Pretty as a Peacock

There is something about Peacock feathers that women love, me included. I love the array of colors, iridescent quality and texture, or simply put, they are bright and shiny and we looovvve bright and shiny. And up until now I had seen them used mostly in earrings but here are some other garments that incorporated the lovely plumes.
This head piece, we thought was a unique accessory as well as a different way to use the feather. We love the versatility of being a regal additive or a hippie charm depending on how you wear it.
Birds of a feather flock together. This dress has goose and peacock feathers embellishing the front along with sparkling (oooow shiny!) beads.
Gorgeous teal blue wool coat with ruching a plume details in front with cute ruffle hem.

Wonderful Winter Wear

Don't you hate it when you have put together a beautiful ensemble, then you have to cover it up with some drab coat? Poo, Poo! Well, put down that poofy puffer and wrap yourself up in something stylish! I have chosen 3 fab toppers by Love Karla K., that will not only enhance your outfit but are true head turners in themselves.
Lady Vadar, a charcoal gray with leather trim short belted poncho sleeve jacket. Form fitting and the sleeves make it very comfortable and easy to wear.
Berry Plum Coat is military inspired with a high neck and 8 buttons down the double breasted coat features an ultra soft micro suede fabric with 3/4 sleeves and it also comes with that cute feather brooch.
The Commander Coat is a hodge podge of references because it is also military inspired but also reminds us of a band uniform and the bustle is so Victorian era. You will love the biker feel of this jacket with the faux leather trim and the patches on the arm and also the hourglass shape it sports with the ruffle in the back.
Amazingly versatile you can wear these over top of a lot of ensembles. Wear with boots, pumps, jeans or skirts, either way these coats will give your outfit justice.

Fairy Princess Couture

The inspiration for this one was actually a ballerina costume and the tooth fairy. But I call it "Cupcake" because the color and ruching reminds me of the sweet, light, swirly frosting on top of the perfect cupcake. Yummy!

Sunday, June 21st Photoshoot!

So excited, We at Love Karla K. are having our second photoshoot. It's been trying, getting everyone together, but finally the stars are aligned and we have a wonderful team of people ready to make this thing a success.

The perfect romper!

I have been on a mission to find the perfect romper / jumpsuit since last year, but sadly t0 no avail. Frumpy, unflattering and rompers reminiscent of what garbage collectors might wear was all I could find. That was until now...my quest ended with these adorably retro romper shorts. Bright pink chiffon with flirty splatter printed ruffles around the back and front neckline and tie. Extra comfy with deep side pockets, elastic waist band and tie shoulder straps. Not too fancy, not too casual, but too much fun!

Spring Fling Anyone?

I just finished this design that I absolutely love. I love the color and its, Ohh So Frothy goodness! I call it "Spring Fling", to me the name says it all. Layers of pink, sparkly chiffon and organza fabric. Sugary sweet budding flowers and embroidery in a daring short trapeze shaped dress. Nude colored dresses and tops are all the rage this season but this blush pink does the trick for me and in combination with ultra feminine flowers, (which normally I don't care for) and the gam baring length, OHH Baby! I test drove this dress with these fabulously versatile nude colored heels on a dinner date with my new beau. Needless to say he was as siked about it as I was......
Love Karla K.
