Kim Kardashian's 7 Must haves (and where to get them)!

We recently came across an article on the 7 must haves from Kim Kardashian's closet. We are a big fan of Kim's style and wanted to share this with our Clotheshound loves. 

However we took it one step futher. We want to show YOU where you can buy these 7 items and actually afford them.  Cause let's face it, not all of us have Kim's budget!

Clotheshound to Carry Paper Crown!



Clotheshound will be the VERY FIRST retailer in
Raleigh, NC to carry Lauren Conrad's new clothing line Paper Crown!
We are obviously super honored and excited
to have her line among our assortment. 
We will have quite a few pieces from her line up
on the website very soon! So stay tuned!

    
Meaning behind the name:

"When I was little I used to go to my grandmother's and we would always play dress-up; but when I would go there, I wouldn't have my dress-up trunk with me, so we'd make these paper crowns. That was our way of creating our own glamour—and that's what we wanted the line to be like." -LC





Inspiration:

On Her Inspiration For The Line: “When I was designing [the collection] I wanted to do pieces that could be worn lots of different ways—I think it’s nice to invest in pieces you can wear throughout a few seasons. It’s modern but not overly trendy. I wanted an overall romance feel to the line, balanced out with a couple tailored pieces for a slight menswear feel and the leather pieces to balance out the chiffons.” -LC







Music Monday: Sia "Breathe Me"

A little somber song for Music Monday in the aftermath of all those affected by the storm in NC!  Our prayers and thoughts to all those who lost their homes, businesses or lives.... Our deepest sympathies!
