Cupcakes and Cashmere

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.

    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!

    And thanks for such an awesome comment, you totally made my day! I’d be honored to trade links, consider yourself added. :)

    It does look cool!
    I also always take my time when shopping. I wouldn’t want to miss a piece, so my record so far has been 2 hrs in Zara. Without any trying on.
