Karl Lagerfeld launched his new exclusive KARL at NET-A-PORTER collection with a bevy of pop-up shops in Paris, NY, London, and Berlin. Our own Leigh Ferreira took a trip to the Bleecker Street pop up shop where customers were able to shop for the clothes via iPad. The exclusive collection offers over 70 different pieces from the collection including draped jersey dresses, classic pants, sweatshirts, skirts, shirts, dresses, T-shirts, shoes and bags. Channeling Lagerfeld's distinct aesthetic, the color palette is predominantly black and white with a rock 'n' roll edge. These are classic edgy pieces that can live on for years in your closet.
Here are my favorite pieces:

KARL Batya wrap-effect metalic silk-blend crepe top ($200), KARL Sachi pleated faux leather skirt ($160)
KARL Ordina sequined biker dress ($485), KARL Sabine sequined shorts ($270)
KARL Textured-leather clutch ($270) KARL Metallic leather wedge sandals ($405)

Hi Lovelies! Lisa from the Four Seasons Maui Resort in Hawaii is back with the answers to your skin care questions (previous post here). I found her answers to be super helpful myself so I hope this new series can help you on your path to better skin for 2012.

One of the best products that Lisa recommended to me last fall was the Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Cleansing Brush ($225) as it works both for your face and body. It's really helped my clogged pores and I find it has worked well for my skin care routine. I use it about three times a week for my face and twice a week in the shower for my body. Yes it's a bit more than the Mia but not by that much. You really aren't going to need to buy this product frequently so why not get the best?! The Clairsonic PLUS has three speeds for the face and a body mode as well. For those of you that don't know, Clairsonic uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth skin. In just a minute, the micro-massage action removes six times more makeup and twice the dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone. You can use your own cleanser with the Clairsonic. (I use Kate Somerville's Gentle Daily Wash.)
