Notes On: House of Harlow 1960

I've always disliked the following:
-the description "boho chic"
-celebrities who think they're designers
-earrings

I know the last one is sort of strange for someone who sells jewelry. I just feel like my head looks weird when I wear earrings, and I absolutely abhor anything that resembles a chandelier earring on anyone.

So, when I heard that Nicole Richie was designing jewelry, I was skeptical to say the least. It's not that I don't love her. I've been a huge fan since I first saw her sticking her hand up a cow's ass on The Simple Life. She's hilarious, gorgeous and sort of seems to have her life together, but those qualities don't equal a designer.

Apparently, I unfairly judged N.Richie because I'm currently typing this post while wearing a House of Harlow cocktail ring, some HoH stack bangles, a HoH super long locket and HoH earring. Yes, earrings. I don't know if I have the courage to wear them out in public, yet. However, I used them to re-pierce my holes, and I think they almost look cute. I still refuse to describe the collection as boho chic. However, I do think that it has a look that can be described as bohemian and will look great accessorized with your fall wardrobe!

House of Harlow 1960 is available in store at Atticus or by phone at 608.204.9001.

What Are You Wearing?

I chose today as the day to debut my Fall treat to myself: a recycled fox fur vest! It's my first fur, and I would like to stress to all of you animal rights people out there that it is RECYCLED. I'm not sure exactly what it's recycled from, but I know for certain that, as a wise person once put it, "no additional foxes were harmed in the making of this vest."

Anyway, today I'm wearing:

-Aude burnout tee
-Frye engineer boots
-Daryl K *recycled* fox fur vest

What are you wearing?

Something You'll Love

Apparently, it's the time of year for parties. It's been a busy, blurry and flipping fantastic fall so far. However, I don't need to be reminded of last night's antics by the smell of whiskey and mac&cheese on my skin.

The solution: Kai Body Buffer $36

The package includes 2 sponges that, when wet, release foaming bubbles of the signature Kai scent that every girl loves.
