Chanel Le Rouge Pop-Up

We’ve attended the past 2 Chanel popups in New York City and just hosted a CCno.5 themed 5th birthday party so of course, we HAD to see the latest Chanel pop-up titled, “Le Rouge”!  Located on 5 East 57th street, it was an all-red pop-up that highlighted Coco’s quintessential red lipstick, “Rouge Allure.”  Other limited edition products like the Chanel no5 Parfum in a giant red Baccarat crystal bottle (for $30,000) also drew all sorts of Coco connoisseurs and collectors alike.

As expected with all pop-ups, this one offered tons of vibrant backdrops.

Selfies could be taken on every picturesque wall and corner and a perfume runway area brought out the wannabe models in all of us.

The Chanel pop-up featured a lip lounge where a makeup artist would help select the perfect shade of red. (Juliet loved this and chose a pinkish sparkly red gloss to wear).

A fragrance bar allowed for a fun fragrance test in a cafe-like setting, a holiday shop offered complimentary gift wrapping and holiday cards, and a supersized Le Rouge compact was specially created to feature dozens of eye, lip and nail beauty items sure to be on every fashionista’s wishlist. ($1500) Be still my heart!!

Special events within the space included red manis with nail artist, Madeline Poole, makeovers from Chanel celeb artist, Kate Lee and Fulvia Farolfi plus calligraphy lessons, numerology sessions, and lip readings.

Le Rouge ran from December 7 to December 23 at 5 E. 57th Street.

Why Even The Biggest Grinch Will Fall In Love With Fa La Land, the New LA Christmas Popup

My husband hates pop-ups.  He hates taking pictures.  He hates being IN pictures.  So what was he doing at the latest LA Christmas pop-up?  My brother bought us all tickets knowing I would love it and not realizing hubby might hate it.  Haha so it was to my great surprise and delight to see my pop-up grinch of a husband actually enjoy himself for once – AND put on a Christmas sweater for pics to boot! (mind blown)

This was all of course thanks to the incredibly joyful staff at Fala Land who had magical grinch-defying powers and contagious Christmas cheer.  They were so high on life (and maybe drunk on too many Red Bulls ?) that you couldn’t help but smile in unison and laugh at their silly antics.  Only they could make communicating the rules of the pop-up seem fun, not boring…similar to how Jet Blue airlines creatively makes their announcements onboard humorous rather than bland.  And only they could chant “put on that sweater, put on that sweater” in such a convincing way as to actually make my husband listen to me and put on the ugly Christmas sweater I brought for him to wear.  And for that I am forever grateful!

Have you heard of Fa La Land?  It’s a holiday-themed pop-up where you can get your Santa pics AND enough fodder to fill your Instagram feed for the next month! Each room was highly stylized and every corner bursted with vibrant colors and classic Christmas scenes.  And like all pop-ups, each room had fun interactive elements.

Winter Wonderland? Check. Here you got to meet and chat with Mrs. Claus, write a letter to Santa and mail it and walk through the naughty or nice door of your choice.

Elf on the shelf and a spinning wheel to determine which list you should write your name on? Check.
