Just here to wish you all a wonderful and exciting Christmas and New Years!

FINALLY, after a couple months of talking and arranging, I am finally happy to tell you guys about a fun little collaborative project between ASOS (the uber amazing online shopping mecca) and a bunch of us HK Fashion Bloggers! Omg I have SO much to say aboutthis awesome project so please bear with me!

The amazing ASOS x HK Bloggers Tea Party was held last Sunday on September 25th with 5 of my favourite Hong Kong fashion bloggers along with myself. The idea behind this unique project was to take the collaboration between social media in Asia and global fashion retailers a step further, from a standard affiliate program to a more subtle partnership.

Apart from myself, the other bloggers included were Sam from Sam is Home, Tania from T Like Bubble Tea, Sybil from The Style Voyager, Christing from Fashion Hedonism and lastly, Geneva from A Pair and a Spare. Along with our mix of styles and backgrounds, the ASOS X HK blogger tea party allowed us to indulge in the tea customs of two distinct cultures: afternoon high tea as enjoyed by the British and dim-sum, a meal devoured over in Chinese customs with friends and family.

The intimate little tea party was held at Tania’s amazing (I’ve used that word too many times already in one post) magazine-like apartment in the heart of Central where it was transformed into a picturesque melting pot of British class with Hong Kong heart. We delighted our bellies in delicious dim-sum arranged on three-tier cake stands, homemade finger sandwiches and rich gorgeous cakes sponsored by Cafe Loisl and Vero Chocolates that were all gobbled down with the help of a variety of English and Chinese teas.

What was the point of this little tea party?
Well apart from getting together with some of my favourite fashion girls in Hong Kong and indulging ourselves silly in sweets and sugar, ASOS provided us each with all £100 for each blogger to select an outfit on their site that best reflected their style. The party doesn’t stop there though. There is also a competition for all of our readers to vote who THEY think styled the best outfit with the budget they were given AND along with the blogger who wins the most votes, a randomly picked reader will also receive £250 (YEP £250!!) to spend on the ASOS website.

CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR WHO YOU THINK STYLED THEIR OUTFIT THE BEST (MEMEMEMMEMEMEMEMMEME wahahahaha)

Here is a breakdown of what I wore:
Motel floral midi-skirt from ASOS, Perspex box clutch from ASOS, Bolt rings and Screw Spike ring from ASOS, H&M metallic knit, Rag & Bone Mallory hiking Boots and necklaces/bracelets mostly DIY.


SO pretty right? Thanks to Sam, Sybil and Tania for working so hard to make this place look amazing.

Just wanted to say a huge huge thanks to Sam for working so hard on this project and to Sybil and Tania who also did amazing jobs! Also thanks to YOU, my dear reader for reading up to this point in one of the longest blog posts of my life and also for..yknow…voting for me :D

Happy new year everyone!!! Firstly, before I start blabbering on as usual, just wanted to say a big thank you (again) to everyone who reads my blog and im so so so so flattered and honoured that everyone bothers to visit..pretty much repeating what I wrote on my xmas post but yeah, just very thankful! The response to my XXX X X X X XMAS giveaway has been great too and I wish I could afford to send everyone a present!


Monki mid-length dress, Zara leather jacket, Topshop ponyhair leopard belt, Prada snakeskin bag, Jeffrey Campbell Tube-2 ankle boots.

Okay on to New Years! After a HOT POT FEAST at home (srsly, check out the size of those fishballs….POW!!!), my friends and I celebrated at Kee Club in HK at the Champagne Supernova party hosted by my blogger buddy Valerie Soh! Turned out great and even though I drank a shit load, I didn’t even have a hangover! YAY for not being a grandma! BUTTTT, we are now back to regular scheduled programming which means no fun and all work. Luckily for HK, we have Chinese New Year coming up in about a month so yay for more holidays!


Our last photo of 2010!


What a cute fishy haha


AWESOME huge candle (honestly the melted wax was like 1.5 feet tall) but WTF how weird does my chopped off pinky look? lol


Seriously check out the candle..maybe MORE than 2 feet actually?


<3 my smart looking PB


SICK…i mean the rubbish. BE THANKFUL you don’t have to be the one on January 1st cleaning that shit up.

Don’t know if a lot of you have Tumblr but just wanted to remind everyone of mine! I just use it to mostly update daily stupid shit that’s going on with me or for posting some inspiring pics that I find from time to time. I also just recently added the “ASK ME ANYTHING” thing so if there was ever anything you wanted to know about me, feel free to ask!

P.S. Did anyone notice my curly hair!? After months of waiting for it to grow longer and for it grow healthier (DID NOT HAPPEN), I finally caved in and curled my hair! I didn’t leave the salon with the perfect tousled beachy wavy do that I’d hoped for, instead I walked out with a DRY, NOT SO WAVY and KNOTTY mop of hair on my head…but..I actually like it hahaha I’m all for the messy whatever look so I guess it’s all the same to me!

P.P.S. Friendly reminder to remember to sign up for my XXX X X X X XMAS giveaway! I’m giving away TWO prizes so hurry on up cos the giveaway ends on January 15th :)
