Shop Net-a-Porter Under $250

With pretty much everyone having a major sale right now (most of which are in the process of winding down…so get those purchases in), it can be overwhelming. To me, the most exciting sales to shop are the high end designer sales because let’s be honest…nothing feels better than scoring those Atwoods you’ve had your eye on at half off (or more). So I scoured my favorite luxury site Net-a-Porter to find you the best sale shoes, jewelry and handbags under $250.

Karl Lagerfeld Black Diamond Collar

If you’re like the biggest Karl Lagerfeld fan ever (and have $37,500 to spare) then you’re going to love this! If you are in different about Karl and live on a budget, I suggest you keep reading anyway…

Net-a-Porter has partnered with Karl Lagerfeld to create a one-of-a-kind diamond pavé and leather collar, featuring over 40 carats of black diamonds and a 22.33 carat hydrothermal emerald at the neck. Yes, this is real and it’s available exclusively on Net-a-Porter.com. The collar will also be exhibited at Masterpiece London as part of Carol Woolton’s ‘Brilliant’ exhibition from June 28th until July 4th. The collar comes with a sketch signed by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as a donation to CLIC Sargent. I also hope this comes with Karl’s cat, Choupette.

Creatures of the Wind on Net-a-Porter

As someone who obsessively checks “what’s new” on Net-a-Porter just about everyday (even though I know new items are only posted Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) I was beyond excited to see they recently picked up Creatures of the Wind. COTW Designers Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters graduated from SAIC in Chicago and it’s amazing to see their growing success in the fashion scene. Although I don’t know them personally, I’m so proud to see such success coming from Chicago-native designers. Always love a good boost to our fashion reputation in this city :)

Big things to come from this design duo in the future! Check it out…

Net-a-Porter Launches Karl Lagerfeld’s New Line, KARL

If you’re Net-a-Porter obsessed like me, you probably know by now that Karl Lagerfeld is launching his accessible line, KARL, to be exclusively sold on the luxury site today!

To celebrate the launch, Net-a-Porter has gone above and beyond to make this extremely special. The coolest part is that there will be 5  pop-up window shops that will be revealed in select locations worldwide. Using the NET-A-PORTER KARL app, visitors can shop and win by scanning products using their iPhone or iPad. In addition, visitors to the window shop will receive limited edition KARL goodie bags and t-shirts, with the first 50 visitors receiving a pair of iconic KARL leather gloves or a collar from the collection. Here’s where it’s happening…

Those of us who can’t make it to one of the locations can join online at Net-a-Porter.com. You can watch exclusive video footage of Karl Lagerfeld, view the full collection for the first time and find out the winners of the “Karlified” app and ‘Find Karl’ maze game.

Net-a-Porter + Refinery29 Chicago Event

Last week I attended quite the stylish soiree at Sable with Refinery29 and Net-a-Porter. It happened to be the last nice day we’d have for a while. So being around great people with delicious food with some decent January Chicago weather…let’s just say it was a pretty good time.

Yesterday Refinery29 posted some pics from the party and they even featured my custom PS1 I wore that night.

Check out Refinery29′s slideshow of the event photos, plus here’ a few of my own below (clearly taken on my iPhone).
