(Yes, I realize my last post was about Karen Walker, but this is true love, people.) WOW. We’re waving goodbye to summer here in PDX (not that summer ever really started this year), but look at the cute clothes they are just starting to wear in the Southern Hemisphere. I love New Zealand fashion designer, Karen Walker. Karen’s “Hi There” Summer 2011 Collection is my nautical, stripy dream–I love every single piece. It... Read More
