VAMFF 2016 Opening Night Street Style

March 8, 2016Karen Woo Leave a Comment

With the new venue set at the Royal Exhibition Building, the highly anticipated fashion event has officially begun! I couldn’t be more excited to capture the style on the streets, and from what I’ve seen – pleats, fringes, high knee boots and strappy heels were the common threads.

Thanks for all the snaps, and it was great seeing a few new faces and catching up with everyone. Enjoy the highlights pre-David Jones opening runway show!

Living on the Edge

March 6, 2016Karen Woo Leave a Comment

It really isn’t that hard to believe that we do live in one of the world’s most liveable city. Melbourne is the epicentre of coffee, food, art, sport and music culture. Over the past years, I’ve noticed a peak increase of cars jamming up our roads, housing prices sky rocketing, childcare waiting lists nearing 2 years and blogging becoming the norm, the way of life.

I recently finished reading this biography book, “In order to live” by a young North Korean girl called YEONMI PARK who recalls her tale about the hardships, the starvation, the violence and propaganda she had to endure, in order to fight for freedom. She was “living on the edge” practically everyday. Though her struggles were incomparable to my life – but it’s a reminder to me to stop complaining, take a moment and appreciate all the little things. I need to remind myself daily to count every blessing, every experience with the biggest gratitude and smile. It’s always good to put things back into perspective and not get caught up in this fickle world of materialism.

So how fitting it was when Eureka Skydeck88, the Edge invited Melanie (@theTiaFox) and I to see and capture Melbourne at a different perspective. It was actually something I’ve been meaning to do for a long while but never made time for it, even when I lived at Eureka back in 2008! We rocked up at 4pm (tips: park at Crown, and wait till sunset), took the elevator to the 88th floor and stepped into the Edge which slowly pulled out from the building. Before we knew it, we were suspended nearly 300 meters over Melbourne city in a glass cube – glass walls, ceiling and floor, and we had 10 whole minutes to ourselves.

Though I wished we just stood there and soak in the majestic city views, we were too busy scrambling around the cube for the quickest fashion shoot EVER! But seriously it was all worth it. I’ll do anything for great snaps.

Enjoy xx

Just imagining what my office life be like on SkyDeck88 – haha!

All White Everything at Le Diner En Blanc 2016

February 29, 2016Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Diner en Blanc, a sea of people dressed in all-white popped up at a secret location which was only revealed hours before the event. Around 1,500 guests brought with them their table settings, chairs, cutlery and food and parked themselves at the Waterfront City, Dockland. It was definitely one of the largest pop-events I have ever seen, with free-flowing bottles of Fiji water, boxes of sandwiches and nibbles packed by the Atlantic Group and live entertainment. This concept began 26 years ago in Paris, and in most recent times, everywhere around the world has taken part of this phenomena.

The most memorable part of the night was the waving of their napkins to kick start the dinner, the lighting of the sparkles to end the night; and of-course spotting my favourite white outfits as seen below.

Thank you Vincent of @Your_Ensemble for my snap.

Thank you ThatComms for having us at the Diners Le Blanc event xx

Jeep Portsea Polo 2016

January 30, 2016Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Early Jan, I had the pleasure of taking my Woo-man (and leaving our 4 year old behind..Woo!) who was kindly dressed by Peter Jackson (THANK YOU xxx) to the Jeep Portsea Polo. Can you believe that it’s our first date to a fashion event together? It was just nice to go to an event together without having to work work, like take snaps of people but getting snapped instead.

Since we were purely guests at the Jeep Portsea Polo marquee (THANK YOU TWO BIRDS TALKING!), I didn’t really get a chance to take a lot of snaps as I usually do. Let alone, watch any polo sport. However, I still managed to squeeze in a few frames, nibbles and catch ups with everyone.

So enjoy my highlights and some funny moments (especially Indianna’s photobomb moment) xx
