Finalist for Target Australia Petite Posse
I started out my day at the Target Australia Head Quarters for #petitesposse model casting for the Target Runway show. Uh huh, you heard me right. M.O.D.E.L C.A.S.T.I.N.G. I was one of the lucky 15 Australian Finalists to be chosen by Target Australia in search for the face of #petitesposse at VAMFF, and walk the Target Runway. I know, totally obscure and something I never imagined myself ever doing except for being behind the lens. Having said that, I’m very grateful for every surprise and opportunity thrown at me. I actually enjoyed the entire experience because I got to meet the other beautiful models, and of-course meeting the gorgeous and super woman Dannii Minogue (true story: the first time I met her was when I served her at the Naturopathy counter back in my Pharmacy Assisting days 10 years ago ….) which was a dream come true.
Sadly…
I didn’t make the cut (must be my awkward catwalking skills) and I headed straight to VAMFF to capture the street style action along with my beautiful side kick, Nicola Tauros.
My entire look is by S.Wallis’s latest AW15 collection. I’m obsessing over this tweed vest right now.
All Black in Scanlan & Theodore
I’m one for investing into timeless, comfortable and functional pieces, and Scanlan & Theodore has been one of my favourite go to Aussie Designer places for years. As much as I love vibrant colours and quirky street wear, I’m very much in love with the whole minimalist and all black aesthetic.
I’m a size 4-6, but believe it or not the silk blouse I’m wearing is a size 12 in the following images. I’m really liking the slight over-sized and slouchy look because it gives me versatility in the way I style it. I have styled the blouse in 2 ways by tucking it differently.
Here I have taken the front and twisted it and tucked it in my silk slouchy pants.
Here I have loosely tucked the front of the blouse into my pants, and pulled up the pants a little to give it a slouchy look. You have no idea how long I have been hunting for the pair a slouchy pants that looks good on petite women like me!!!! Finally I found my dream pair from Scanlan Theodore that actually drops well, and once again it’s so versatile.

Chanel Cruise Collection Preview
It’s nearing the end of year 2014, and I have very exciting news to share. As you know I have been shooting and working with Jess Dempsey from What Would Karl Do for more than two years, and she has asked me to join her amazing blog that she has beautifully crafted in the last 5 years. I am unbelievably overwhelmed by the love and respect she has for my work that I’m now the official half (the photographer) of What Would Karl Do. For the past few month, I have been teasing her a little by saying, “What Would Karl Do with Karen Woo”. Anyway we have many new amazing projects and collaborations we can’t wait to accomplish because we going to bring What Would Karl Do to the next level!
So as our journey begins, we were exclusively invited into the house of Chanel (on Flinders Lane, Melbourne) to preview Chanel’s latest Spring Summer collection – the Cruise Collection 2014/15. Karl Lagerfeld offered up an Arabian-infused which was inspired by the lifestyle of Dubai. From custom made Jerry Can handbags, to mini Chanel Boy Bag clutches. We adored everything about the collection.
Here it is, as captured on my fabulous Iphone6…
