Karl's Beautiful Thoughts

The Beautiful World of King Karl ...

Fall in Love with Carolina

 Angelenos have a passion for designer brands--and they choose them all carefully. There is always a suitable name for every occasion. Melrose Place is luxury's address, affording exclusive collections of splendid names and regular celebrity drop-ins. Famous creators like Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs and Marni are fashionable neighbors here. Of course it is not the only label-driven strip in L.A., but it's the coziest away from the hustle and bustle of Rodeo Drive, Robertson Boulevard and the Sunset Strip.

A Goddess' Retreat

The goddess is alive in every L.A. woman (and man). As the sun rises over L.A. on a Thursday morning, the beginning of the weekend has arrived and that means it's time to party. Sophisticated ladies find luxurious clothes and posh accessories with elaborate designs at Max Azria. Sumptuous outfits, like fluffy dresses, fancy jackets and glamorous evening gowns make the ultimate L.A. party queen ready for some Saturday night fever on the Sunset Strip.

Be Eye-Catching!

In L.A., it's crucial to be eye-catching--hip youngsters attract attention with fashionable pieces from Fred Segal. The store caters to the beautiful crowd and of-the-minute fashion mavens and celebs who like to pop in to check out the latest trends, gather stylish pieces and discover exciting labels. Fred Segal's fashion represents the essence of L.A.'s club and bar scene, from downtown's Standard Hotel Bar to Santa Monica's Penthouse at the Huntley ... places where it's all about seeing and being seen.

Go vintage and get ahold of intricately embellished pieces and other assorted styles at Catwalk. The tiny yet impressively designer-savvy boutique caters to celebrities, their shoppers, magazine style editors and insiders alike.

It's a Man's World

Be creative and make your own rules. Fashionable dudes lucky enough to live in L.A. have access to the one-of-a-kind boite Paul Smith. At this Melrose store, guys can find quirky basics and eccentric accessories to give their look a unique touch. Pin-up cuff links, rare polka dot socks along with fashionably tailored suits and collared shirts. Throughout the city, men are daring enough to try things, mix styles and enjoy admiring themselves in the mirror.

A Los Angeles State of Mind

There is always space left in a wardrobe for another essential piece--as long as it's special enough. This philosophy permeates the hipster vintage store Wasteland. Fashionistas and scenesters adore this place as it sells affordable and one-of-a-kind designer pieces, while being laidback and glam at the same time. Hey, if it's good enough for Angelina Jolie (she famously got her $26 black dress here for the premiere of "A Mighty Heart"), then it's certainly good enough for all the little people.

New Year's Thought

Failure is the only opportunity to begin again and learn from mistakes. Don't dwell on things for too long! Start the new year like this Lord: Get back on your Thoroughbred!
Be fantabulous!

New Energy

If the January gloom has its grasp on you, think of a concoction that will lift your spirits. The Italians do it with a teensy-weensy sip of java. Go for it and stay easy-breezy during your day. Cheers!

Devour Chanel!

Our New Year's Resolution is deliciously fashionable!

The New Year's Thoughs

The color green is the color of balance and growth, inspiring hope and a generosity of spirit not available from other colors. Let's start the new year with esperance and a positive mindset. A classy widget -- like this green tassle, seen at the Victoria & Albert Museum London -- shall inspire you.

Come down!

After the festive season allow your lovely feet a break from Jimmies, Manolos & Louboutins and switch into these comfy flats.We love these slippers!

Wishing everybody a fancifully fashionable new year!
