Long, flowing dresses with tough accessories, sequins, sequins and more sequins. Plus, her footwear collection is on point. I'm really loving her style. ♥ the alchemist http://stylealchemy.com/ruminations/2010/03/16/style-muse-karen/ I love that design houses are releasing little videos to accompany their latest collections.
