Top Sale this Week

If you’ve always wanted to experience Gwyneth Paltrow’s “digital lifestyle brand” goop offline, you’re in luck: The line is coming to Chicago for a pop-up installation at the Waldorf Astoria (11 E. Walton St., goop.com), from this Saturday through May 10. The shop, which was created in collaboration with Chicago designer Kara Mann, will stock items exclusive to the Chicago market. Browse fashion from Paltrow’s favorite designers, such as 3.1 Phillip Lim and Stella McCartney, and experience the pillars of goop—“go,” “be,” “do,” “make,” and “get”—in an “immersive, interactive setting.” Dressing up like your favorite Paltrow character (Margot Tenenbaum!) not required.
