Day 7

Friday, July 30, 2010

Today we had our product meeting at the one and only, Saks (on) Fifth Avenue. Fall delivery will be hitting stores late August so get those cute butts in gear and head to the closest Saks where you can snag all Kara's most beautiful dresses before they sell out!!! They're not only drop dead gorgeous, but totally affordable! (My personal favorites? The Amber and the Presley.)

On Kara: LOA black top, very cool jean shorts with overall suspenders by Current Elliot, and a Bing Bang necklace.

Today we also had two very special visitors! Kara's handsome hubby, Sharone and (dare I say more handsome?) baby boy Calum.

On Sharone: a grey H&M beater, and J Crew

madras shorts; perfect for looking fashionable on a hot summer day.

On Calum: a cool T by DKNY, shorts from the Gap, and Geox shoes.

On Leanne: cosy black C&C tank, American Eagle cargo shorts, a necklace from West Africa, and black leather boots from Aunt Terry (Aunt Terry is a person, not a company name, sorry folks!)

T.G.I.F.

Day 6

Thursday, July 29, 2010

It's been a totally crazy week. Kara and I might be loosing our minds and it's only thursday!! Julie, we miss your origami lessons and computer know-how. Hurry back to us please? :)

On Kara: Watch out, she's ready for battle in a stripy tank by Splendid and army green cargos from Zara.

On Leanne: an anonymous black tank from a friends closet (hehe), CCS boyfriend jeans, and a three strand pink necklace from Japan.

Julie, not only do we miss your quirky-ness, but this blog

misses your closet...

Kisses from the big apple, KJL

A Special Someone

The previous assistant of Kara, now working at Coach, came to the Sample Sale glowing. She was sporting a sparkling, new engagement ring and was an absolute vision of perfection! Congratulations to you, Lana, and your groom to-be. Julie and I may have just met you, but along with Kara, we are very happy for you!!

On Lana: A black tank by

Narciso Rodriguez,

skirt from Zara, and pretty

little Valentino heels.

xoxo

Kara is missing you very much!

Day 3

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

The first day of our week without Julie. We miss you Julie, but know you're having too much fun with Mickey and Minnie Mouse! ;)

Bethenny Frankel told the world how much she loves Kara's dresses and the orders are flooding in, so luckily, bored and twiddling our thumbs is the last thing happening in our cosy office on west 36th. A picture of Bethenny sporting the Amber dress in fuchsia will be posted as soon as that photo becomes available on line.

On Kara: Free People tube top romper.

On her stunning little one, Calum: H&M kids.

On Leanne: Free People dress, Steve Madden sandals, and popping pink Sally Hansen "Simply Divine" nails.

You look beautiful Bethenny!

xoxo, KJL

Day 2

Thursday, July 22, 2010

The day of the sample sale has come. We've organized, cleaned, and (julie) made perfectpaperorigami flowers. The office looks like a sale space, Ta-dah!! Today was beautiful, the temperature and humidity dropped. Kara's gorgeous dresses and Stella & Dot jewelry were sold, if you missed it, you missed out for sure!

On Kara: a Zara T-shirt; she

wears her heart(s) on her sleeve,

paired with T by Alexander Wang shorts.

On Leanne: She'slighting up the room in gold sequin shorts from H&M, a colorful Lilly White tank, and Zara ballet flats.

On Julie: An easy-going fashion must-have romper by Alexander Wang, brilliant blue leather bracelet by Balenciaga on her right, and on her left; two snakes. A Dodo silver bracelet with a gold snake detail, and an all silver bracelet with a snake head clasp by Iosselliani.

lots of love from KJL

Day 1

Wednesday July 21, 2010

A hot and humid day. Outside we swam through the streets of midtown, but inside we entertained ourselves with fashionable tasks and origami. Julie makes beautiful paper flowers with ease, while Kara and I struggle and still end up with mangled, sad looking ...flowers? Props

Jules, you're a pro! :)

Her paper flowers may not be a hit, but designer Kara Janx looks casual and cool for a day in the office!

On Kara: H&M black tube top, Juicy Couture sweat pants, and Berkinstock sandals.

On Julie: Marc by Marc Jacobs romper, beautiful blue OPI "what's with the cat-itude" nail polish, and Alexis Bittar bracelet.

On Leanne: Urban Outfitters blouse, Diesel jean shorts, and Punk Rose sneakers.

Until next time... after the Sample sale ;)

KJX kisses.
