A little
while ago, I posted on my Facebook and Twitter pages how trilled I was with the
last Marie Claire Spain November magazine issue which was chief edited by Karl
Lagerfeld for magazine's 25th anniversary.
I usually don't buy Marie Claire on a
regular basics but since for a past year and a half I am trying to learn Spanish I have
been purchasing more and more of Spanish fashion magazines. This particular November issue attracted me both with its amazing cover photo, lovely
stories and fashion spreads as well as the 25th anniversary gift – this stylish
KARL by Karl Lagerfeld canvas tote.
In preparing this post I dedicated some time to research this fairly young brand and brows through its FW 2013. collection available exclusively on Net-a-porter and it took me about 4 minutes to run to get my credit card. Ouu yes...I am hooked on Karl.
This is
Karl Lagerfeld's second collection for lower-priced line Karl by Karl
Lagerfeld. The Kaiser Karl has launched sophisticated and edgy mix of clothing
and accessories available for online purchase via Net-a-porter.
Like Lagerfeld’s
first collection for Karl, this new collection offers a feminine twist on the
designer’s signature personal style: There are sharp tuxedo jackets,
embellished crisp white collars, and, of course, studded leather gloves. The
collection is predominately black and white, but Lagerfeld also included a
lovely miniature camouflage print and red stand out coat as well as some silver
and gold stand out pieces. Most of the items are within a price range from $50
to $1000, so collection is as last year quite possible to sell out soon.
Iconic London
department store Selfridges was where two collections from the fashion brand including
KARL MAN + WOMAN and newly launched premium line KARL LAGERFELD PARIS MAN and KARL LAGERFELD PARIS WOMEN debuted.
Bellow are
my favorite pieces from KARL collection, couple of these are already on their
way to me J
KARL'S lower
priced as well as his premium lines are available for purchase exclusively via www.Net-a-porter.com women's lines and www.LuisaViaRoma.com men's lines. Lagerfeld launched pop-up-stores on 3rd floor
of Selfridges but also at Luisa Via Roma and St Tropez which closed earlier this October.
Saint Tropez pop-up-store offered
holiday makers the opportunity to discover – besides the beach line collection
developed exclusively for that place – a selection of ready to wear items for
the KARL and KARL LAGERFELD PARIS lines. Last pop-up-store opened was at
Bleecker Street in New York.

How do you like the new KARL brand lovelies? Do you find it wearable and affordable for your style and budget?
When I still lived in NYC,
Free People store was one of those I visited on a regular, if nothing else at
least to window shop and get styling inspirations. Pieces I find myself buying
most often are turquoise silver jewelry, vegan leather pants, shorts, dresses
and jackets as well as tights and leggings, thermal shirts and maxi cotton
dresses. Last time I checked out the page there were also a couple of cute
pairs of shoes.
Since some of the top 10
fashion brands which I adore (i.e. Rugby RL) do not deliver to Croatia yet
(unless I ask some of my friends who still work there to buy it and ship it to
me) I was thrilled to find out that Free People actually do! The shipping cost
is not bad at all, especially if you order more pieces at a time.
Here are some of my favorite
pieces and looks.
I would totally recommend to
every city girl to check out Free People collections, cause at first I thought
of the brand as being a bit to hippy for my personal taste but after buying
couple of little things I kept coming back.
Although my personal style
is somewhere in between Audrey Hepburn and rocker-chic, or to be quite honest
totally bipolar at times, I tend to find bunch of fashion forward pieces of a
good quality, quite comfortable and fairly priced here.
While many things I buy when
discounted mostly due to cost of shipping and most of the times they do have my
size left at seasons end.
