WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK—Did you know that there's a high concentration of Britney Spears fans in or around Washington Square Park? To say thank you to all of them at once, a chalk artist created the special ad above that expresses her gratitude for ten years of support for her fragrances. Her new scent—the anniversary edition of "Fantasy—is out now. [RackedWire]

UPPER EAST SIDE—On Thursday, celebrate the launch of Illamasqua at Bloomingdale's on 59th Street with Creative Director Alex Box, and watch her recreate some of the coolest looks from the brand's history. The party starts at 6:30pm on the beauty floor and wraps up at 8pm. And up on the shoe floor, Man Repeller's Leandra Medine will host a party for her collab with Superga and new book Seeking Love Finding Overalls at 6pm. [RackedWire]
