Karl, it's cold outside. . .

This past week I was in LA  meeting a friend at Barney's on Rodeo in Beverly Hills for lunch. Being so close to the shopping capital of the United States, well the Western hemisphere to be blunt, I simply had to stop by some of my favorite stores.

 I love interpretation. Everyone has their own flair and vision for it. Sure, I could put this CHANEL tunic on Kate Bosworth and the babe would rock it on some red carpet or at a meet and greet. But what enthralls me with the article of clothing, is the story behind it. What inspired Karl to create this, what he went through to draw it out of him. 

The glossy windows that line Rodeo Drive do exactly just that, they all tell a magnificent story. This window here was nothing short of awe-wakening. To take a trip to the Swiss Alps and still have my feet planted in LA was a defiant experience. 

More of my favorites tomorrow peeping toms,

Bride of CHANEL

Chanel seems to have certainly dove into the Halloween spirit creating a dazzling display of what I interpret to be the Brides of Frankenstein-or the Brides of Karl. Here inside their Robertson Blvd. window lies the three villains. With the raw fluorescent bulbs giving a heart beat of life, these fabulous dolls are ready to catch the beat of the city.

Watch your back babes,

Lipstick Ladies

The infamous House of Chanel is hoping to tempt lip gloss aficionados back to the lost art of lipstick...Enter stage left, Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour. Making her debut the first of March, this long lasting, ultra hydrating collection will hold 30 shades...each $30...Names like Camellia, a deep rose, Mademoiselle, a soft pink, and Paris, a bright red, are all named after a part of the legendary Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's life. The new formula will hold true in a heritage case consisting of black metal casing, instead of plastic which has been recently used, a wide gold band, and the iconic interlocking C's. Both presented on top and inside of the cap. With a stamped "Chanel" on the bullet, bringing back the pure luxury of lipstick will have the ball in Chanel's court...

Savvy Shopper loves: Another great contender to this Lipstick Takeover, is the new ColorBurst collection from Revlon. Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman, who excited Lancome for the role, has pulled in 20 shades for their representation of a lux lip. At $8.99 you will get a vibrate hue inside quilted case, and engraved "Revlon" logo!
