I believe in cheap disposable fashion coupled with "longevity items", and I'm not talking about classics like the perfect white shirt or skinny jean or black pant, I mean items that you will own and love for a long, long time whether they're in season or out. For me, those are things such as the perfect slouchy Marni bubble bag or the Chloe horsey pants circa Stella days or a pastel sundress in palest yellow that nothing -- seasons, age, cigarette burns -- will make me part with, even though it...

And.. I'm back. Mucho thanks to ShoeGeek for sharing the love with you all the past week as FashionGeek has been off trekking into remote parts of the world. To give you all some love for the upcoming long weekend, how about 25% off all Kate Spade items (plus an additional 10% off sale items)...

Always loved the whole pin-up girl thing so was kind of excited when one of our regular readers suggested a post about Varga Lounge, which is a new bar/lounge/hideout in Soho inspired by the Vargas-girl era. The sharp hues and kitschy decor make me want to kit my house out in tawdry nude silhouettes... The lamp is just about the most adorable thing you could put on a side table and what can I say about the mobile? It's a mobile, for crying out loud, an object whose purpose is to entertain crib-bound...

Since I'm sure you're still busy scrolling through the rest of this page, I'll leave you with a short final post today. There was a time when I would go on holiday and eat Burger King all day long (since it was only open in the HK airport) but now they're sprouting up everywhere! Besides Peak and Wanchai branches, the fast-food conglomerate has staked out a spot right next to Elizabeth House, opening on May 1. FINALLY, a mainstream burger joint in a mainstream location. About time, if you ask ...

I'm feeling very sing-songy today, so this post title is another homage to music. I watched Zach and Miri Make a Porno this weekend and experienced elation when The Pixies came on halfway through the movie, so the band is going to be experiencing a renaissance on my iPhone once I dig up the mp3s from my old computer. Obviously this post isn't about The Pixies, it's just another one of my random pre-segues to get you all excited about some pun or other I'm going to make (or have already). In...

That title won't make sense unless you watch Weeds, the box set, and became fascinated with the fact that the title track is performed by a different band, in a different musical style, every single episode. After watching the first season in its entirety you'll hear nothing in your head but "little boxes on the hillside, little boxes full of ticky-tacky!" Speaking of little boxes (no, not that, and get your mind out of the gutter), I'm not sure if anyone has tried Box Thai on Arbuthnot yet,...

The reason for this post is two-fold. The primary reason is because I discovered Frances May, which brought to mind all sorts of goodies that would have been perfect for the earlier post on attractive backs. The secondary reason (which is almost equally important) is pure vanity -- vanity, that is, referring to the insane self-inflicted glee that comes from making good (ahem, bad) puns. Yet to come: bareback, brokeback, backdraft, back for good... yes, I'm using them all here so I don't have to...

Ay caramba are these boots the best thing you've ever seen? Classic shape and style, killer heel, and on sale too. Give me one good reason I shouldn't take them off the market right now. Oh, because they're out of my size. Goshdarnit, why couldn't I be a 36 or 40?GET THEM on sale at LuisaviaromaGIUSEPPE ZANOTTI - ELASTICIZED LOW BO...

Not counting the age-old Vietnamese spots that have been in Hong Kong for millions of years, Le Soleil in the Royal Garden Hotel is probably one of the best Viet restaurants in town. I have to admit, I've always been a bit skeptical about Viet food that you eat in a hotel (after all, if you can get a beef pho for like $5, why pay more?) but was converted upon tasting the goods and realizing that their price list isn't too astronomical. And now, it comes with the pedigree of having been granted a...

"Business in the front, party in the back." So read the official style oath of every mullet-wearer on the globe, and hairstyle faux pas aside, they may have been onto something... there's something so dramatic and mysteriously sensual about a simple and proper front that belies a dramatic rear view. Plus, it gives whole meaning to the expression "Stop frontin'..." Haha, I just crack myself up sometimes. Below: something slinky, something cazh, something binding, something unexpected and something...

I really wanted to do a post on film-inspired fashion, and the movie I had in mind was not quite The Devil Wears Prada or SATC -- it was Hackers, which I watched in high school numerous times on VHS. It's probably the only Angelina Jolie movie worth watching, in my book (there may be more but I certainly can't remember them) because of its cheesy goodness and stylized vision of the underground world of hacking. It's near impossible to find good screen grabs from the film, but FashionGeek found me...

Every girl dreams of the big fancy wedding, the immaculate white gown, the fantabulous diamond ring and walking down the aisle to wed the man of her dreams. I was born without that gene. I dream of sitting on the couch with a big bag of Burger King chips (yes Burger King chips, discovered them in Taipei, sooo good), watching reruns of Friends until the end of eternity, laptop in my lap so I can surf the net and shop online and blog about what a loser I am for doing all of the above until the end...
