I finally have a shredded tee. Shampalove.com sent this one to me, and I immediately shredded it some more. I guess I could have worn a strapless bra, huh? Quite frankly, I really didn’t care. The grungier the better. Paired it with boyfriend...

I always look forward to seeing Balmain collections, which seems to get better with each season. It’s a given that I can’t afford the pieces, but it’s beautiful to look and draw inspiration from. If it were affordable, I’d...

For the shapes, colors, prints and outside the box thinking, I love Balenciaga’s spring 2012 collection. The sculptured silhouettes still appear wearable and sophisticated. The pants are incredibly well cut and look flattering. Also loving the...

I am so grateful and happy that H&M sent me this tunic. It is definitely high up there on my ‘favorites’ list. Love the prints, the fabric and it’s like.. the perfect length. Yeah, the 2nd pic totally captures my excitement....

Saw this Madame magazine spread and was immediately drawn to the colors and shapes. Was even more impressed to find out that these were “Paper Dresses” created by Matthew Brodie. He designed a whole collection of paper dress and crafted his own...

I have been staring at this collection everyday since I received the pictures in my inbox. Finally decided to share. The Louis Vuitton Cuir Indra Collection was seen in the Fall Winter 2011 Menswear Show. Yeah, they are really for the guys, but you...

I shared in this post A White & Glitter Affair that I’m not only craving white for fall/winter, but gold and silver as well. Technically, we don’t have winter in LA, but it’s fun to say it and enjoy the perks of each season. A...

First of all, can I just say that I have never see rain boots look so freaking sexy?! They almost remind me of these Givenchy pair I posted a couple of years ago. At Milan Fashion Week, DSquared2 designers Dean and Dan Caten paid homage to music...

If you haven’t noticed, I have a tiny obsession with prints and loud colors. OK, maybe it’s not so tiny.. Like everything else that it seems like I collect, clothing and accessories in aztec prints are inclusive. Thought I’d share...

OK, so these are not really pants – It’s a jumpsuit, but I will never wear it as that. This is the only piece I purchased from the Missoni for Target collaboration, and it was by chance. All along, I only wanted a pair of pants, or maxi...

It was great fun to watch the Made in Africa Arise Show at NYFW live from my computer. Job well done to Arise Magazine for making this possible. Hope you have enjoyed the designers featured. We are finishing off with Jewel by Lisa. The first...

Another favorite from Made in Africa Arise Show during NYFW,  LDA also known as Lanre Da Silva Ajayi is known for her structured vintage pieces. She mostly draws inspiration from 40s and 50s couture. I love her use of lace here. The color palettes,...

Today, we are shining the spotlight on three of our favorite designers that showed at NYFW Made in Africa by Arise Magazine. It is important to note that all the designers were outstanding and creative. However, we are featuring the three that stood...

More images of the H&M + Versace collaboration has surfaced on the internet. Specifically via Vogue Russia. I really hope this does not end up like the Missoni for Target ordeal. Everything was gone in less than two hours and I only ended up...

Last week, I attended the Manolo Blahnik event and a few of you asked me what I wore. Well, here it is. Snapped a few pics before I left. It has been cold in LA lately, so I have dusted my sweater storage. Time to put them to use. …and you are...

I’m loving all the glitters this season. As mentioned in this post, I am dedicated to wearing sequin and glitters this fall (and beyond). I have been collecting them for some years now, and just like leopard print, you can never have enough...

Sep 26, 2011

Judging from the Gucci SS 2012 collection, all that is golden and glitters will be a big trend for the upcoming season. Glitz, glamour, flapper dresses and tuxedo trousers were some of the highlights of this line and walking the runway for Milan...

Hello, lovies.. I’m still so humbled and excited that I was nominated for the Chictopia Influential Blogger of the Year Award. It’s the last week and voting ends this coming Friday, September 30th. If you haven’t logged on to...

Style Pantry friend, rock mom, and amazing stylist, June Ambrose has teamed up with VH1 for a half-hour docu-series. “The June Ambrose Project,” (working title) is scheduled to premiere in early 2012. Ambrose has styled and designed for some...

So freaking glad it’s Friday. I’m going to try to pamper myself today. Starting with a little mani/pedi. I tend to get excited about trying a new nail polish color. I bought a pretty blue from Essie a couple of days ago – I will...

Yesterday, I was invited to Neiman Marcus to meet George Malkemus, the President of Manolo Blahnik and to preview the spring 2012 collection. It was such a fun, exciting time. Mr. Malkemus is so cool and down to earth. He sat with me to talk about...

This is a dream come true. Literally. Russian architects (Arch Group) recently completed the first of their tiny hotel rooms for napping at airports. Currently at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, the sleepbox contains two beds and can be rented for...

Last week, I shared an album on my facebook page. It was a peek at the pieces H&M sent me from their Fall/Winter 2011 collection and 70s Chic Collection. The shirt in this post here, is from the 70s collection. I got numerous requests about this...

Sep 22, 2011

Hey, who said we couldn’t lust over luxury brands and pieces straight off the runway, eh? If anything, we can always draw inspiration, right? I am completely loving campaign for YSL Fall 2011. Staring Raquel Zimmermann and directed by Inez Van...

Sep 22, 2011

The Elle magazine editorial featuring model Lisa Akesson blew me away with the first picture showcasing the luscious green hat and body con dress. The pose & silhouette reminds me of one that should be on the album cover of any popular female...

Sep 21, 2011

I love this tunic from H&M. It actually comes with matching pants and I plan on wearing both pieces together someday. Maybe have it look like a jumpsuit? You can see how I wore the pants here many months ago. Today I paired it with these plaid...

Sep 21, 2011

I am craving white for fall/winter. Particularly ‘white & gold’ or ‘white & silver’. So here are the pieces I will be wearing this season, and some shoes I have purchased to go with them. The perfect white suit. I...

Sep 21, 2011

This not only leopard print heaven, but boho, sheer, aztec, 70s.. Everything I love in one. The shoot style by Alexandra Sherman and photographed by Daniel Kincaid, is a 70s year book theme. The models are Olivia Gordon and Amanda Smith. I’m...

Sep 20, 2011

So today I’m dressed in American Apparel. Yup, my blouse and skirt are a gift from AA’s fall collection. I’m wearing this Chiffon Puff Sleeve Blouse in dent de lion. (I wore the tahiti here in the post). I don’t think you can...

Style Pantry  follows Harrods of London updates on twitter, and each time there’s a tweet about the Chanel massive takeover on the 3rd floor of the Iconic mega shop, we can’t help but wonder how fab the presentation looks. In fact, some...
