LATELY I’VE BEEN THINKING

This post is all random photos of things…

Dunno if anyone has noticed but for the last 2 months or so, I’ve been wearing my new matte tortoise Warren glasses from SPEX Club! Oh just tried to link to the Warrens online but apparently they’ve discontinued that style! You can try go for the Hobbs or Apprentice instead! Oh just realised on their site that SPEX CLUB (cute cute name) has actually changed their name to LOOKMATIC now! Weird! Anyway, I ordered 2 pairs through the refinery29 Reserve deal a couple of months ago so I got the Warrens, and PB got the tortoise FDRs.

A couple of weeks ago I attended the preview of the latest Tangram collection at Whitespace and spotted this ultra-cool and stylish girl. I loved her vintage looking skirt with the ripped/cutoff sleeves blouse paired with her amazing Alexander Wang bag and super cool ACNE wedges. Seriously loved everything about this look even her carefree super cool attitude..le sighhhh

For more on Tangram, check out theWanderlister+’s updates here!

Again, sometime in the last few weeks I headed out to the newly opened department store CENTRAL/CENTRAL (the old HMV in Landmark, Central) to support Priscilla, Cindy and Tania! The new store houses different brands such as Karen Millen, Steve Madden and others and for the launch, HKHQ.tv filmed a video featuring Cindy and Tania and styled by Priscilla! Make sure you go and check out the incredibly cool space (outfitted by Omar Khan Collective) and go watch the video!

In the photobooth photos above can you tell them I’m wearing my new DIY spike headband? I didn’t bring my camera out that night so didn’t get any good pictures. I love that it’s kind of girly and ladylike (I neverrrr wear headbands cos of that) but the spikes totally adds a touch of HARDCORE to the look. I’d be happy to make some for you so whoever is interested in buying one, please email me ONLY!

The bunch of necklaces I’ve been wearing lately: a black DIY cross necklace, my mom’s old gold wedding ring and a ring with my BFF Julie on a gold Kenneth Jay Lane chain and lastly, my skull pearl from my mom’s pearl collection: Susan Sng. (Email her for inquiries!)

My ombré hombré bombré nails that I just did just now out of boredom. If you are planning on doing this, make sure you use some cheap clear nail polish for the blending cos the colours WILL fuck it up when you keep reapplying the clear one.

About a month ago I headed out for some post-work sale shopping with JJ theWanderlister+, Tania and Mandy to the Pedder Warehouse Sale in Times Square. The first pair of shoes I picked up were these navy blue Mary Jane by Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony. I didn’t see anything else I liked and these were such a good deal that I really couldn’t bear to put them down..so I ended up getting them! It only came with one bow since these are from the warehouse but I would’ve taken them off anyway! I still haven’t worn them yet..but I’m already expecting some sort of swollen/bruised ankle from a fall that is bound to happen in these. The huge platform helps with the height but still..this shit is super high!

Cheap Monday Bomber Jacket / Shearling Biker Jacket / Curly Shearling Coat / Faux Fur Contrast Coat / Navajo Parka

And lastly, it’s already a week into November but the weather in HK is still soooo hot. Seriously, we’re all still in t-shirts and Christing even went to sunbathe at the beach today! That’s how hot it is!!! Guhhhhh I’m dying for Winter and all the fun layering and jackets that come along with it. Anyway above are some winter jacket picks from ASOS that I would love to have in my closet…I’m really really considering the navajo parka and the contrasting fur jacket – both don’t seem toooo thick for HK but I’ll wait to see what I can buy on my upcoming trip to….New York!! ;)

Okay thus ends my super random update…I actually have another update scheduled for the next few days so make sure you check back later! BYE BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

NOT SO JUICY

All clothes and sequined iPad bag as clutch from Juicy Couture. Steve Madden Gretta Platforms.

A couple of Fridays ago I was invited to the launch of the new Fall/Winter Collection for Juicy Couture. I’m one of those that still have this mindset that Juicy Couture was just about the sweat suits (omg sweat suit sounds like some sort of PVC suit that you wear to sweat your fat off and make you skinny…gross) okay anyway back on track..so I was invited down to the store a few days ahead to pick out an outfit to wear for the event and I was super surprised when I found quite a few pieces from their new collection that I would totally work into my wardrobe. The clothes were surprisingly really cute and trendy and it took me really long to finally decide on this outfit..mostly because I was distracted by the 10+ Mainland China women trying on 100s of different combinations of the infamous velour sweat suit. I had my eye set on this gorgeous shocking orange lace dress (seen below) but the sales lady said someone else had already reserved it to wear at the party..such a lie! I saw no such lady on the night! Lying gypsies!

So Friday rolled around..and I rushed out of work and got ready in the IFC bathroom before meeting up with Carmen, Julie, ChristingC and Dan! We hung out at the store, drank champagne from cans, considered a pink velour doggy suit for obi (Uh..no) and just had fun!

Thanks Juicy Couture and IPS for the fun night!

A close up of the iPad case that I used as a clutch. Reallllyy cute and sparkly and since it’s padded inside, when you’re REALLY tired, like I always am, you can stuff a sweater in there and use it as a (really prickly) pillow!

Chain bracelet on my right from Juicy Couture oh and HOW cute is the love bird print on this top?

This is the orange dress! The only time I ever considered wearing something so bright and colourful and I couldn’t even wear it

A section in the store for Bird by Juicy Couture, their cooler edgy line.

Some questionable drinks at the party..

But champagne in a can made up for it!

Oh and cake pops!

MGF: My goat friend

They had this cool shocking orange trolley filled with accessories to style a model and have your picture taken with her for a Facebook competition! Not really sure how that turned out though…

There was also a little nail bar by Suki nail

The sweets that night were sponsored by Petite Amanda, one of HK’s premiere top model Amanda S’s new bakery!

And lastly my mama came last minute after the China TEE Club farewell party (DAMN YOU ABERCROMBIE).

ASOS x HK BLOGGERS TEA PARTY

denise — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 07:11:41 +0000

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.
