Oaks Day 2016 Street Style Highlights

Day three of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival brings us to Crown Oaks Day (aka Ladies Day). Oaks did not disappoint. The Ladies came in all the feminine glamour that my lens could wish for. Gowns, adoring floral, lace and bright colours, complimented with delicate bows, boaters and head bands, completed impeccable outfits. The seasons finest designer bags paired with killer Valentino rockstuds stole the show, and possibly the flesh of the brave ladies who wore them for hours (the heels that is). And what would ladies day be without the dapper gents who put in as much effort to get that perfect head-to-toe look.

I enjoyed Oaks very much this year. I even took a moment to have a chat to the lovely Bec Hewitt. Bec is a real sweetheart and down-to-earth, which of-course the media doesn’t like to portray. Don’t believe everything you read on the news stand!

Fashion on the fields is quite a step away from my traditional street style photography, but nevertheless I was still in my element, spotting and snapping the most fashionable Race goers having a good time.

Well it’s a wrap from me, that was my final day at the races, and I sincerely want to thank everybody for their support – PR agencies, my photographer buddies for hanging out with me, and all the fantastic people I got to meet and snap along the way. Oh, and thanks for the love regarding my coverage for What Would Karl Do too, I’m glad you are enjoying my take on fashion on the fields.

Lastly but not the least I want to thank the following people:

  • Jess Dempsey of What Would Karl Do for selecting me to work with her and for being a pleasure to shoot
  • Bared Footwear for saving my feet with stunning and comfy heels
  • Ezaraj for my beautiful and sparkly head piece
  • Lexus and Lavazza for welcoming me into your marquees with exquisite hospitality.

So here are the shots taken in and out of marquees and my “Birdcage street-style”.

Always Karen xx

Oaks Day Highlights 2015

Well it’s a wrap from me!

It’s been a incredible week of shooting at the races, and even guest speaking at an RMIT for my good friend, Tiffany Newman (@thiswithin) who is teaching the students on Social Media Marketing #boom!

Anyway I really hope you have been enjoying all the coverage I have been snapping up for What Would Karl Do. Once again, thank you so much for the fun, laughter, great conversations and of-course your stylish race wear. Your support and love means so much to me.

Until next time, see you again in a year! xxx

Oaks Day Emirates Marquee 2014

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

Oaks Day Lavazza Marquee 2014

My fave look of the day was the cute striped navy outfit, meeting Samantha Jade who looked stunning in Demillinery headpiece, and hanging out with my all time favourite girl, Alexia Petsinis who handmade her beautiful green dress. Enjoy the highlights!
