Where can you pop-in to one of these little shops? Click for more details.

The UNIQLO pop-ups located in the Flatiron at 155 Fifth Avenue and at 1880 Broadway just opening, and they will be followed by a third location at 2385 Broadway opening mid-August. In addition to the amazing clothing and accessories we’ve come to expect from the brand, each location will feature a visually stimulating experience such as: luxurious cashmere collage mannequins, a snow machine testing the innovation in the Ultra Light Down items and a TV monitor chandelier showcasing the best in UNIQLO web design.

And don’t forget to check out UNIQLO’s High Line Roller Rink – $12 covers admission, skate rental and tons of fun. For more info, visit http://www.uniqlo.com/nyc/now.

That’s right, from July 28 – September 26, you can lace-up and spin round on the High Line Rink, NYC’s only open air skating rink presented by UNIQLO. But what makes this collaboration even cooler is the pop-up shop UNIQLO Cube where you can shop for your favorite essentials on the west side.

UNIQLO Roller Skates to the High Line

The High Line Rink, located at West 30th and 10th Avenue, will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday – Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday – Saturday. The $12 admission fee includes skate rental for those not rolling up with their own pair. Various food trucks and booze from The Lot on Tap will be around for your enjoyment. Just when we thought UNIQLO couldn’t get any cooler…

Your fair sheltered skin is begging for a tan, and we all know tanning beds are not the answer, so we’ve scoured the city for places to lay out. Some of these places are free for all. Others are free of all other people. However you choose to do it, here’s where to find the sun in Manhattan.

Want a scene to bronze in?

A Dozen Places to Tan Under the Manhattan Sun

You can find it on the roof of these fancy shmancy clubs and hotels:

The Soho House – If you can find a dear friend (or at least a one night stand) in someone with a membership to this über exclusive British import, you can access their famed rooftop pool. Rub elbows with celebrities, or at the very least, their publicists.

Le Bain – On the roof of The Standard lies a bed of high tech synthetic grass, on which you’ll find giant plushy waterbed poofs and beautiful people.

Le Parker Meredien – For $50 a day you can use this just-south-of-the-park rooftop pool and all of the hotel’s amenities. A touch pricey, yes, but free of screaming children and pisswater.

The Gansevoort & The Gansevoort Park – Uptown or down, get free entrance and steep drinks. Lovely views, but beware – the BnT crowd has discovered (and invaded) this gem. ***UPDATE*** They don’t let the questionable crowd in on Sundays. Only beautiful people with slippery morals.

More of a free spirit?

A Dozen Places to Tan Under the Manhattan Sun

Park your beach bum at any of these NYC Parks, Piers and other Public Places:

Central Park – Duh. But check out these key layout spots: Sheep Meadow or The Great Lawn. Or find a giant slab of rock face and bunker down, they make surprisingly comfortable beds.

Clinton Cove - This stretch of park at Pier 95 at 55th st on the West side. Tan with a water’s view and real grass beneath you.

Christopher Street Pier – River view tanning in the West Village, but the pier is made of wood, so perhaps bring a beach chair for prime comfort.

Bryant Park - Midtown crash tan in the middle of work. Grab lunch at Hale and Hearty or Le Pain Quotidien and bake in the sun.

Battery Park - Find the sun in the Financial District and a view of Lady Liberty.

High Line – This train track turned eco-walkway has parts lined with lounge chairs and stunning water views.

Master Moocher?

A Dozen Places to Tan Under the Manhattan Sun

Call every single one of your Manhattanite friends and inquire about the state of their rooftops. What? You can only access it by climbing out a window and up a ladder on the fire escape? Sounds great! If you’re lucky, you’ll find a friend at 300 Mercer – UHmazing rooftop.

Or you could call on us at FashionIndie. We do have a nice slice of Manhattan rooftop….

 

AND… If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.

Just last week Fashion Indie announced the introduction of the Comme des Garçons’ BLACK label to the New York area, and voila, the shop, anticipated to stick around for 18 months, opened yesterday beneath beneath the High Line on 10th Ave! Racked reported that the mood around the West Chelsea shop was relatively calm, despite a visit from Lynn Yaeger, while the Barneys pop-up shop received some crazed  business. Most pieces range between $120-$660, and while many items can be passed as unisex, the majority of pieces are for women. So, who else will I see there this weekend?
