Allie is Wired was invited to spend the afternoon at Robert Verdi’s Luxe Laboratory, a New York Fashion Week retreat and the absolute hottest place to unwind and relax after a day of watching the shows.

The suite looks like your hippest friend’s impossibly chic apartment, and every corner was stocked with a fashionista’s must-haves!

SENSA took over the kitchen and was dishing up tasty little treats like red velvet cupcakes and pulled pork sliders.

SENSA, created by Dr. Alan Hirsch, M.D., F.A.C.P., is one of the most sought-after weight loss systems. You can eat whatever you normally would; you simply sprinkle their revolutionary crystals on everything you eat. The crystals enhance your sense of smell, which helps you feel full faster and keeps your portion control in check. They sent us home with a month long supply – are you ready to see us svelter than ever?

We also had a chance to check out Reach toothbrushes trendy new designs by designer Shoshanna Gruss and Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out. Leave it to them to make even your mundane morning routine feel special!

Native Union made sure we didn’t leave without one of their quirky POP Phone handsets. The handsets plug directly into your cell and are even compatible with Skype! We chose a bright baby blue and can’t wait to try it out!

bamboopink by JudeFrances was thrilled to be at Robert Verdi’s Luxe Laboratory, showing off their newest collection of fun and trendy costume jewelry. We spied lots of dangly necklaces perfect for layering and some gorgeous stackable rings.

On our way out the door, we made sure to pause at the snapfish by HP photobooth for a quick shoot with prop moustaches and lips. Don’t we look cute?

Thanks to Robert Verdi for helping us escape the hoopla of New York Fashion Week!
