the clash

by Karen Blanchard
20 January 2010
Jumper with oval hem: H&M. Zebra skinnies: Trash & Vaudeville. Boots: All Saints. Hat: H&M.
One thing I love is mixing up animal print. Some of you remember the last clash here.
Not sure about you lot, but I used to despise wearing jumpers in winter. Little things like adding a drop hem though, makes them 10 x better and a nod to Dries Van Noten.
ps. I am beyond honoured to be listed as one of Vogue UK’s fave fashion blogs. My site automatically updates on their’s each time I have a new post. Click here for their blog list.
Thank you Vogue UK!

    HIP HIP URRAY! Congrats on the UK feature. Work it girl! Work it!

  33. Tay says:

    That feature on Vogue UK is awesome; have always liked British Vogue more than Anna’s sorry excuse of a mag.

    Also, they should have you above The Satorialist cuz Michael takes way more better pictures than Scott. I hope Garance reads this.

    CONGRATULATIONS on Vogue – that’s so amazing! !

    It’s such a shame you’re not in the UK – I’m heading to London Fashion Week this year. Got my press pass the other day (I’m writing for magazines, not my blog…!)

    LOVE your leggings btw xxx

    Woot! Congrats on the Vogue link. You totally deserve it, you have a great eye and such a passion! Well done. Caro (mua) xx

  51. Karen says:

    Thank you everyone for the words. I really do make a point to read what you all say. Honest.

    It really does mean a lot to have even been SEEN by Vogue UK. (I nearly fell of my chair when they contacted me).

    Susanne – agreed. Lazy dressing at its best possibly.

    Fashion Chalet – woah that really means alot for you to save it. Your images that keep are stunners.

    Caylee – thank you! That was the feel I was going for. *exhales that I didn’t look like I’d lost my head*

    Roxana – I won’t forget those words in a hurry. Thank you.

    Tay – only YOU could write this and have me cracking up.!!! See you next month ; )

  53. Julie says:

    Wow! I love your style and your blog!! Amazing! <3
    I was wondering if you could write some tips about the best places to shop in London? (After reading your profile I figured you were the right person to ask) Cause I’ve just moved to London to study, and I always end in Oxford street and other touristy places when shopping… Where are the hidden treasures? =)

  54. Taylor Sterling says:

    congrats on Vogue UK! I love the color of the sweater! Looks great on you!

  55. Diana says:

    oh.em.gee again! i swear this should teach me to read your posts in order instead of backwards. i love the color of your jumper btw!

    omg! vogue uk! =O

  56. Karen says:

    Taylor and Dee – thank you!!!!

    Julie – hmmm . not been to London recently (hopefully will be there soon) but go to the street markets like Camden Town, Portobello Road. Loads of stuff on those two alone ; )

  57. Derrar says:

    wouha! I really love this outfit! I can’t stop watching these photo 😀 xx
