Who is Leslie Karen?
Leslie Karen is a blog dedicated to women who are forever curious, passionate and don’t believe in limits. I love DIY’ing and trying to figure out how to do things, traveling, designing interiors, finding good restaurants, fashion and reading. Basically just about anything creative and artistic.

The Ultimate Gift Guide for Pets and the People Who Love Them
The Ultimate Guide for Pets and the People Who Love Them; (A.K.A. My Grand Finale of 2025 Gift Guides—cue the confetti, the jingling bells, and at least one dog in a tiny sweater.)
The Ultimate Gift Guide for Men – Whether He Has Everything or Doesn’t Want Anything
Alright, let’s get right into this one because the “what on earth do I get him?” question is practically a holiday sport. There’s essentially two types of guys in every girl or man’s life.
The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guides for the Women in Your Life – Part 2
Since The Gift Guide for the Homebody – Part 1 was all about the cozy, design-loving homebody, this one shifts gears into the girl who lives for a good accessory moment, appreciates a dramatic entrance, and probably has a Notes app titled “Outfits.” Part 2 is where we put on our heels, reach for the good lipstick, and make an entrance. This edition is dedicated to the Fashion Girl—the one who’s always styled, always accessorized, and always ten steps ahead of whatever trend TikTok is shouting about this week. Whether she’s a maximalist, a minimalist, or a “somehow both depending on the day” dresser, these picks hit every mark.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
