Volkswagen XL1 Concept

The Volkswagen XL1 Concept is the car of the future. It looks futuristic enough, with its lack of a rear view mirror and sleeky design, complete with hidden rear wheels.

Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of Lee McQueen's tragic passing. Fashion house Alexander McQueen's driving force was a visionary and his bold designs drew the likes of Hollywood and beyond.

Part of every girl's Teenage Dream is to always have a great manicure. Having pretty fingers makes us feel like Fireworks and although we might be stuck at work, one glance at our nails and it's almost like we are California Girls Waking Up in Vegas.

We Love: Karla's Closet

Thanks to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, vintage clothing and accessories have seen a resurgence, and everything second-hand became wardrobe gems. Girls would raid their mothers' closets and flock to Salvation Armys and Goodwills for cheap and chic finds.

But one problem with this trend is that it's difficult to discern between fashionable and outdated. The key reminder here is: just because it's old, doesn't mean it's vintage.

One girl who gets it right all the time is Karla, who runs the blog aptly named Karla's Closet. Most of what she wears is second-hand or vintage, but she's always meticulous in putting together her outfits. Vintage dresses are complemented with in-season Prada heels, or sunglasses with modern shapes. She never looks like a blast from the past, but always like a worthy homage to fashion predecessors. And she is extra careful with the used clothing she selects; with a strict eye for quality and detail, the girl will never be caught dead in drab hand-me-downs.
