Mini style mavens
We’ve gotten used to seeing little celebrities sporting stylish clothes: Suri Cruise in her heels, the Jolie-Pitt brood in designer sportswear. But when Mama already has a fashion line, such as Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku collection, it only makes sense that a children’s range is soon to follow. Stefani’s Harajuku Mini for Target debuted a few days ago and now other hip kids in Hollywood and elsewhere can sport looks like those modeled by Kingston, Stefani’s son. The line includes about 80 items of apparel and accessories for babies, kids and tweens. Prices range from $4 to $20 on striped leg warmers, onesie tuxedoes, tutulike skirts, fuzzy hoodies and skinny black pants. A second collection will be in stores beginning Dec. 25.

From noon to 8 p.m., people can bring a project, get advice, and use TACtile’s equipment. TACtile also offers a number of classes. The weekend’s roster includes sessions on designing for textiles and redesigning sweaters. The member showcase will be up through Jan. 29 at 1955 S. Quince St. Information: 720-524-8886 or .
Spa specials
From pumpkin peels to head-to-toe glam sessions, local spas and salons have created seasonal specials and packages to help the transition into party season. Here are some to try:
• Antoine du Chez is offering the What A Girl Wants package. For $130, clients get a designer haircut or style, luxury pedicure and manicure and makeup application.

• Zuri Salon Spa thinks pumpkin should be used for pampering rather than pie. It has created an anti-aging pumpkin facial that is on sale through Thanksgiving for $85 rather than $110.
