Karl by Karl Lagerfeld launched on Net-A-Porter ... we're obsessed!

Karl Lagerfeld’s latest clothing line Karl is now available on Net-A-Porter! The collection is oh-so wearable and has the signature Lagerfeld look we’ve seen in his iconic designs for Chanel – think neutral black and whites, metallic and a grunge-meets-glamour feel. But the most exciting thing about his line? The affordable price range!

The celebrated designer’s diffusion line features 100 pieces priced from $100 to $1000 and has a focus on urban style, with a heavy emphasis on denim and leather pieces. Natalie Massenet, Net-A-Porter's founder and executive chairman, told Vogue: 'From the moment we saw the collection we were hooked... The collection will speak to every woman who wants a bit of the inimitable fabulous street chic that Karl Lagerfeld is known for.'

 A second collection, Karl Lagerfeld Paris, will be available later this year, with a price range of $300 to $2500. With the price hike comes a greater selection – the collection includes 300 pieces of both women and menswear. If the success of Lagerfeld’s 2004 collection for H&M is anything to go by, expect big things from the designer’s latest diffusion lines.

 Check out a few of our favourite looks from the collection below.

Calling all brides...check out Savvy Brides new store!

Calling all Brides to Be!

We are talking about that ever so important thing when it comes to your wedding…your dream dress!

By now you have probably done your research, printed out heaps of pics, torn out ones from mags and even been to see some designers and tried on many dresses. You may even have found ‘the one’ but I encourage you to take a chance and stop in at ‘Savvy Brides’ new store located at 357 New South Head Road on the corner of Manning Road in Double Bay. They have a large range of preloved and sample wedding gowns from top bridal designers like Vera Wang, Johanna Johnson, Oscar De La Renta, Lisa Gowing, Johanna Johnson and Steven Khalil all at heavily discounted prices.

You had better be quick as with all good finds, the good ones get snapped up quickly!

Not all the gowns here have been worn before, sometimes a bride may order a dress and then her circumstances change so she can’t wear her dress such as she falls pregnant, does not choose to get married or simply finds another dress more suitable…therefore what better way than to give that beautiful dress up for another bride to wear, at Savvy Brides.

Seriously, it’s worth it to make an appointment! Check out her website www.savvybrides.com.au
