For the fourth time, I ventured out to line up for the YSL Manifesto! This season the black canvas manifesto tote featured this season’s campaign with the regular-faced Arizona Muse (seriously, I wouldn’t be able to pick her out of a line-up).

Nice and early on a Saturday morning I started lining up around 10:45 (yes early bird I am) and was shortly joined by Michelle (of Mizz Shopaholic) and Cko (from HKFashionGeek). This crazy menopausal old lady behind us went nuts and started fussing about them joining me in line. She kept insisting that it wasn’t fair to other people (even though it wasn’t like there was a million people in line and that she wasn’t going to get her free tote) and even asked people around her if they minded (to which none of them even cared). We happily offered to let her go ahead of us but she kept insisting it was the principle that people shouldn’t be allowed to join their friends in line. She then calls over one of the YSL staff and starts complaining to him but even he was like “oh if you have some friends who wanna jump in then yeah! feel free to call them to come along!” Oh god, boring old tai tai’s need better things to complain about.

Anyway did anyone else manage to get the tote this year?

After stuffing our faces with yummy brunch at Oo La, we headed over to Times Square to hit up the Pedder Warehouse sale. I’m just going to go ahead and admit that I spent I think over 2 hours walking around. No, the sale wasn’t really big or had a lot of variety but that’s just me; I like to scour around for hours just looking at everything and making sure I don’t miss anything really good.

Yes, those floral/tree/leafy-heeled McQueens! Even on sale they were about $12000 HKD (~$1500 USD)

Crazy Alaia! Cko actually tried them on hahha so cute.

If you follow me on twitter, you should already know what I treated myself to at the sale..but I’ll save that for another post :)

The other day I was scrummaging around in my mom’s room for any goodies I could find and I discovered that my mom has bags inside bags inside boxes inside more bags inside even more boxes. She has vintage bags kept since the 80s – lots of granny style top handle/buckle bags (slightly toooo granny for me really) but I did manage to score two really amazing finds:

CUTEST little buckle bag from Celine! I think she said this one was from the early 90s. My mom bought it from a Celine sale and she thinks it was used on the runway cos she found cute little runway notes written on a small piece of paper stashed in there somewhere.

“Auntie dd what’s thisssssssssssss?” (also for bag-size-reference)

AMAAAZZZZZZZZZZING hot hot hot red Giorgio Armani purse! The only downside is that the handle is a little weird length on me but if I just tuck them on the inside, it can be used as a CLC (cutey little clutch).

Nanz used it the other day to the Dior Addict event and in this pic you can see the straps.

On another totally separate note, howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww amazing is the matte finish top coat? God I’m obsessed now. Okay my fingers look kinda manky in the photo but I loooooooove the matte finish! Thanks so much to Virginia from HKFG for taking me nail polish shopping!

AND lastly, I posted on tumblr about whether Asians can wear pink shadow above black eyeliner. I decided to test it out the other day but I don’t own any pink eyeshadow (or any eyeshadow really) so I just used my NARS blush in Gilda that I applied with a small slightly wet brush. I’m quite happy with the way it turned out since it’s quite subtle! Thoughts thoughts? And yehh….i rarely wear contacts.

okay that was a huuuuuuge post about so much crap and now I’m going to go lie in bed and watch Modern Family. Thanks for sticking around! BYE!

Pretty much all random/old necklaces except for the Dolce & Gabbana rosary

Omg so it’s been a million and a half years since I’ve last updated and really I can’t even think of a good enough excuse. Maybe not being able to find my memory stick reader is good enough..srlsy wherethefuck are you!? Pissing off as you can tell..okay anyway..moving on…some current events:

Few weeks ago we attended the Gucci fashion show held at TDC. It was pretty fun although the show started well late and I was getting zleeeepy. The shoes were, of course, absolutely amazing and super super high – so high that some of the models were literally LEANING BACK *cue Terror Squad’s Lean Back* in order to walk properly. There was one EXTREMELY pouty male model that was pretty much pulling a Blue Steel.
This was the only photo I took at Gucci..off my crappy Nokia, during the finale walk down.
I haven’t bought ANY clothes in ages and I feel like my wardrobe is just falling apart. I literally wear the same thing all the time -.- so I bought some silly dark grey acid-wash type jumper dress thing yesterday..just for the sake of buying something.
Went to the YSL Manifesto thingy in Central which actually just meant lining up and receiving the bag, getting questionnaired, then leaving instantly. For some reason my stupid brain didn’t think I had to get there earlier so I arrived maybe 30 mins before they started handing them out. The line was inSANELY long by then and it was flaming hot by the time I trecked to the end. Now for some strange reason, Hong Kong people LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to line up…seriously for ANYTHING. On my way down the line I saw at least 3 OLD couples lining up..OLD meaning 60+ years old. When Hong Kong people see a line, they just join it, REGARDLESS of what it is. They’ll line up for hours not knowing what it is and if they get to the front and perhaps realise they hafto pay for whatever, they’ll just be like “oh nvm” and walk away. I’m pretty sure all the granny old couples lining up for YSL had NO idea what they were lining up for..and when they received their bag..they’ll probably just bring it home and dump it with all the other useless crap they’ve accumulated over the years. Anyway more pictures on this below (unfortunately, none of the grannies).
umm…this bullet point deal isn’t working out I seem to be blabbing on as usual anwyays…complete bullet point FAIL.

Wah! Two outfits in one post! Yeh yeh yeh! This was what I wore out the day of the YSL Manifesto thing. I hardly wear contacts..just cos it’s not good for my eyes but did that day cos it was sooooooo sunny and wanted to wear my Raybee Wayfarers out for the first time! Don’t think I’ve posted on here that I got them. I know eeeeeeeeveryone and their mother has a pair…(literally, my mother got a pair before me) but I bet not even half of everyone got theirs for $50us!!!! And no, they’re not fake nor second hand..but incase you were wondering, they’re straight outta Century 21 :D
