SHOP STOP: Timeless on Melrose

“I don’t do fashion, I am fashion,” a famous quote by Coco Chanel is printed on the mirror right outside the dressing rooms – the perfect place where fashionistas, who come to shop here, are inspired.  This mantra immediately sets the tone for the type of shopping experience you are about to have.   

TIMELESS, with two stores on Melrose and one in Studio City, is our go-to place for the HOTTEST items of the moment.  No matter what kind of budget you’re on, this chic boutique has something for everyone.  While most stores on Melrose carry the same merchandise packed together from wall-to-wall, TIMELESS easily separates themselves from the herd.  They pride themselves on carrying a uniquely curated selection from local designers such as Z. HOVAK, COCO DE COEUR, MY VL and SEE YOU MONDAY.  On this trip, we saw these amazing red and navy STAR PRINT leggings, a NORDIC tank with a CORAL iconic Chanel logo, an UNEVEN HEM tank with DOTS and a boho OMBRE FRINGE top with peace sign…all completely on-trend and affordable!  We LOVE this spot because, even though, their collection is trendy, the items will never go out of style…they are TIMELESS.

BEAUTY: Get Inked with Chanel

When Karl Lagerfeld sent his first spring 2010 look down the runway back in October, everyone stared in awe at the chain link tattoos wrapped around model Heidi Mount’s wrists. Then, just like that, VOILA! next down the runway came another model sporting a tattoo around the wrist and then around the thigh, each girl dripping in fresh ink of the infamous logo. Our first reaction was to grab a Sharpie and start doodling on our legs or for some of you brave souls, to head to the famous SHAMROCK SOCIAL CLUB here in LA to get some permanent ink. However, for those of you left with an ounce of sanity, the Chanel store on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles is selling a less painful wait to rock the Chanel logo this season… transfer tattoos! Purchase a set of five sheets for only $75.00, talk about BABULOUS!
