THE INTERNET—Christian Louboutin created a pair of shoes exclusively for Barneys, and every day the retailer is unveiling another element of the design on its blog The Window. So far, the shoes (above) seem to include the words "NYC" and "HOLLY" and possibly some bling. But the whole picture won't be revealed until November 1. [The Window]

MEATPACKING DISTRICT—Scoop is hosting his-and-hers events this Thursday night. Gentlemen can get a first look at the new Richard Chai collection at the men's shop (873 Washington) while ladies can meet Daryl K over at the women's store (861 Washington). Both events run from 6pm to 8pm and involve cocktails, as all events should. [Racked Inbox]
