’ll be there again this weekend!

With a mile long list of events and publications they have worked on or been featured in, when you walk into A Style Concierge you know you’ve stepped foot into a whole new kind of place.  You know the second you leave the salon you’ll feel like an A-list star – me and the other Bikini Team girls sure did!

After you get your hair colored, cut, styled, or what have you, you can even stop by the boutique and find a number of stylish additions to your closet, for women and men, whether it’s jewelry, bags, clothing, or swimwear.

I love that it’s a one-stop shop!  I can find my outfit, accessories, and get my hair and makeup done all in one place. It works for any busy or lazy guy or gal – it’s just efficiency at its best! That’s the goal Michael Lee had envisioned when he started up A Style, for clients to feel completely transformed when they walked out of the salon doors, and he has definitely achieved that.

The girls and I walked in with our sweat pants and flip flops and after a couple of hours had new dos, stunning makeup, and chic outfits to go out and hit the hot clubs with.  We were decked out from head to toe!

Having opened in 2007, A Style Concierge is a relatively new establishment, yet they have managed to make such a large and deep footprint in the world of fashion, event production, and San Diego lifestyle.

I for one am definitely thrilled that they’re expanding and moving to the heart of Gaslamp on 5^th St. in late Summer.  But until then, I’m staying loyal to their original location that has treated the girls and me so well!

A Style Concierge really does embody hair, fashion, and lifestyle.

It’s April again, which means that Hard Rock’s Sunday Intervention has returned!  Modeled after Hard Rock Las Vegas’ Sunday Rehab, this new San Diego event has given us all an excuse to put off the Monday blues and give Sunday its own slot in the weekend fun.  After two successful summers, I can’t wait to see what the Hard Rock has added to this pool party on steroids.

Ever since Sunday Intervention rolled into sunny San Diego in 2008, I have counted down the days until April — signaling the beginning of Summer at the Hard Rock.  All San Diegans know that summer starts early in Southern California, and this is by far the best way to kick off the season.   Most of the time being a VIP is the best way to do an event, but the girls and I love Sunday Intervention because even the non-VIP’s feel like royalty.   The Hard Rock transforms their upper level decks – the Float and the Woodstock Lounge – into the best pool-side party in San Diego.  Not only do these two decks allow for 1,400 plus crowds, they are tricked out with couches, luxury lounge chairs, and cabanas.   Each weekend they bring in a new celebrity DJ, and the party doesn’t stop until sundown!

I love Sunday Intervention because you get to leave the heels at home and throw on something more relaxing.  The chilled out environment is the perfect way to shake off your Sunday morning hangover, and even ease your way into another cocktail (or two)!  Floating in a pool overlooking beautiful downtown San Diego, cocktail in hand, and soaking up the sun has quickly become the only way I look to spend the last day of my precious weekend.

If these parties are even half of what they have been in the past, I’ll look to make it to as many as I can.  It’s been a long winter, and nothing is more welcoming than fun in the sun.  So let’s strip down and give our bodies some summer lovin’, and kick off San Diego’s favorite season the right way.
