Apparently 08-08-08 is a really auspicious date for the Chinese people. The number 8 is very lucky because I think the same word is used for "luck" and "eight" in Cantonese...or Mandarin? I don't know...I'm not exactly an expert. If someone knows more about this, do tell! Karla - you look awesome as usual. I love the colour of the blazer.
I'm so jealous at your ability to find the most perfect blazers! All the secondhand ones I try on are too big in the shoulders or not slim fitted enough for me, but yours always look great :)
i was definitely aware of that mostly due to the whole olympics hype and it being the opening of the olympics. plus the news was full of statistics on how numerous chinese marriages were being held on that day because of 8 being a lucky number in chinese culture. altogther 8-8-08 was an interesting day.
Oh, how I love a good blazer, yours is divine! I love your look and just posted on you yesterday! I hope my 'visitors' love you as much as I do! Sabina x
according to Chinese people.. that day was incredibly auspicious that's why they had to opening ceremony that day.... all too superstitious if you ask me.
that second shot of you is so cool that it looks like something out of a mag!
If you live i Stockholm here in Sweden you are a "08", so there were 50 000 people celebrating whit a big party.. I think everyone noticed. Thank for a great blog!
you always look amazing in blazers! well, amazing in everything! haha 8 is considered a lucky number for the chinese, so thats why the beijing olympics started on 8-8-08!
I discovered ‘karla s closet’ some weeks ago and it turned out to be one of my favourite blogs. Your style images are thrilling me every time. Thanx for your inspiring work! In spring 2008 I started my own fashionblog. I’m still struggling with blogspot, my old cam and having no inspiring photographer beside me… But now I’d like to spread my work all over the world to share it with all this fashionable ladies out there… I’d love if you could add my blog http://www.wardrobexperience.blogspot.com to your list of links. I added yours to mine already. Thanx!
ooo, i do like that blazer. and then there was 07-07-07 last year when EVERYONE got married. yeah, it's cool, but at the same time, i wouldn't want my wedding date to be the same as everyone else's.
yes, 08-08-08 is COOL! haha, i like the shoes. hey hav u ever been to this LA vintage store called jet rag? cuz i went there and it was pretty cool tho i missed their legendary $1 sales.
08-08-08 is exciting indeed! You should see the amount of ladies around Hong Kong in the last stages of their pregnancy, aiming for a few 8's in their childrens birthdate.
I get nerdily excited on the other cool days too, like 01-02-03, 06-07-08, etc etc... It's something to be positive about right? Haha.
I love your style, bought some beige suit trousers yesterday and fully intend to cuff them and wear them with fierce heels! Thank you for being such an inspiration.
Coral body con skirt? that sounds really cool. I think 08-08-08 is pretty awesome too cos it'll never happen again, well not for another 1000 years =] I love your blog maybe we can do a link exchange?
Guys... I bought some marc jacobs boots like Karlas but I orderd the wrong size. I am now trying to find a happy home for them. size 39 and still in their Box! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110278901130 If any1 is interested let me know!
Hey Karla... I'm Kristina and I've just started a blog, but I've been reading yours for quite some time now... If you get the chance to link, it'd be great, cuz you seem like an interesting person, not just as far as fashion, but other things as well. So, feel free to drop by my blog anytime, I'll be glad to hear from you;)

I can't believe that blazer is secondhand.... I need to find out were it is that find secondhand cloths.
That kind of color coordination is one of my personal faves. There is just something about beige and blue together.
