Karen Walker Stole My Heart.

The designs are breathtaking--familiar, yet unique. From the slightly detached blazer to the ruffle details on blouses, skirts and coats, Karen Walker forces me to see glamour in a new and impartial way.










I love how she added a tough-girl leather jacket with the sophisticated cropped trousers, sheer, plaid blouse and red pumps. Instant effortless inspiration!
