Guest Blogger: Harper & Harley

Harper & Harley is the kind of fashion blog that you can easily spend an hour reading. Thoughtful and considered, Australian based blogger Sara blends a carefully curated mix of delicate images, runway shots and notes on fashion marketing on an almost daily basis. A fan of pastels, print, and all things pretty, here is Sara’s take on Karla Spetic’s aptly titled AW2010 collection, ‘Dreamer’…

Some people may think it strange that I have a lookbook stuck up on my bedroom wall like a piece of art, but If they saw Karla Spetic’s soft pastel collection I’m sure they too would find inspiration from it. Karla’s AW10 Collection Dreamer is truly that, dreamy.

I’m sure many of you have heard of the blogger obsession, how every blogger is obsessed with something… well this collection is mine, having already blogged about it a couple of times on my own blog Harper and Harley. Maybe it’s all the soft pastels in a season that usually lends itself to the deeper tones, perhaps it’s the collaboration with illustrator Caitlin Shearer, or maybe it’s that beautifully presented lookbook that sucked me in and made me fall in love.

How excited I was when I was invited by Frockshop  to come in to their beautiful flagship boutique in Brisbane’s James st and have a play around in some of Karla’s pieces, AND get to take part in a mini photo shoot with Lauren from PenyLane and Mark from The Vine. And let me tell you, nothing was going to stop me from going head to toe in the Caitlin Shearer printed skirt and jacket. I loved the twist detail in the two-tone dress and adored the little A-Line number.

The outfits definitely brought out the girly girl in me, something I don’t usually go for.  And yet I think there’s still a nice balance between dressing cute and sweet and the ok you’re 21 not 5 years old thing going on. Although I did sport some frilly white socks that were reminiscent of the ones I use to wear in preschool…
