Karen, Where Did You Get That?

Probably a lot of you are already familiar with Karen from Where Did U Get That blog. But if you aren't, well, meet Karen!

Karen is from London but is now living in New York (lucky thing!) with her boyfriend and while we have been emailing each other for about a year now, we haven't ever met up in real life. So when Karen said she was coming to London and asked whether I wanted to catch up, I jumped at the chance. And took along my camera, of course :)

It was a (non-rainy) summer's day in London and we headed to Somerset House to take some photos. Only problem was, it was the opening night of the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition so we kept getting shuffled along by security (no invites to the opening were forthcoming, unfortunately!). Karen was a complete delight and we chatted about London, New York (she regaled me with stories of driving a car in NYC-it sounds terrifying!), fashion and photography.


So where did Karen get that?

Her dress is DVF, boots (men's) from a thrift shop, bag Alexander Wang, and her hat was borrowed. Karen's coral and gold ring is YSL and her pendant is from a street vendor in London
p.s. you can click on the collage to make it bigger.

Running With The Fash Pack...Australian Fashion Week 2010

You know when you spy someone for the first time and think to yourself "Wow! She's gorgeous but I bet she is a really lovely person too?" Well, Sara is one of those girls. She is stunning and such a nice girl. I got to know Sara during Australian Fashion Week (she had flown down from Brisbane for it) and we managed to share lots of giggles and even had a celebrity "moment" with one of my most favourite entertainers ever, Mr Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna). If anyone ever asks me who would be on my fantasy dinner party list, Barry is one of the first people I name.

Anyway, so I ended up taking a photo of Barry and Sara together and we had a little chat to him. We were both so excited afterwards, Sara called her mum and I called my husband!

Sara's blog is Harper and Harley.

Hannah-Rose, captured, twice.

Hannah has a lovely blog called Capture the Castle. She writes beautifully (she is a media student), gathers together gorgeous photographs and while she utterly adores fashion, you can tell she is interested in things other than just clothes (which I think is completely essential). I got to spend some time with Hannah and her friends during Australian Fashion Week where they entertained me with their thoughts on Gossip Girl (or was it The Hills?), the desirability of a PS1 bag, the fabulousness of all things Dion Lee, where to shop in Sydney now
(Lands End- apparently the sales are awesome) and taught me how to survive fashion week in Sydney (lots of sangria and wine at Cruise Bar, apparently!).

Lindy Klim, Balinese princess and wife of Australian Olympic swimming champion Michael Klim, in a tiny leather dress and giant Prada bag. Lindy is the creator of baby skincare range, Milk Baby which has super cute products for babies and toddlers such as snotty grotty and stinky winky room sprays, and sleepy bubs massage oil. Two of my friends have just had bubs (one of them, twins!) and I suspect that a bottle (or perhaps a bucket load) of sleepy bubs would come in rather handy :)
