Melbourne Cup Day Highlights 2015

November 4, 2015Karen Woo Leave a Comment

It was my day off today to dress up in heels and hang out with my best friend at the Lexus Marquee. As much as I tried hiding and tried not to “work” I was quite recognisable on the streets. Got to thank my hair by Clarity Beauty for that, and the beautiful crown by Demilinery I was wearing. The truth is, you know me perfectly well – I get itchy fingers and can’t help snapping. I’m kinda regretting right now because I ended up with two painful blisters on each side of my feet. Sigh.

Here are the highlights from Melbourne Cup Day.

Special love and thanks to S. Wallis and Demilinery for dressing me, and the amazing fashion illustration by Megan Hess.

Derby Day Highlights for Lexus and Lavazza 2015

November 1, 2015Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Can you believe it is the 1st of November today, and I already have a cray cray super organised friend who has already put up her Christmas Tree!? Let’s just park Christmas aside for moment, because the most anticipated Melbourne event of the year has kick started – it’s Derby Day at the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

Driving into Flemmington Racecourse was quite horrendous with the downpour of rain, but thankfully the weather held up and all the fashionistas turned up in their stylish monochromatic outfits for a fabulous time at the Lexus and Lavazza Marquee.

My favourite outfits of the day (in no particular order) were Jess Dempsey in Dolce & Gabana lace ensemble as dressed by the Outnet.com and headpiece by Danika; Jacqui Felgate in Nicholas the label and Milinery Jill big bow head piece; Helen (Designer for Thurley) in her own custom designed Thurley dress ; Kate Waterhouse in white Stella McCartney top and wide legged pants and Nerida Winter hat; Margaret Zhang in Dion Lee and Sarina Suriano Jewel headpiece; Jessica Gomes in Ellery’s trademark bell sleeved dress; and the beautiful ladies in Louis Vuitton.

Anyway, I’ll let you decide … enjoy the snaps! For more images, please visit What Would Karl Do.

Special love and appreciation to S.Wallis for dressing me this year to keep me comfortable and stylish xxx

Oaks Day Emirates Marquee 2014

November 12, 2014Karen Woo Leave a Comment

This is the final instalment of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival. Although it has been an exhausting week of shooting and editing images on the fly, it was definitely one of the biggest highlights of my street style photography career. I have been so blessed to work with my best friend, Jess Dempsey from What Would Karl Do to bring you the best style coverage; biggest thanks to Danica Erard who custom made my headpiece so I can shoot in style, EC-Group who found me on Instagram and engaged me to shoot their beautiful pink and green apple carpet in the Lexus Pavillion, and all the welcoming kisses and hugs every time I enter into the Marquees.

All thanks to the fabulous people around me which made my week at the Races so much special. x
