Things That Make Us Love September

Keanu Reeves turning 45 (September 2). Just in time for Bill & Ted's Excellent Midlife Crisis.

Massive Kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim in New York City (September 18, 2009-- January 10, 2010). Upstage the Real Housewives watchers at the watercooler on Monday.

The Stiletto Run through New York City, a fundraiser for Stop Child Trafficking Now (September 27). Train by chasing the bus every morning.

Kenneth Cole 925 pumps with memory-foam soles. Your secret weapon in the Stiletto Run.

Dark, earthy polishes from mega-manicurist Jin Soon's new line for MAC. Another way to go green.

The BlackBerry Tour international phone with GPS, video camera, and iTunes. So smart, it already knows to block your mom's calls.

The perfume-bottle dresses from Mary Katrantzou's debut runway collection. Look like you're worth a hundred bucks an ounce.

Saving $350 on a Vegas vacation at MGM Grand's swanky Signature suites. Enough for 25 all-you-can-eat buffets!

Audrey Tautou in Coco Before Chanel.

The release of biopic Coco Before Chanel (September 25) and book The Gospel According to Coco Chanel (September 1). Next up: Chanel for Wii.

The Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act, giving away candy on realchocolate.com (opens in new tab) every Friday in September. Not a relief to our skinny jeans.

National Play-Doh Day (September 16). Can't you just smell it?
