There’s a serious laundry list this week—it combines urban couture and aprons with Slimer, llamas, zombies and treadmills, oh my! We’ll try to be brief, but we couldn’t leave any one of these off the hot list. Here goes:

Feel Like Struttin’: 300 South’s hip-to-the-hop Kayo Gallery and urban boutique Model Citizen are hosting Salt Lake’s first-ever “Fashion Stroll” this evening. The sartorial showdown is complete with live music, debuts from local clothing designers, boutique booth-shopping and more. Get the low-down here.

Fashion Stroll
Broadway (300 South), between 200 and 300 East streets
Salt Lake City
July 13, from 6-10 p.m.

Sooner or Later: We’re tickled pink (and blue and yellow, with a trace of lace) by a new clothing collection out of Cali—Santa Monica Boulevard, no less. The Soon Collection is the handiwork of FIDM-trained Suener Carnahan, and her style is fresh, ladylike, and demure, with a slight retro nod. For now, the row of photos on the site are providing nice eye candy. For later, we’re hoping to see some Soon in area boutiques. We’ll keep you posted.

Bustin’ Out: What better way to spend Friday the 13th than with free popcorn, your favorite blanket, and “Ghostbusters” at Lindsey Gardens, with all your favorite pals from around the city. The “Friday Night Flicks” series with its “Awesome ’80s” theme is drawing closer to an end with its second-to-last movie tonight, beginning at dusk. Look forward to “Annie” at Riverside Park on the 20th.

Spa’n'City: Whether a rough day of work makes you yearn for a mani/pedi or a quick 30 on the elliptical, the Gateway’s first salon-and-gym combo is now open. The Metro Fitness Club is a full-service fitness and wellness club, complete with the area’s only Aveda Lifestyle-certified Sanctuary Day Spa. Ah, the sweet smell of witch hazel.
