An Exciting New Craving Added to California Dinning.


The Stinking Rose, situated in the heart of Beverly Hills-California, has become a star on the famed Restaurant Row for celebrating the culinary euphoria of garlic. It's endless menu features a delectable California-Italian cuisine, including their signature dishes dominated by the piquant aroma of garlic. The Stinking Rose not only attracts attention with it's delicious menu but is also home to five different themed rooms carefully designed to give the customers an entertaining and inspiring experience.


For starters, there is "Dracula's Grotto" – a medieval hideaway – suitable for intimate meals and enjoying all the garlicky treats available. The "Michelangelo Room" features the restaurant's version of the artist's vulnerable creation in which Adam is handed a Garlic-Bulb by God. The third room, the "Piazza and Cafes," is located in the midst of all the themed rooms, offering customers a feel of old Italy and is best known for 'people-watching. The "Chianti Room" glows with relaxing candlelight and Tuscan tradition perfect for uncorking a great evening. Finally, the room that defines the whole restaurant: "Garlywood," which various colorful garlic inspired murals are found, all honoring our favorite Hollywood icon. 
 

Hope you share our enthusiasm when it comes to The Stinking Rose here in California. Be sure to share with us YOUR personal experience there!

BOTW: Bag of the Week!

It's that time of the week again! BOTW, where we feature a Charlie Lapson handbag we are loving at the moment.  This time we decided to change things up a bit.  As you have noticed, in past BOTW posts we have taken the  pictures inside our showroom and had an intern model the bag.  Well, the other day as we were walking the streets of Downtown, LA we spotted this super stylish girl carrying a brown Charlie Lapson handbag.  We love how she wore a white and black striped tee and jean shorts. She even matched her boots to her bag! 

The brown and black details on this purse are perfect, and adds a little "Fall "touch to the outfit
 This Charlie Lapson spotting in downtown sparked a great idea.  From now on we are going to be hitting the streets in search for our Bag of the Week!

Check back with us next week to see what stylish lady & Charlie bag we spot on the street!

BOTW: Bag Of The Week.














This two-toned violet colored purse celebrates two distinct textures. The darker tone is the croc-skin texture and the other lighter one is a pebble-texture. In our opinion, crocodile skin accessories never goes out of style, its timeless and instant glam! The pebble-texture adds a fun and easy touch to this bag. Small touches and distinct details like the one in this bag can make or break an accessory. Its perfect from taking any plain look to instant chic.

The unique Charlie Lapson design can be worn during the day on a shopping spree or after dark when out on a casual night with friends. The various compartments inside the bag helps a woman store all her cherished accessories, make-up needs and important materials.



 Our beautiful intern Nareh completes her sophisticated look with a touch of glam by adding this Charlie Lapson bag to her outfit.
 


















As always, follow us on twitter and facebook for daily updates, tips, and trends that we're loving here at the Charlie Lapson showroom.

Trend to Try: Lady Like

runway pictures from fashionising.com

A fall trend we are currently loving and dying to try this season is the "Lady Like" trend.  This trend takes soft tones of blush pinks, camels, warm browns and pairs them with feminine silhouettes.   Our favorite look here at Charlie Lapson showroom is the nude full skirt pictured above.  The good news is that in order to incorporate this fabulous trend into your daily wardrobe you do not have to go out in search of a full skirt.  A very simple way to translate this runway trend into your daily outfits is by choosing a handbag with a similar look and feel.  Take a look below to see a couple of handbags we have picked out from the Charlie Lapson showroom that will give any outfit that refined "Lady Like" vibe we love right now.

The Charlie Lapson "Palladia" bag

The Charlie Lapson "Teodora" bag

Tell us what other fall trends you are excited about, and check back with us next week for a new "Trend to Try", and don't forget to follow us on twitter and facebook for instant updates!
have a fab day!

BOTW: Bag Of The Week

It's Bag of the Week time again! Over the past few weeks we've been choosing mainly soft leather bags so this week we decided to pick patent leather! This bag is perfect for the fall season. We love the glossy, shiny finish this bag has. It makes such a bold statement when paired with any outfit. This goes great with a formal look and you can even use it to add a little bit of jazz to a casual outfit.

Our lovely intern Nareh modeling the bag!


What we love most about this bag is the silver pyramid studs that appear throughout the bag. It gives it a rocker chic appeal. If you want to add a little bit of an edge to your outfit, a patent leather bag may be the thing for you!
