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.

Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2012: A Work Of Art

I think it’s obvious by now I live by the 3 Ps: Prabal, Proenza…and pizza. So we’re going to break it down one P at a time and focus on Prabal right now, specifically Prabal’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection…which by the way is a work of art.

From structured separates to feminine dresses, this collection is versatile not only in the silhouettes but in the prints and colors as well. Although some may fear a print, the ones seen here in Prabal’s Pre-Fall ’12 collection are easy to fall in love with. According to Style.com, Prabal was influenced by India for this collection and not the “obvious India,” but more of the “muddy India” that most don’t think about. Who knew that this insanely gorgeous collection would ever be influenced by a muddy country?

From the impeccably constructed clothes, to the perfect styling, and everything in between…this was a [yet another] WIN for Prabal Gurung (even though I’m still obsessing over Spring ’12) and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next month at fashion week. And although it was nearly impossible to decide, here are my favorite looks from Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2012.

And on a side note…if anyone knows when/where/if these sunglasses and shoes will be available? Please notify me immediately. Thank you 🙂

Currently Obsessing Over: Valentino Studs

Valentino does 2 things really well: red and bows. Studs were added to the mix a couple seasons ago and it’s become so popular, the brand has continued to incorporate them into many of their newest accessories.

I had my eye on the Rockstud dome bag for months. I looked at it every time I went into Nordstrom. Then I was pretty bummed when I stopped seeing it (I assumed it was sold out). But thanks to my amazing mother, she happened to snag one up for me for Christmas (seen here). So besides this stunning bag, here’s some other studded Valentino pieces I’m currently obsessing over…

Studded leather and lace T-bar pumps

Studded leather belt

Studded Leather Headband

Studded leather driving gloves

Studded snow boots…these are the ultimate

What are your favorite pieces from the studded Valentino collection?

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

It’s that time again…where it’s appropriate to wear red and green at the same time (outside of color block season), where you’ve spent way too much money (on both yourself and others…I know I’m not the only one), and where gaining 5-10 lbs is 100% appropriate (right??). It’s Christmas!!! (or “the holidays” to be PC)

I started with this…

And ended with this…

And I can’t wait to see what you all end up with! So anyway I’d love to wish you the happiest of all holidays. I hope you gave/get some kick ass presents. But most importantly, be sure to do at least one good deed for someone else this holiday season. Not everyone gets to celebrate in style, so no matter how you do it… just let someone know you’re thinking of them 🙂

I’ll be doing Christmas “suburban style” this weekend so we’ll chat on Twitter and reconvene Monday. What are you doing to celebrate?
