The smarter way to buy from the USA

Kohl’s is something of a household name in the USA. The one stop shop for value and totally trendy clothing for women, men, kids and babies. They also stock a mean collection in furniture and decor.

Kohl's Website

Style Monitor at BundleBox was interested today to hear that the one and only Britney Spears has designed her own clothing collection for Candies, one of the concessions at Kohl’s. Unable to decide how we felt about this, we had to have a peek.

Britney Spears Collection for Candies at Kohl's

The collection is pretty girlie and pink, although we did find a few cute summer dresses perfect for summer holidays. With prices starting from around $25 it could be a good time to sample Ms Spears design wares! Kohl’s also has a section entitled ‘As Seen on Entertainment Tonight’.

Kohl's As Seen On ET!

The collections available here focus on those classic separates spotted on celebrities seen on Entertainment tonight. We liked the simple fitted t-shirts and light weight jackets.

Fitted T-Shirt from $20

And also the super stylish and comfortable Sonoma open back Sandals ($18).

Sonoma Sandals $18

We will be teaming these gorgeous feet must haves with a light and floaty summer dress!

Everyone loves to add their own touch of originality to something they love. It gives it your own style of personality. The interesting concepts conceived at Colorware in the USA means you can customise your own Apple laptop or even iPad!

Coloeware Customised Laptops

We were particularly taken by the palette of colours to choose from. With prices starting from $20 for each section of customisation, we have a feeling we might get carried away! At Colorware you can either buy the computer on the site or there is also the option to send your own in to be customised.

This week BundleBox is delighted to introduce you to the lovely June Denton.

Our lovely perfume buying Bundleer, June Denton

When she is not working, June who is Scottish by birth is kept busy with her four amazing sons and three lovely grandchildren. We wanted to find out more about what she buys from the USA!

Hi June, When and why did you start shopping from the USA?

For the last ten years I have been fortunate to have worked and visited the USA every year and have enjoyed a different type of shopping experience.  Initially I was able to use stores not here in the UK such as Saks, Barneys, Banana Republic and Abercrombie & Fitch.  Now that our client base is firmly in the UK we do not have the same opportunities to save money and experience the huge choice that is on offer in the USA.  For a while it was my perfume, Fracas,  that was the biggest problem as I could only buy it in the USA as it had been withdrawn from Europe (even though it was a French scent) – so friends would help out in securing it for me.  Now it is so much simpler.

Fracas French Perfume $98

 

 

 

What have you been buying recently?

I buy a wide range of goods all the time.  I have recently purchased a Professional level Kitchen Aid mixer, magformers, serious skincare from Perricone, jewellery, clothes and books.  I would say my regular purchases are from Levengers the stationery people, books and ebooks and probably expensive skincare which is cheaper in the USA.

Kitchen Aid Mixer from $349

 

 

 

 What advice would you give to someone starting to shop from the USA for the first time?

Do not get carried away.  Work out the real costs to you getting the item in your hands.  I have often gone for the model up or bulk buying because it is in reality more cost effective.

Perricone Skin Care Products

 

 

 

Do you have your eye on anything in particular to buy next?

The latest edition of the Barnes and Noble Nook.

Well funny you should say that June as BundleBox has already alerted Bundleers to this super-cool product in our blog!!

Barnes & Noble Nook $149

Thanks June!!

Having met Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of a movie in the early 1990s, Sarah and Patricia struck up a friendship based around a shared sense of fashion style and when SJP was offered the coveted role of Carrie Bradshaw in the hit US Sitcom, she could think of nobody better than Patricia Field to style her and the rest of the cast. The success of the Carrie Style has carried magazine and newspaper headlines the world over as ladies flocked to imitate her looks.
