Metallic and Denim

Two styles I'd never see myself safely pull them off are both in the SS 11 Chloe lookbook. As much as I love their subtle elegance and sweet pastle metallic colours. These are not easy to get away with. And the fullon denim dress....Unless I'm going to a theme party travelling time back to the 80s....it's hardly a summery wardrobe choice. Before figuring out how to work them in real way, my credit cards are safe.

The Party Dress

Ok, there's only two reasons that can wake me up before ten on a Saturday- A Colin Firth film screening and a Sample Sale. In this case, the latter....

And in the piles of cheap T-shirts I found this precious baby, the Sass & Bide "Beyonce" dress. I suddenly started this obsession of party dress shopping, well it is party season indeed. First a pretty Phillip Lim SS 11 petal dress, which I totally almost bought when tipsy at the Lane Crawford party, tried on twice later on, still living it. And the next day, tried on a fancy studded orange dress at Liger, which I missed a zero at the very end on the price tag...

And today, this S&B at an amazing sample sale, 80% off. Lalala, I'm happy happy girl. Here's how runway and Beyonce rocks it....and real way with Isabel Marant suede pumps.

Harry does it again

.
I seriously don't even wanna rant about it...I mean it was totally my idea to drag myself into the theatre to see the new Harry Potter. Oh well, those Emma Watson Vogue cover did the magic.
Allors, this film is way way way too dark, too sophisticated, too racy for children....Maybe that was the exact definition of what children of this age's been watching....
It totally gets my eyes rolling when Harry stripped off to his briefs and jumped into the icy icy dark hole of water....Geez, what am I thinking....I ain't imply anything more than an freezing ice water hole....
Non the less, what's the matter with HP. I get it, it's been five or six episodes and he derserves to be loved, this poor innocent boy with evil blood in his veins is totally mother care deprived....hence the intimate dance with Hermione (the still teenage version of Emma that is) and in Ron's hallucination all the makeout....that's just....outrageous......They trying to make another Lord of Rings or what, at least LOR has better looking and taller Elfs!!
Anyway, I'm glad that's gonna put an end to all of it, the kids are grown up, hairs been cut short, time to move on. I'll settle for Hermione grown-up version....pls pls no topless making out with HP...it's just wrong wrong wrong

And the Princess Wears

It must be great if you are marrying Prince William, I mean, he's like Prince Charming in real life. Or it can be a reality show goes really wrong. Now I couldn't decide.
So if Kate Middleton wears Vera Wang on her wedding, she's probably gonna be regarded as a national traitor, for not choosing a UK designer. So VW or Prince Charming. I guess most of us would hesitate, give it a real hard thought and jump right into the arms of Prince Charming. Here's to Bruce Oldfield, or Issa or the other royal tailors to be...

Head over toes

This is the time of the year, proper haircut comes before splendid pedicure, with them covered in wellingtons or soon booties, strictly ankle high.

So this is a selfish post that I’m totally gonna show it to my stylist…who blows hairdryer as if he’s getting other body part blowed as well- if you know him, you know this is not exaggerating…

I’m at this freaking shoulder length stage that nothing is right….argh….so it’s either edgy short or stick it to the annoying length, but more elegantly…

The Balenciaga look, maybe a bit too aggressive.

The Reed Krakoff is short, comfy at the same time feminine…one way or another…

Here goes with the likely shoulder lengths…

Autumn bag: Chloe Marcie

It’s still a bit early I guess to start planning for AW wardrobe here in HK, given the weather’s still 38C+, but it’s never too late to start planning!

I saw an orange middle Marcie in Lane Crawford the other day and I couldn’t walk ever since (in courtesy of Charleen, how she described to me when she saw the exact Burberry purse she wanted for her mum).

Anyways, it got my full attention. And plus, if I’m only getting one bag this whole season, this is probably it!

I just hope it can fit in all my notepads, magazines, tempons, vodkas, mascaras and dark thoughts!

Vivienne Westwood X Melissa wing sandals

I’m too excited not to blog about it. I just finished a long day of interviews…running out of my mouthwater literally…And I got this call from God, the god like sales staff with Vivienne Westwood telling me this pair of wing sandals I was put on waiting list since last year….which I totally forgot…has arrived!

Even cow cow lurves the pair. They only have it in black white and red…I’d very much love to buy the both pair…but, yeah…i might end up wearing neither of them.

Certainly, white’s more summery I guess.

YSL’s color blocking

Loving the 10 Resort. Seen more colours this year than last, when there simply no Resor, no Cruise during credit crunch. So tired of mere pastel colours or monochrome and here’s some easy to wear colours. Thinking a bit of Chloe last year…

Round round shades

I just can’t stop looking at these lovely shades…Really like the ones bia Victoria Beckham..oddly.

Tsumori Chiasto AW 2010 Hong Kong

I don’t know which one’s worse, see through harem pants or sequined PJs with a matching sleeping cap…

That’s what happened at the TC show earlier the week. Will post more photos when it’s ready. I mean, the venue is lovely at Helena May. But the clothes just not too relevant.

Summer Sandals

I’ve been doing this summer sandal hunting for almost two months now, and made mistakes, impulsive buys and learned my lesson- no more cheap heels, never ever. I ended up with a pair of campers twins and another Chloe wedge, and my trust worthy old summer companions. There, I was just browsing through Who What Wear’s Shop the Closet and saw this magnificent emerald strappy sandals, pretty close to last year’s patent leather See by Chloe, I dumped before summer because it got all moldy in this super bloody humid city…which I deeply regretted now…Any ways, the list of wish to buy will probably continue to expand until the end of summer…

You guys out there have any idea where I can find these lovely pairs without paying some half-the-price shipping fee the get them flied from across the ocean?
