"Karlify" your wardrobe

Finally, the waiting came to an end. And, as the saying goes, good things come to those wo wait. Yesterday, Karl Lagerfeld launched his new masstige line "KARL" at net-a-porter.com. As expected, Karl's trademark fingerless leather gloves (already sold out) are part of the accessible collection as well as his famous stiff shirt collars. They guarantee to instantly "Karlify" even the most demodé stylings. But beyond the tongue-in-cheek homages, you should really throw a glance at this wonderful 100-piece collection featuring biker vests, pleated skirts & tailored suits. And while the palette is foremost monochrome, the collection is punctuated with silver, sequins and pastel pink jackets. Just lovely.

Besides the usual garment, net-a-porter offers countdowns, apps and competitions with the chance to win £1000 to spend at net-a-porter.com. In addition, you can find a "Karlify" button that dresses your pictures up to the nine with the Kaiser's famous high collars and aviators, topped off with his groomed white coiffure. In the end, Lagerfeld chooses his favourite cyber-Karl who will win the coveted prize.

Lagerfeld launches new masstige line

Since Karl Lagerfeld stopped showing his signature collection on runway last year, he sort of took a back seat. But now he's back in the public eye with his new collection which will be available as of January 25. His coming line, named "Karl", is an 100-piece masstige women's collection priced at about $95 to $450 which is very low-budget for Lagerfeld. His intention:

"I just want not too expensive clothes that people may like and perhaps want to wear. That was my concept for a long time, but my business partners in the past wanted to be like Chanel or Fendi without putting behind what is needed to be like that ... Now I am feeling we are ready for the right job — the way to do things right in a modern, unusual way.”

In spite of the cheap rate, Lagerfeld abides by his design principles. The new collection is mostly targeted at teens and women in their early 20's. Therefore it's a mix of street and rock designs, leather, silvery jeans and cocktail dresses with plunging backs. Just ♥ it. Fortunately, the whole collection will be purchasable on Net-a-Porter. I am really thrilled and I can hardly wait to see Lagerfeld's latest masterpiece. So, maybe I can intesify your anticipation with this little video, starring Sui He and Anja Rubik.

These shoes are made for walking!

Since fall is coming, it's time to get your shoe cabinet ready for splashy, rainy days. Of course, without dispensing with the glamour. For this reason, I found some chic and warm alternatives for this dreary season.

Clog Boots

As you know, Clogs were already hip in summer and the designers found a way to transport their fancy look into fall. With gaiters, lambskin and earth-colored they are really fashionable and a must-have this season. Even Julianne Moore is wearing them.

Here, Michelle Williams accompanies Mathilda. This picture was made last year but clog boots are this season hipper than ever.

Now, you rightly ask - where can I buy them? And I got some alternatives for you:

This lovely one is by Ugg - but already sold out. Hopefully, they restock.

They're mainly by asos.com

Rubber boots

 I totally agree with you when you're of the opinion that rubber boots are something you need to get used to. They always remind me of my childhood stepping in muddy puddles. But "nowadays" you don't need puddles anymore. With their new designs they're way to stylish to use them only on rainy fall afternoons. Here are some glamorous examples how to wear and team them with your clothes.

Actually, Ashley Simpson looks a bit spooky in her black outfit. But her rubber boots are awesome.

It's getting colourful.

And also many stars demonstrate their extravagant rubber boots look.


Loafers

These stylish slip on shoes are very comfortable, classic and très chic. This season they are designed with a masculine touch.

Kate Moss, for instance, loves her "Jackson Loafers" by Repetto

Or some by Guess

Styled with a pantyhose and fur.

And of course classical penny loafers.

Last but not least: Lace up shoes.

 They look a little bit like you are going on a mountain climbing trip but the heels make them pretty sexy.

 Katy Perry teams her floral dress with lace-up shoes.

 Diane Kruger look-a-like Anne-Laure, a french fashion blogger, looks perfectly in here outfit.

Burberry Felt Fedora Hat, $275, available at Burberry; Deena and Ozzy Tiger Belt, $34, available at Urban Outfitters; Tory Burch Lace-up Leather Boots, $595, available at Net-a-Porter; A.L.C. V-neck T-shirt Dress, $97, available at La Garconne.

So, HAPPY SHOPPING.
