This week, there's a primping session, an online jewelry sale and other fashion and beauty news, tips and bargains that fashion reporter Ginger Murphy discovered.

Happy-hour pamper

W Scottsdale Hotel is giving Valley ladies a new way to celebrate, unwind and be treated midweek with the new "Primp, Pop and Shop" happy hour, offered from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. For $25, you'll receive an express manicure from Bliss Spa, two glasses of sparkling wine and 20 percent off new fashions at W Hotels the Store.

Details: W Scottsdale, 7277 E. Camelback Road, Scottsdale, 480-970-2100, wscottsdalehotel.com.

Online jewelry store

Ardenb.com is having a sale on jewelry, and it's a good time to buy statement necklaces and cocktail rings. Many accessories are offered at 50 percent off if you purchase one piece at regular price. Among our favorites are the geometric stone necklace, $29, and chain-link necklace, $24.

Spring training

If you're a Cactus League baseball fan, this contest at Ted Baker's store at Scottsdale Fashion Square is for you. Through March 30, bring in a spring-training ticket stub and you'll be entered in a $500 shopping-spree giveaway at the store, which carries such items as the "Grethun" bow-detail playsuit, $180. The winner's name will be drawn April 1. Baseball fans also can stop in the store and pick up a free "Get Off Your Rear and Cheer" Ted Baker foam seat pad (no purchase necessary).

Spring cheeks

If more color is what you are after, try Light Glow Natural Blush in Tangerine No. 6, both $42 at Nordstrom.
