Welcome Ladakh, the Latest Brand From Down Under

Posted on by

Australia has been sending the states plenty of outstanding stuff in recent years: sexy accents, calling BBQs the Bahbie, Vegemite (OK I actually have never tasted it), Summer Heights High… and perpetually fresh fashion. Ladakh is the latest to hop across the Pacific, treading into US territory and they join the ranks of some Karmaloop favorites like Mink Pink and style stalker. Founded in the early 90′s, Ladakh has been doing business in major Australian hubs like Sydney and Brisbane for as long as some of you have been alive, so we know this brand can ride the proverbial wave of style trends. Watch out for its Spring pieces as they trickle onto the site! Already we’ve got a couple unique sweaters including the Native Navaho Poncho, the Nine Til Noon Top, and the Rustech Sweater.

Ready to be impressed? As if her quickly growing career didn’t already win your affection, Dev had a baby last month and is already back at doing her rockstar thing. Brittany over at What The Hellz?! posted a behind the scenes look at the set of “Dancing Shoes”, her latest single off the upcoming (delayed release) The Night The Sun Came Up album. We adore the BFFL relationship between Dev and the Hellz gals, they’ve really cross promoted each other all the way to the top. Watch the making of clip above and the full video below!

Cheap Monday is starting to trickle in, and per usual, the Swedish brand is offering up some outstandingly comfortable gear for this spring. What we like most about the Spring-Summer 2012 collection is the trendy details (isn’t it always in the details?): bold colorblocked stripes, unusual necklines, and quirky silhouettes. Consistently presenting a high-fashion runway show each season, the brand’s new pieces were presented with nostalgic and romantic sensibilities hinting at the naivety of our parents’ youth. Watch the video above to scope out the whole collection.

Stylist: Naomi Itkes | Make up: Anya de Tobon
Hair: Erika Svedjevik | Set design: Tonie Zetterström | Music: Erik Haal
Casting: Marcus Pettersson | Show Coordinator: Lotta Andersson

P.S. Mark your calendars… A week from today, January 31, Cheap Monday’s Autumn/Winter 2012 show will be streamed live on Style.com at 10 am EST!

Ready to Tango? Pantone Releases 2012′s Color of the Year

Posted on by

Pantone just released the 2012 Color of the Year! Their pick is vibrant and packs a punch. We welcome Tangerine Tango with open arms, and admittedly, have already been sporting variations of the reddish-orange hue on our lips and nails for several springs and summers now. The color is especially striking when paired with offbeat neutrals (Elie Tahari SS12 above left) and also when used as a sort of neutral itself… hard to believe, but match it against neon and tangerine holds its own as an anchor (see Nanette Lepore SS12 top right). Can’t wait til spring? We’ve got some pieces to rendezvous with until the color takes center stage next season. Below: the Loretta Dress – *LA Boutique; the For Real Shoe – Jeffrey Campbell; the O Clock Signal Watch – O Clock Watches; the Watercolors Scarf – *The Extras.

Holiday Wishlist: Erika

Posted on by

For our 3rd round of employee wishlists, we’ve got Erika, one of the most cheerful faces around the office! Read on for all her picks.

Job at Karmaloop? I’m an Assistant Buyer at Karmaloop! However, unlike the other buyers here, I do not handle apparel brands. In exchange, I am responsible for the headphones, housewares, and some accessories such as media cases for the site.

Describe your style: Far East Side meets the Dirty South!!!

Favorite part of the holiday season? It used to be Santa Claus until some kid at school burst my bubble. I was on a mission to capture the dude for years. Now, I simply enjoy the time I get to spend with my family and loved ones.

Erika’s favorite gifts are…
