SENSE THROUGH SCENTS @ GLADE BOUTIQUE

A mysterious outer entryway to the Glade Boutique, 408 W. 14th St. ; a pop-up that sells feelings

A medley of Orange + Green Tea + Marine Water + Fresh Greens + Crisp Ozone mixes with hints of Rose, Violet, Jasmine, Muguet and Magnolia to make Sunshine Showers, a scent capturing "the essence of an invigorating day under the sun" [source: Glade promotional materials]. Created to evoke feelings of "limitless," Sunshine Showers joins Poppy Groove, Honeybee Rhythm and a host of other fragrances at Glade's pop-up scent boutique. While exhibits traditionally emphasize the visual, Glade's #FEELGLADE popup departs from the norm, offering visitors a truly sense-sational experience.

-WEDNESDAY WINDOWS-

 Alice & Olivia, Meatpacking district

School's almost out and summer vacation is on the minds of many as the countdown ensues. Sand, sun and squeals soon delight those who venture towards adventure. This Wednesday, the Meatpacking district's Anthropologie and Alice & Olivia present a painted, picturesque view of rest and relaxation. Where will you be this summer?!

WALLPAPER* HANDMADE WITH JAGUAR POP-UP

Wallpaper Mag + Wallpaper* Handmade exhibit press release 

In a marriage of lavish consumerism and industrial ingenuity, Wallpaper* and Jaguar present Wallpaper* Handmade, a pop-up exhibit at 345 Meatpacking. Featuring leading designers in fashion, furniture and architecture, each item exhibited is carefully curated--with all 40+ pieces specially commissioned--by Wallpaper* editors. Between the partially deconstructed Jaguar F-Type, Todd Bracher's cork jacket and Fiona Barratt-Campbell's valet supporting Alexander McQueen oxfords, the menagerie of high time artistry is thematically diverse and unequivocally exclusive. Arriving from Milan's annual Salone del Mobile, Wallpaper* Handmade reaches NYC in time for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).  

LINDA FARROW + BOFFO

Linda Farrow + Neiheiser & Valle at the BOFFO space, Pier 54

Bright lights, sunglasses and lightweight gold beams complete an indoor mirrored beach--the handiwork of BOFFO's latest pairing of Linda Farrow and architects Neiheiser & Valle. Protesting the dark and snowy days of winter, the exquisite sunglass designer and innovative architects have created an artistic installation that tests the boundaries of minimalism and balance. Part artistic installation, part eyewear boutique, the pop up--inside a shipping container parked at Pier 54--showcases Farrow's current line as well as collaborations with Oscar de la Renta, Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang and others. Take your pick from the vast selection, poised delicately on beams held in place by piles of loose gravel. Hurry by, as the temporary retail space will fold on Christmas eve.

GAGA + ARTPOP POP UP

Lady Gaga costumes on display

Starting Monday, Alexander McQueen's recently vacated Meatpacking space plays host to Lady Gaga's 3-day ARTPOP pop-up. Regularly connecting with her fans and wowing the world with chic (and unique) costumes, it's only natural for Lady Gaga's camp to erect a shrine to promote her new album. Despite the interactive elements and props for purchase, I'm a bit disappointed--I left, wanting a little more, done a little better. I guess art is subjective and, according to Gaga's banner phrase, "My Artpop could mean anything." 

BOFFO PRESENTS MICHAEL BASTIAN + BITTERTANG

The centerpiece of the main room featuring Michael Bastian shoes and George Frost jewelry 

Surrounded by a mound of hay and walls of wax, BOFFO presents Building Fashion 2013 featuring Bittertang and Michael Bastian. A bit off the beaten path, design farm (yes farm!) Bittertang has crafted a 2-room lair furnished with Little Red-Ridinghood-esque oddities at 15th Street's SuperPier 59. Patterned off painter Andrew Wyeth's melancholy fields, the 3-week pop-up is the 11th in a series of creative crossroads where culture, clothes and customized curiosity meet. From November 1st to 21st, the public is welcome to partake in the experience and purchase the goods.
