Since I’ve been really good about limiting my shopping lately, I haven’t done a haul video in ages. Then a little website called Hautelook.com made it’s way into my life. For those who have never heard of it, Hautelook is a shopping site that hosts daily private sales where awesome designer brands offer some pretty amazing deals on their merchandise. Think brands like Juicy Couture, Coach, Hello Kitty by Kimora Lee Simmons, Seven jeans and more. I can’t decide if it’s good or bad, but either way I’ve gotten my hands on some really amazing designer goodies for up to 80% off in some cases. Check out what I got below!

PS- Since I know many of you are gonna ask, I’m not being compensated to mention Hautelook in any way. The reason I’m talking about the site is simple – I really like it. All the items mentioned were purchased with my own hard earned money and I was not paid to make this video. Though if someone WANTS to pay me, I would be more than happy to accommodate. Cuz hey, I’m here to make people happy!

I’m gonna keep this short and sweet as I’m still exhausted from Bay to Breakers this weekend and am in desperate need of some sleep. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this time honored Bay Area tradition, it’s a yearly race through San Francisco were people get drunk and run in crazy costumes. Or in nothing at all. Which is why I get drunk frankly. It’s the only way to forgot what a fat, hairy 40-year-old man sprinting through the street looks like. While I go find my brain bleach, you guys check out my favorites video then see where to get all these awesome products below.

It took a few weeks, but I finally found the right orange lip combination for us olive/tan skinned girls who otherwise may not be able to wear the Spring trend. I have a few other versions that worked fairly well, but this pearlescent made my skin glow like the light of a thousand fairies. Or just glow like I had on a really good bronzer, whatever. In any case, check out the tutorial and the list of products I used below. Then go out into the world with your shiny orange lips knowing you look good guuuuurl!

Girls like me look at shoes the way most men look at porn. In fact, shoes ARE my porn. I just can’t get enough – especially when it comes to heels, platforms, cute prints and sparkles. This week I added two new pairs to the collection hiding deep in my closet and away from the prying eyes and sticky fingers of my shoe crazy friends and family. But since these are particularly amazing I thought I wold give everyone a glimpse of the newest additions to Jackie’s shoe closet:

I love these because the look is SO pin-up. And they’re unbelievably comfortable thanks to the platform – I wore these to work yesterday and lasted a good 6 hours before they started to hurt, which in girl world is amazing. I picked them up at a discount shoe store called OffBroadway for about $34, and it was money well spent as I can wear these regularly and they’ll pretty much match with any solid.

I’m in love with these because they remind me of something Mariah Carey would wear – super high and super sparkly. These are Madden Girl, and I got an amazing deal on them – also at OffBroadway. I originally got a pair as a gift for my cousins birthday, but they’re so fabulous I had to go back and get a pair for myself. And since I had some frequent spender cash saved up (ha) I payed a fraction of the price for these – about $12!

I’m done shoe shopping for a while since I need to start saving money, but these will keep me sated until the urge strikes again. Aaaaaah shoes, how I love thee. Wait…did someone say…shoes???
