Blonde Ambition

June 17th, 2008

Blonde LA is one of those stores to which I dedicate entire Saturday mornings/afternoons. The drive, in itself, takes about 40 minutes (which is embarrassing enough), but then once I arrive, it takes me an absurdly long time to dissect what most would consider to be a tiny store.  Thankfully, their website is a great resource, and provides an extensive list of all of the under-the-radar labels that are offered in the store.  Though most of the pieces are on the pricier side, one can also stumble across affordable little gems like Indah’s White/Grey Tube Top, for only $56.  I love the sharp contrast in patterns between the white top and the tribal-inspired print beneath.  I can imagine wearing this over some jeans at night, swiping on some black eye liner, and throwing on some metallic flats for a low-key, slightly dressed up look.  My Saturday morning has officially been planned.

  1. I know just what you mean, I take forever no matter where I shop. What if the prettiest, most affordable thing in the store is hidden in the absolute last spot!
