I do love my print....

Yesterday evening for the second time I attended the fabulous HK Fashion Bloggers’ Monthly Meetup event hosted by Jasmine Webster. This month’s guest sponsor was Hair Konnections, right up my street, as many of you know I am defiantly one for changing and experimenting with my hair dos! So in true Nicki Minaj style I opted for this fierce animal print hair piece.....very me n'est pas?

And all that Jazz....

The Jazz Age (music, dance and fashion) started in the 1920s, it saw the end of the great depression. Jazz played a significant part in wider cultural changes during that period, and its influence on pop culture continued long afterwards. The Great Gatsby, the Charleston dance, and Ray Charles all depictions of the 1920’s. As much as I love dance, film and music, It is the dramatic change in women’s fashion that took place during this period which I love the most. So when the guy and I went to a Jazz bar last night, I decided to emerge myself in the fashion and style.
The most iconic 1920s fashion was of course the flapper style, which became popular in the mid 1920s, alongside that, the drop waist dress, was very admired, often heavily beaded with a scalloped hemline. This era is where the Mary-Jane’s made their debut. The accessory that ruled in the 20’s was of course, pearls and lots of them, made famous by a certain Coco Chanel. To complete the look a close fitting headpiece or feathers were worn around the forehead. Some women also wore shrugs and long white gloves.
Millie did it so well last year in Made in Chelsea’s 1920’s party.
To ultimately finish the look of course you had to have wavy hair and red lips, re-applied at regular intervals!
The guy and I really enjoy stepping back a few decades, and I got to listen to one of my favourite instruments the sax!

Half naked men in HK

Last week I was wondering around central, minding my own business, turned the corner to Pedder Street, and I was pleasantly surprised. There was a sea of hot semi naked guys dressed in only red shorts, they were waving to the crowd of happy people, mainly women… of course I waved back not to be rude. Along with all the other females, I had a big grin on my face, and had my camera out to capture this.....
Abercrombie & Fitch Grand opening is Saturday, August 11 at 11am sharp at the historic Pedder Building in Central....see you there :-)

Shoe Spree

So last week I was a bit naughty and brought two pairs of gorg shoes, my justification was they were on sale and they have been exactly what ive been looking for: a crème pair of strapies from Mango, and some very high Burberry Prorsum esk style wedges for the great British shop M&S! Both shoes are so comfortable for trailing the streets of HK :-)
