The Hotel Nikko isn't exactly at the top of everyone's list of favourite hotels -- I can't even remember the last time I went -- but if there's anything that can convince a gal to trek across a harbour, it's chocolate. And when you throw a bit of booze into the mix, it usually only increases that powerful, body-of-water-crossing aphrodisiac. Just make sure you have a ride home. (We blog like no one lives in Kowloon. That is the sad and sheltered life we lead. Sorry Kowloonies, we know you are regular...

Twitter is expanding its reaches besides being a social medium for connecting people, getting news and generally a forum for Bieber bashing. Partnering with Crushpad, a winemaker in California, Twitter has launched its own wine titled appropriately enough Fledgling Wine. Two vintages have been issued a 2009 Chardonnay and a 2009 Pinot Noir, which according to the FAQ on the site, appears to be an excellent vintage in California, potentially one of the best of the decade. There is a charitable element...

Yesterday I was telling you about how writing about Angry Birds plushies reminded me of an iPhone game to introduce to you and here it is. Chicken Battle is like the adorable if slightly inferior little brother of Plants vs Zombies . Still curiously addictive but like PvZ, not too challenging. Though the cute graphics kinda makes it worth spending the whole day playing the game just to find out what other types of chickies there are. The game doesn't offer as many levels and variety as PvZ and be...

The meaning of this title is twofold: firstly, that I am simply dumping this image orgy of Lanvin X H&M images on you because words cannot do justice; secondly, that if you just got dumped, having the ex see you all fabbed out in some crazy hot Lanvin x H&M is sort of the perfect revenge... or at the very least will allow you to feel good about yourself, if your ex is not some fashion-obsessed person. In which case, you're better off without him or her, no?Anyway... on to the full set of...

My inordinate interest in the Robert Kissel murder case continues anew after finishing Never Enough last night. Since the Hong Kong media has been banned from reporting on the new trial's proceedings, I shall have to get my milkshake murder fix elsewhere. And of all the random Kissel-associated media I found... John Stamos produced a Lifetime movie about the case? It's called The Two Mr Kissels. Yay for crappy movie titles that don't really mean anything. Stamos stars as Robert's brother Andrew,...

I'm of the extremely small group of people that aren't as enthralled with Angry Birds as the rest of the world but I suspect it's merely coz I'm more of a tower defense kinda girl. Which reminds me, I have another iPhone game to introduce to you all but more on that in another post. Anyway, for those who are in love with Angry Birds, yes ShoeGeek I'm specifically talking to you, maybe these would be some good Christmas gifts to put on your wish list. Limited edition Angry Bird plush toys. Available...

I cannot post today more than this because I am deeply engrossed in the wretchedly compelling words of one Mr Joe McGinnis, author of Never Enough, the richly seedy true crime novel that exposes all the sordid details of the Nancy Kissel murder. Hongkongers here in 2003 will remember the case well; our very own OJ-level murder mystery. And while I constantly berate myself for subjecting my brain to such horribly sensational truth-stretching drivel, it's made owning a Kindle well worth the price....

Ish finally cold enough to boot up. And I am off to sunny Singapore! It's midnight and I haven't finished packing yet so that's all for now, but the burnt orange toe on this reminds me of cliched sunsets and walks on the beach. A perfect amalgamation of warm summer-to-fall nights, and winter practicali...

It's surprisingly hard to find decent Italian food in Hong Kong so this week we ask you for recommendations. Image from Cecconi's in Soho which also has a great lunch set deal and decent pizza. It's about $138 for a two course lunch I believe. This week's Twitter tips question: What's your favourite resto for Italian in HK and tell us your must-order dish #hkfgtwittertips@sweet877 @hkFashionGeek Tuscany by H which is closed :( otherwise Ziti's in Tai Hang. Must order special pizza with an egg...

You know that line in American Beauty where that tortured emo guy who hooks up with Thora Birch is all like... "sometimes there's so much beauty in the world that it HURTS" and then Sam Mendes cuts to this video of a plastic bag flying around like it's meant to be some sort of visual cue to make us viewers realize, wow, the world IS beautiful, that plastic bag IS beautiful, in fact, we are ALL beautiful, hugsies! That was such a crock. But I still loved the movie. Anyway, what Mendes should have...
