Velvet dress: American Apparel. Coat & necklace: H&M. Hat: Random NY shop. Shoes: Bebe
So 2009 was the year that I finally got off my ass and started a blog. Thanks to each and every one of you for reading it and following me along the way.
None of us know what the future holds, but I can say that as long as you do something that makes you happy, then that’s all that matters.
My favourite quote:
“Have the courage to follow your gut and intuition. They already know what you want to become. Everything else is secondary” (Steve Jobs)
Cheers to 2010! To good health and finding happiness.
Love, Karen x

    Oh, Karen, this is the BEST New Year’s post!! I can’t believe you went out in the snow in that outfit: what we’ll do for our art, huh?!!

    I also can’t believe the snow in NY. It really is wild that you’re a British girl in NY, and I’m visa versa. Oh and my family surname is Carin (Adams is my married name). I only started my this year, too, and only discovered yours in the last days of 2009, but I am such a fan. This is a gorgeous shoot. xox

  67. Karen says:

    Happy New Year right back to all of you and thank you very much for everyone’s support : )

    Coat is good for your health while in winter we should get some sophisticated protection for that and your looks so gorgeous.

    This is definitely my forever favourite post of you!
    Do you still have that coat? It’s amazing, I’m desperately in love with it 🙂

  87. Jasmina Tovornik says:

    after almost 3 years, this is still my favourite post of you 🙂 I’m sooo in love with the coat that you’re wearing, I’ve been looking everywhere for it or at least for something similar but no luck so far :/ Do you still have it? If you ever ever ever possibly decide to sell it, I would absolutely love to become new loving owner of this furry cutie 🙂
    greetings from Slovenia, and keep up the good work*
