A little word vomit for you: This here wee little blog started as a small oh-look-I-stole-my-brother’s-DSLR-need-to-post-my-pretty-pics-somewhere sort of blog and has slowly started gaining a little momentum and I’d like to think that I’m at a semi-high point for my blog right now…so having said that, I’ve slowly yet what seemed so suddenly have fallen into quite a little rutt here with SWO. Now that the popularity of blogging has increased by 100000%, everyone and their mother (literally, my mother has a blog too but more on that next time) has a little blog and it’s exactly that: ONE LITTLE BLOG in a sea of blogs who have mini-blogs and micro-blogs and blogs on top of blogs on top of more blogs.

So what makes your blog stand out? Is it your style that draws people in? Is it your insightful ramblings or funny annecdotes that keep them locked in? I think some of the best blogs out there are a combination of all things. Anyway so along with my blog layout overhaul, I’ve been thinking a lot these past few weeks on what sort of changes I want to bring to my content. I want to introduce some new “features” and fun posts instead of my typical “I went to this event, I wore this, I ate this, I’m hanging out here…lalala” Which is all fine and dandy too but I feel like I need to inject something NEW INNOVATIVE EXCEPTIONAL WOWOWOWOWOW. As you’ve maybe already seen a few posts ago, I’ve introduced ddtv (:D) which I’m hoping to work on more. I’ve been brainstorming ddtv ideas with my right hand man and am quite excited for the small videos I’ll be cooking up. Nothing too major so don’t get too excited though and also, feel free to comment below with some ideas on videos or any suggestions on what you’d like to see.

The other day I had dinner with some of my longest-time friends and one of them mentioned they’re going through a quarter-life crisis (ha!). It actually got me thinking and I think I might be going through one too. This year I’m craving so much change and difference that I want to do everything differently. Well, the same thing but in a different way I guess. Blogging is a way of peeking into what could only be a small fraction of someone’s life and yet it has so much power to make you want to change or adapt or create something new for yourself. Everyday for everyone is a struggle, whether with your blog, yourself, your clothes, your body, your image or your work, your family and the list could go on. It’s easy to say you want to improve and get better or whatever and you could try and have all the determination in the world and yet you still might never achieve what you want. Such is life, no? All you can do is continue to work hard and hope that you’re getting closer to what you want to achieve. Oh hello, I guess I’m Captain Obvious today.

Anyway this here little ramble has gone on for too long now, and I’ve probably lost a couple of readers few sentences in but just wanted to let you know to look out for some changes and if you have any suggestions, please let me know! /end rambling

Thanks for reading :)

P.S. Unintentional Glee reference in my post title.

P.P.S. I really want the New iPad…….): anyone care to gift me an early bday present :D?

For the TL;DR people, some pics from back in Dec when I was in New York. I’m currently missing my bf and New York so deeply and intensely.

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.
