On Friday I got a very exciting email from net-a-porter inviting me to the launch of KARL by Karl Lagerfeld for net-a-porter on January 25th in New York City. I hastily asked for the day off and thankfully it was granted! At first I thought it was an exclusive event because my email said to RSVP, but then I got a general email in the form of a net-a-porter newsletter and it is actually an open event, so you guys can go too! There are pop-up store locations in 5 countries, I posted the information below.
The only problem is to shop the collection you need an app on your iPhone or iPad 2 and I have neither...it may finally be time for me to bite the bullet and buy the iPhone4s...I've wanted one for a while but just didn't want to spend the money. I only have 3 days to get one though and I hate going places after work...so we'll see if I can make it to the store today or something.
Now the next problem is...WHAT DO I WEAR!? This is my first time going to an event like this, the past 2 times I was able to go to a fashion event was an affiliate tea and my Outnet Photoshoot, nothing as big as this. I've been agonizing over what to wear and so far I was thinking of a simple look with some pop. I have to decide what to wear UNDER the blazer though...and I'll probably need a coat...perhaps my leopard coat?or would that be too leopardy?
Sandals: Miu Miu eBay
Blazer: Moschino Cheap & Chic eBay $27
Jeans: Free People (Gilt Groupe) gift card
Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop)
Watch: Michael Kors (25% off at Lord & Taylor)
Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card
(I will obviously have flats in my purse for when my feet start dying)
And yes, this is sorta a copy of something I wore 2 weeks ago, but when something works why not wear it again? ;)
I am also freaking out because I've never caught a cab on my own before...as many of you know I am VERY shy so whenever I go to NYC alone I walk EVERYWHERE and avoid talking to people. BUT if I walked to this event it would take forever, so that is not an option, ha ha. But now that I did this post there is no chickening out because you all know I'm going ;)

Yeah I got an invite to for the Sydney opening, but doubting whether I should go because I imagine it will be super rammed! I might go for the experience though! And I love your pick. You're gonna look so smart and put together, LOVE!

I wish they had one in LA. Have fun at the event and be confident when getting a taxi, go in front of the nearest hotel entrance because they tend to drop off many passengers there :) XX
ReplyDeletethis is a nice simple, but polished look, and you can never be too leopardy.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Love the look you put together. You'll be fine, all you have to do is stand up straight, raise your arm confidently, and that cab will stop. What a fun event, wish they had one in L.A.!

I'll actually be there as well!! As for your question...It may be my Florida-ness but i've been bundling up in layers and boots. You may be good with the shoes, but maybe add a light coat over the blazer? Hope to see you Wednesday!!
