You all know that us Geeks have been waiting anxiously for Tim Gunn’s return. Imagine our delight when we heard that there’s an All Stars Challenge to go with the premiere episode. However, after watching the episode, we feel a bit of a let down. Of all the fabulous contestants that they could have brought back to make it work, the powers that be made some pretty poor choices. We didn’t want to see Uli, Sweet P (accidentally typed her name as Sweat P!), Korto, Mychael Knight (anyone know why he...

We, the citizens of Hong Kong, suffer from a severe dearth of space. Our couches are cozily close to our coffee tables, our kitchens rarely come with space-invading conventional ovens and many bedrooms just don't hold anything more than a bed and dresser. It's my dream come true to one day have a living room set that doesn't touch any living room wall.But, such is the price we pay for convenience and a rockin' city life. Balconies are often non-existent, and when they are, are normally smaller than...

Despite having the world's most confusing and annoying website, Thomas Voorn appears to be a very interesting, quirky artist-designer who's taken a relatively simple concept and made a name for himself. What does good ol' Tom do? He makes weird sentences out of clothes, and places them in random locations, then photographs them. Bet you're having one of those "well I could do that" moments. Yeah, me too. But he thought of it, you didn't, and you can't deny the minimalist appeal of these weird and...

It's a pretty common complaint that there are no real vintage stores in Hong Kong. Admittedly, I haven't gone out of my way to find any, although HK mag and various other publications have done some round-ups of our city's piddling selection. Why bother seeking out a virtual boutique, however, when there are so many options online, though?Ever heard of a little online auction site called eBay? It's a treasure trove of pre-loved goodies, provided you can find the right sellers. One of them, who's...

Were you one of those kids who could never tell the time and felt that getting a digital clock was demeaning? Well hopefully by now you’ve learnt how to tell the time. If however, you are still having trouble, check out this German handmade marvel called QLOCKTWO. This clock spells out time via a typographic time format in 5 minute intervals combined with four-minute dots. The text is highlighted using light sensors that automatically adjusts the display to ambient light. The clock itself is made...

Check out these gorgeous bags from creator of Elly Clay NY, Crystal Haylett. New on the fashion market, Crystal started her design career in 2007 in order to create a bag that can be used from day to night. I’m particularly taken by the Botas studded hobo (pictured above). I’ve been looking for a hobo bag for a while but it’s hard to find one that meets my criteria; affordable and chic. While I haven’t had the chance to see the bag in person, this calf leather gold studded bag looks super soft....

I don't know why, but it's incredibly hard to find a really good New York-style slice in Hong Kong. And if you're looking for Chicago deep dish, you're better off trying the frozen food section at City'super. Californian pizza joints, however, seem to fare better in our city -- California Pizza Kitchen is pretty ubiquitous, and apparently Shakey's Pizza Parlor has been in Hong Kong for some time now, although they've been rather low key about it all. Locations already in operation include Sha Tin,...

I recently attended a wedding , and during the ceremony the pastor got into the whole meaning of wedding bands and the significance of the circle as a symbol of love. How touching and meaningful and all that jazz, yes. But just because you aren't getting married, that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge love with an alternate form of expression, capturing the spirit of the shape in new incarnations. A perfect example is this disc of a necklace from Tryst by Kerry that tells the world OUI -- YES I...

Regular readers of the blog will know that ShoeGeek and I are avid iPhone users. (Still contemplating on the 3GS though… not too keen to switch to 3 and Vinko insists that it’s much better to stick to Smartone). Anyway, tons of brands have infiltrated the iPhone apps market and now charities are doing the same. The Hong Kong Cancer Fund has launched a free iPhone application that brings you basic cancer information and aims to aid cancer victim and their families in coping with the disease by offering...

If you fancy seeing images of yourself plastered all over Hong Kong, head on over to Causeway Bay Lee Theatre Plaza, Mong Kok Wai Fung Plaza and Kwun Tong APM. Esprit is launching a campaign to find a group of friends to front their latest winter advertising campaign. There are no age restrictions and I hear that aspiring models from the age of three to 70 have showed up. In fact, one entry comprises of a group of Taiwanese work colleagues visiting Hong Kong and asked not to be identified or have...

No one can deny the power of makeup and a good skincare regime, but if you’re anything like us resident Geeks, you just can’t be bothered to go through a daily process of toner, serum, day cream, makeup base, foundation (liquid and powder), concealer, mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, lip liner, lip stick and lip gloss. Of course, if you’ve seen any of those viral emails where a fug girl transforms into a pretty lass, you might be inclined to give it a shot. If, however, you still can’t be...
