HOUSE OF HARLOW- KITSON HAUL

I was up in L.A., and that means anytime I can swing it, I have to stop at Kitson on Robertson.  If you're a TMZ or Perez follower, you may have seen the photogs shooting video and pics of celebrity shoppers there.  They are always standing in front waiting.

Kitson is an amazing store.  It has all the new and hottest trends and designers.  Here's the link to the Kitson online website so you could take a look.   There are all price ranges too.   This time I was there for a special gift House of Harlow jewelry.  Nicole Richie was at my Bloomingdale's promoting her line, but were sold out by the time I got there.  

Let me say her jewelry is not only gorgeous, but it is real quality.  It's that heavy metal, where you feel like you're getting what you pay for.  All the pieces go together from all her collections.  This is what I ended up with:

House of Harlow 1960 - Women's  Black Sunburst Star Necklace

The little starburst sits in the back of your neck, so if you wear your hair up you have a jewel on your neck

House of Harlow 1960 - Tiger Eye Ring

House of Harlow - 1960 Pyramid Bangles in black & white

I would say her jewelry is mid-range starting in the $40- $100's.  I really am in love.  Her jewelry is beautiful wearing it together or even just 1 piece at a time.  What I also love, is that even though her collections change, they still fit together.  Look here to see more of her jewelry collection.


Have you seen or been to Kitson?  What do you think of Nicole Richi's line?

CCO-H&M-Drugstore/haul

My parents were in town, so we decided to hit up the Ontario Outlet's. 

First stop was the CCO.  There are so many great Mac products out from past collections.  They had the newest 2009 Holiday collection out too.  

Left: Highlight powder in Golden Nectar(Naked Honey col.)  Vibrant Grape (Style Warriors col.)

I wasn't interested when I first saw them at Mac, but I kept seeing vibrant grape on YT, and fell in love.  They had both the Highlight Powders, but I bought the darker one for spring/summer.  I thought it would be pretty for all over.

Next stop is H&M.  I am really into gold jewelry & these 2 gold ones were screaming for me.  I love the silver 1 too.  It's 3 rings in 1. All under $9.

This last one is a great drugstore  highlighter,  $4.  It's 4 shades of white/lavender/light pink/pink.  You can swirl them together or use them separately.  Honestly, I reach for this more than my Mac MSF's.  This isn't glittery like the Mac, it's a beautiful shimmer.  If you're fair, you could use this as a blush.

Have you seen the ads for H & M?  I love the dresses, so pretty.

SHOPPING in LA HAUL

My was visiting and one of the places we always go shopping in LA at Santee alley. They had some great deals & beautiful things. Santee Alley in in downtown LA & they have a bunch of little stores where you can find things for cheap. They have beautiful shoes, bags & jewelry. The last time I was there they had straighteners & clipless curling irons for $25. The shoes, boots & purse that came out as the fall trend were already out this summer. They also have tons of $1 jewelry.

I bought this purse for $25. It has a long & short strap & I love the details.

There was this guy there who was selling the CoastalScents palettes & he had these singles & the case. I picked my own colors for $18. I figured if the CS shadows work, these would be good too. When I go back, I'm going to get the blush palette.
I think these may be the Hot Pots. They are so pigmented & creamy. LOVE!
This jewelry is $1 a piece, The 2 stacks of bracelets $1 also. I always stock up when I'm there.
All the sunglasses were $5. Don't forget to negotiate. Usually if you get more than 1 thing, the price goes down. The shoes are $5-30. I need to get some more shoes!! they also have NYX for 30-50% less.

Have you been to the Alley? What is your favorite bargain find?

FOREVER 21 - HAUL

Forever 21 has so many cute things.  I always love their spring/summer clothes.  Today it was all about the jewelry.  I think all these go together. I can wear the necklaces separate or together. I love the earrings.  I have long hair, so the bigger the better.  I like to wear summer dresses or even just a T-Shirt & dress it up with jewlrey.

What's your favorite summer style?
