Knock-knock, Fools There
This April 1st is the 10th Annual Pajama Day in Cherry Creek North. It is the one day when the rolled-out-of-bed look is posh in this district. Don’t bother with cosmetics. Bed head trumps coiffed. Don your fuzzy slippers and come on down for a relaxing day in the city’s most upscale retail center.

Okay. Okay. Just kidding! Happy April Fools’ Day from Cherry Creek North! Go ahead and get a laugh out of your friends, but this is your warning to stay on your freshly pedicured toes.

Fashion

Trick or Trend
The must-haves for spring walked straight off the runway into BCBGMAXAZRIA at 105 Fillmore St. Celebrate the turning of seasons with a black and white dress and bright leather purse—this year’s hottest look. Forget the notion that spring’s arrival is predicted by a ground hog; in Cherry Creek North, it’s the day the organza hits the racks. Stock up on wooden-heeled, colorful strappy sandals on sale for $99 just in time for vacay. And if the down Dow means you have to substitute your Baja getaway for a backyard pool this summer, you can still suit your budget without compromising your style -- and you won’t look like a fool in last year’s outfits. Shop the spring collection at www.bcbg.com.

The Comfy Bar
You may flirt with fashion and experiment with entrees, but don't fool around with comfort. Belly up to the Blues Jean Bar at 250 Fillmore St. and order up exactly what you like. This tender bar has more than 40 lines of men and women’s jeans on tap. The fit experts get to the bottom of every style and they can help you identify the perfect match for your physique—all in the setting of a neighborhood-pub inspired boutique. Don’t miss Friday happy hour. Find your fit at www.thebluesjeanbar.com.

Dining

Poisson d’Avril
In France, where April Fool’s day began, the poisson d’Avril, or April fish, is the name for an April fool because a naive fish is easy to catch. But may we recommend a different poisson this April Fools’ Day. Sushi Tazu at 300 Fillmore St. tempts the palate with California rolls, calamari, sashimi and handrolls. Monday through Saturday, Happy Hour runs all day from 11:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. (no joke) and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Find out more at www.sushitazu.com.

Walking in Eggshells
A toast to two eggs, the crunch of the healthy granola and syrup on griddle cakes—the downstairs breakfast nook is a hot spot where you can do business or kick back and relax. The Egg Shell at 300 Josephine St. serves it just how you like it—sunny side up or over easy…no kidding. Let your mouth water over the menu at www.theeggshell.com.

Wellness

Breath Easy
In through the nose, out through the mouth. Something as simple as oxygen can reduce stress and fatigue, improve cognition and energize and rejuvenate the body. Take in oxygen that is five times richer than the normal air we breath for only $1 per minute at Oxygen Salon and Spa at 300 Josephine St. Here, you can also get full salon and spa services, and laser teeth whitening under one roof. Now that’s a breath of fresh air. Visit www.oxygensalonandspa.com.

Kick Me
Remember that New Year’s resolution you made three months ago? Whether you stuck with it or, well, fell of the wagon, it is time to get motivated all over again. Pure Vida at 2955 E. 1st Ave. offers a variety of classes in fitness, including yoga, Pilates, spinning, abs, cardio and more. Check out the schedule and membership details at www.puravidaclub.com/classes.php. The latest addition to the schedule is Capoeira (pronounced cap-oh-ware-ah), a “dance-like fight and a fight-like dance” that sets kickboxing-like moves to a dance-worthy beat. The one person you don’t want to fool this spring is yourself. So burn calories, burn.
