Sole Mates: J.Crew x Manolo Blahnik

17 Feb

Oh Em Gee. While catching up on all the latest from New York Fashion Week, I read this article from WWD that confirms J.Crew and Manolo Blahnik are joining fashion forces! Talk about a power couple.

The word officially hit the runway at J.Crew’s Fall ‘12 fashion presentation, where editors, bloggers, buyers, and photographers got the first peek at the pointy-toe pumps. The Crew x Blahnik collab will feature 41 styles, which, in true Jenna Lyons fashion, will include bold colors, tweed, suede, and glitter.

No word yet on when the shoes will be available, but they’re expected to sell online and in select J.Crew stores. The price tag? $595 to $645. Better start saving my Benjamins.

Biker Babe: Christopher Kane Neon Pink Biker Jacket

8 Feb

I have an obsession with motorcycle  jackets and vests. (See previous KARL post for proof.) I didn’t think the classic leather biker jacket could get much cooler, but this neon pink biker jacket by Christopher Kane (my current designer crush) takes the standard model to a whole new level of badass.

A little bit rock star, a little bit rebel, a little bit Parisian chic, it’s tough and pretty. And I so want it.

Wu-Hoo! Jason Wu for Target Hits Stores Tomorrow

4 Feb

Sure, the Super Bowl is tomorrow, but the real reason I’m excited for Sunday? It’s the day Jason Wu for Target officially hits stores, and I want to be smack-dab in the middle of that fashion action.

If I wake up early enough (note to self: set alarm clock!), I’m hoping to score the Jason Wu for Target black pleated skirt, navy floral skirt + sleeveless top with sheer panel, poplin dress in navy, and flared dress in cream.

Looks from Jason Wu for Target

Yes, Jason Wu for Target Sunday is sure to be no less exciting–or dramatic–than the big game. A few competitive shoppers may even tackle each other over the last remaining Jason Wu blouse…
