Attn: LA shoppers, theres a new Chanel in town

Just when we thought the trendy Robertson Blvd. was getting tired, a major player joins the street. The retail store is said to be an abbreviated version of the main store, only offering younger styles, nail polish and makeup. Sounds like a more fun version!



The LA times describes it as:

"The concept behind the mini store -- designed by Peter Marino, who is also responsible for Chanel's stunning Rodeo Drive revamp -- is to present a tightly edited selection of the season's pieces, including ready-to-wear, fine jewelry, accessories and cosmetics, similar to what a shrewd fashion editor might handpick for a photo shoot, said Barbara Cirkva, president of Chanel's fashion division. Merchandisers may focus on a certain color scheme or a trendy silhouette or handbag within the larger collections."

Store open now. Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles.

Love at first sight....

Today, Josef and I went for a stroll along Mount st. in Mayfair, popping into Balenciaga and Christian Louboutin. Just for fun I decided to try on a pair of ultra Spring 2008 strappy zipped heels.



435 GBP, arent they lovely!

5 inches sounds a bit daunting for a heel, but the platform makes it easy to take long and comfortable strides! With me at 5'8, these shoes put me in at 6'1. Its a good thing I like tall men!
