Gypsy Junkies + Luxurious Poverty Pop-Ups

There's a lot happening over at Kitson right now. In addition to the NCLA Nail a la Carte fab-ness, a few additional designer pop-ups have claimed stake inside the Robertson Blvd flagship store.

Last week I attended the Gypsy Junkies pop-up launch inside the store, to peep the much coveted fall collection while sipping red wine and mingling with Creative Director, Marcus Paglialonga (seen above surrounded by the F/W collection).

I was familiar with Gypsy Junkies luxe velvets, furs and floral prints, but was surprised to find that they also offer an amazing line of bohemian jewelry. The perfect combination, of earth and edge. Like, I want them all.

Loved discovering another side of Gypsy Junkies!

Unbeknownst to me, another line was also celebrating their pop-up launch inside Kitson that night. And so, I was introduced to Luxurious Poverty, by Lisette Correa. It's a collection of jewelry that -in the designer's own words- "spreads love through art", donating 5% of all proceeds to various charities and non-profit organizations.

A few of Lisette's Hollywood friends came by to support, which is how I ended up having a near panic attack when L.A. Clippers' Matt Barnes showed up. Gloria Govan, cast member of Basketball Wives: LA (and Matt's wife) was also there. Being as sweet as she was (I was even invited to attend her toy drive taking place later that night), I had to resist all urges to snatch up the tall and dashing man in front of me. But I'll always think my moment with him fondly.

Pop-ups are at Kitson until January!
