Remember the rise of the “Cool Girl” circa 2014, thanks to Gone Girl? How times have changed: cool girls nowadays are less simple, man-pretty tomboys and more complex, woman-pretty works of art. It’s the age of #MeToo, after all. Continuing with Women’s History Month, this week we celebrate Cool Girl 2.0 - beautiful, sexy, utterly chic and in charge of her femininity. Hang out with the ultimate cool girl Alicia Vikander, and get your tresses transformed by the hottest downtown studio responsible for all the influencers’ locks; enjoy plant-based eats and wines at Credo Beauty, and dress the part thanks to a rare Chloé sample sale. So what defines cool now? Beauty *and* substance.
Up To 60% Off Cut, Color & Balayage At Rogue House Salon
Having fabulous hair is the key to looking amazing at all times, and this gem in the East Village is the spiritual home of so many influencers, bloggers, and fashionistas. Don’t let us convince you, just look at the 5 star rating out of 160+ reviews.
Sorry Jennifer Lawrence, but Alicia Vikander is our new Cool Girl ideal. She kicks butt as Lara Croft; she looks fantastic no matter what (even when she’s bald, as in Ex Machina); she’s married to Michael Fassbender; and you know, she’s so not overexposed, which is kind of refreshing nowadays, non? Get some inspiration from her as she talks about her new Tomb Raider role at Build.
$69 For A 3 Course Dinner For Two With A Bottle Of Wine At Osteria 57
Cool Girl 1.0 was all about eating hamburgers and chili fries with “the boys.” But Cool Girl 2.0 loves eating mindfully because she’s not a 16-year-old and knows to treat her body right. Indulge in Italian dishes with a focus on sustainable seafood and vegetables at this intimate and chic eatery.

In every cool girl’s wardrobe is a Chloé item - or an item that wishes it were Chloé. Live the dream at this rare sample sale where the goods by the French maison will be offered at up to 80% off.
$39 For A Cocktail Brunch For Two At Bar Verde
