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.

New Online Shop: Rad And Refined

I always love discovering new shops, especially online. For those of us who don’t always have time to shop brick-and-mortar (which I do try my best to make my rounds at least once a month), it’s so convenient to find one-stop shops, especially online. And thankfully…there’s Rad and Refined.

Photobucket
Coolest part about this site (besides the sick merchandise of course)? It’s founded by 24-year-old Chicago native, Jacqueline Rezak. It all started with her blog that consists of images she found to be rad and refined. And as of December 2011 (yes, just last month), this turned into a full blown store appropriately named Rad and Refined.

The name says it all…it’s a curated selection of edgy (rad) and classic (refined) fashion, all in one place. Carrying an array of designers, both Chicago and LA-based, this shop caters to a wide audience. Shop designers like Wildfox Couture, Dana Rebecca, and WGACA Vintage. And if you happen to be in the LA area, you can make an appointment to try on the clothes yourself.

Stilettos Shoe Boutique Launches Online Shopping

Growing up in the ‘burbs, I have to give a shout out to a great shoe boutique in Buffalo Grove–Stilettos. They recently launched their online boutique so you don’t have to be in the suburbs to get some great shoes!

The mother-and-daughter owners of Stilettos started the boutique because they realized there wasn’t a trendy shoe store in the Northern suburbs. And in May 2010, Stilettos was born! They’ve only been open a year and half and already have a trusted following. Their customer base ranges from 13 to 75, which proves that there really is something for everyone.

Be sure to check out StilettosBoutique.com and get shopping!

Chi City Closet: Tory Burch Blazer & Clutch

Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the new Tory Burch store on Oak Street. Everyone that works there is especially friendly and fun, so I highly recommend checking it out. Plus, they have this amazing couch upstairs that I would purchase in a second if it was for sale!

Thanks to Tory Burch and Chicago Blogger Network, I got this great metallic blazer (that could not fit more perfectly by the way) and vibrant orange patent clutch. These were the first items I noticed in the store. I tried them on with what I was wearing (see below) and although they don’t really go together, they kind of do at the same time. So I’m very excited to welcome these new items into my Chi City Closet!
