OPENINGS
Come Saturday, whiffs of prairie grass, bergamot and Indian rhubarb detected along the meatpacking district stretch of the High Line can be attributed not to the elevated park’s exotic landscaping, but to the eau de parfum High Line ($160 for 50 milliliters), found steps away at the newest BOND NO. 9 boutique. The perfumery, at 863 Washington Street, (212) 206-9907, occupies 1,000 copiously scented square feet and has some 50 New York-themed potions for men and women.
LIMITED EDITIONS
In partnership with the human rights organization Invisible Children, the unisex eyewear brand WARBY PARKER has created its first sunglasses. The chic, retro-inspired shades are available online at warbyparker.com, or at its showroom at 13 East 16th Street, sixth floor, (888) 492-7297. Don them and look in the mirror and you will feel especially Angelina- or Brad-like: Each purchase provides free glasses to someone in need, and $30 from each $95 sale goes to aid children affected by war in Central Africa.
EVENTS
Tonight, the fashion site REFINERY29 and the new online deals resource OO will host an evening of shopping and champagne, from 5 to 9 p.m., at 20 meatpacking district stores, including Theory, Diane Von Furstenberg and Calypso. Goods will be discounted up to 60 percent, but only if you have made an RSVP at oo.com/vip/.
