Thoughts on HK

Hi everyone,

Apologies for my lack of posting lately, I have been busy taking in my newest city, Hong Kong. Having been here 2 months now I have fallen in love with this city. Though one might say I am still in the ‘fresh’ stage of experiencing a new city whereby one is easily impressed by their surroundings due to the mixture of the excitement being in a new place and the ‘holiday mode’ approach to things. But I am impressed with Hong Kong on a deeper level beyond ‘holidaying’ and can definitely see myself living here long term even when the ‘holiday’ feeling wears off.

Hong Kong has been wonderful. I am incredibly thankful to be here, to have this opportunity to follow my dreams in a new city, a city that is fantastically diverse in Fashion, Culture and Style, Food and generally all you can find in London, but better. I feel so stimulated here as if this city has fed me with dreams and hopes and the certainty of success. I am alive with a sudden newfound surge of energy, and I think that has come with the amount of hope and positivity and a certainty of my future that Hong Kong gives me. When people say the future is Asia, I strongly agree.

So on to my blog, though I am not in London anymore I am still a fashion obsessed, beauty junkie with a love of (too much) food and now it is my mission to seek the best of Hong Kong, I will share my experiences in HK (dining, fashion, style) and continue to write about anything that inspires me.

Look forward to sharing the ‘hong kong life of a girly girl’ with you.

Kate Moss & Maria Carla Boscono for Givenchy Spring Summer 2013 Ad Campaign

Kate Moss & Maria Carla Boscono. Can’t get more Supermodel Fashion Fix than that.

Loving this ad campaign.

Givenchy S/S 2013 was a stunning collection although I couldn’t help but notice the similarity to Lanvin’s Spring Summer 2012 collection. The structured chiffon, silver chokers,  shoulder armor like details and even down to the gel sleeked back middle parting hairstyle were quite reminiscent of Lanvin’s collection last year. Though perhaps more androgynous in the styling compared to the glamorous powerful female of Lanvin. We can always see similarities in designers collections, but in this collection I do not feel it is representative of Givenchy’s and would not easily identify it as Givenchy as with previous collections. Whilst I have always loved Tisci’s creations and this collection is interesting as I see a slightly more feminine take on the Givenchy woman with the gentle ruffle shapes of chiffon in pale blues and nudes, it does not however make me think of ‘the Givenchy woman’ in fact Lanvin springs to mind far too quickly.

Andy Warhol 15 Minutes Eternal Exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art

Andy Warhol 15 minutes eternal is must see if you are in Hong Kong.
A great display of Andy Warhol’s work including the pop art paintings of Mao, Valentino, Muhammad Ali and Carolina Herrera and his Polaroids of various stars and icons such as Mick & Bianca Jagger, Stallone and many others. Some of Warhol’s time capsules from 1974 is also on display with photographs, books, magazines, invitations and various representative objects that give us a snippet into Warhol’s private world.
A must see for all those in Hong Kong.

Baroque into my life

20121217-123650.jpg

dolce & gabbana autumn winter 2012 baroqueBaroque is my favourite trend this season with Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana being my autumn winter dream wardrobe. Lavish and decadent fabrics with bejewelled and embellished ornate details make for a 17th century aristocratic royalty. But whilst I keep dreaming of THAT Balmain Baroque dress I have found some great pieces on the high street that are channeling this autumn winter trend. And the key to this trend is accessorise and accessorise big!

Beautiful photography, Tian Yi has such a striking yet soft face.
Love the clothes and can’t wait for Spring Summer fashion already – looks like Pastel is repeating itself but I don’t mind at all :)
