"   Photo: Courtesy of Chantecaille  Rather than expand upon its existing spa at Barneys, niche beauty brand Chantecaille chose to open their first Manhattan flagship a few blocks away at Bloomingdale&amp;#039;s. All in all, it seems like a smart move\u2014though the ever-trendy Barneys snagged a new CEO, former Gucci chief executive Mark Lee, in August, the upscale chain has been dogged by rumors of financial woes. On the flip side, Bloomingdale&amp;#039;s continues to expand: The mass-market retailer opened its first store outside the U.S. this year (in Dubai) as well as its first stateside outlet, and has plans to roll out three to five more outlets by the end of 2011.  The new Chantecaille boutique joins Bloomie&amp;#039;s growing cosmetics department, which also includes the first-ever Bumble and bumble styling bar, a revamped Clinique counter, YSL beauty outlet, and Memoire Liquide Bespoke Perfumery (one of three in the country). Besides a luxe offering of Chantecaille goodies, the location will reveal a spa room later this year. To f\u00EAte its new digs, Chantecaille will host a tea party this Thursday from 4PM to 6PM at Bloomingdale&amp;#039;s with macaroons, free consultations and creative director Olivia Chantecaille herself.
