Even though the Margiela knuckle duster (above) I got myself (and my sister-in-law, bought the last two in the shop) for Christmas is super comfortable to wear, it doesn't make typing very easy. When I discovered these Made Her Think rings online, they pleased me to no end. They fulfill the multi-ring effect but without constricting your hand span, because they're attached by chains instead of fused together. Only problem is that they're a few hundred USDs, money I can't be spending on buying rings...

With CNY coming up, Bally is trying to convince you that instead of red packets, everyone should be giving out Bally gift cards instead. The concept is pretty straightforward, it's more the marketing angle that needs work. The beauty of the gift card is that it allows the recipient more freedom to choose what he/she wants -- to give a gift card instead of a red packet, aka cash, is, to a certain extent, taking away that freedom.Also, given that the cash denominations usually received in lai see...

Tszuji.co.uk, an online website that sells shoe storage systems have come up with the research to support our shoe buying habits. Conducting a survey with their customers, women were asked about their feelings towards their footwear, and what they could remember about their shoes compared to their relationships. Findings include:92% of women remember the first shoes they bought with their own money, while only 63% recalled the name of their first kiss. 96% of women regret throwing away a pair of...

I've never been a big fan of poetry yet but for one of my majors when I was doing my Bachelor's degree, I decided to do Creative Writing with a focus on short fiction and poetry. To my immense surprise, I found poetry really enjoyable and in fact fell in love with quite a number of poets. My all time favourite is still Pablo Neruda The Book of Questions while ShoeGeek proclaims a love for Nikki Giovanni. Having been back in Hong Kong for a number of years, I've never managed to make my way to the...

The stylish woman's uniform is pretty simple: skinny jeans, black blazer with rolled-up sleeves, loose T-shirt that hits at the hips, you know the look. A hundred million women own these staples, but no two have the same collection of T-shirts, I'll guarantee you that. The T-shirt is where every human expresses him or herself, sending a message about what he or she is all about. Are you wearing the Nike logo-sperm hybrid that reads "Just do it"? Yeah, you're funny, we get it. The solid fitted tee...

We've always thought being a geek is pretty sexy and now we are getting affirmation for our beliefs. The creators behind the iconic Barbie doll is asking us to vote for her next career and Mattel is fully on board with geekiness being the next big thing. Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has had over 120 careers. She's been an astronaut, a pilot, a rock star, and a veterinarian. And for the first time, Barbie can indulge in her techie side and become a computer engineer. Cast your vote he...

Through an extremely circuitous route, us Geeks ended up being invited to Liberty Private Works to trial the omakase menu prepared by chef Makoto Ono, who is one of our favourite chefs ever. We had had the privilege to try his food twice before, once at a private dinner held at Prive and another when he was guest-cheffing at Dakota Prime, and I distinctly remember thinking, the first time I tried his food, that his was the best meal I had had all year. Bear in mind, too, that besides being a dedicated...

Okay now there's actually a fashion-related angle to this whole Robert Downey Jr gushfest, courtesy of Cole Haan. You don't hear that brand name mentioned too often in relation to the red carpet, probably because Cole Haan is known more for comfortable basic shoes you wear to the office if you have to take the MTR. They're comfy but not the sexiest thing you've owned, by far. Surprisingly, Cole Haan made an appearance at the Golden Globes, and beyond that, made a pretty loud statement when it came...

By now I'm sure you've all heard about the NBC drama that has ensued since the powers that be decided to give Leno back his old spot and move O'Brien to a later spot. I've been following the story quite a bit (rooting for O'Brien I must admit). He just had his last show last Friday and I must say that his antics have gotten more and more amusing throughout his last week. I have nothing more witty to add but because it's Monday morning and we all have to work again, I decided to showcase my favourite part of his farewell programme (where he blows...

It's never really bothered me that Robert Downey Jr was a bad-ass, except in the sense that being in jail or on probation or coked out or whatever prevented him from making movies and TV shows. His presence onscreen makes everything better, and he is in my humble opinion the only man who can carry the suffix "Junior" and still retain an aura of coolness. Not to mention the fact that he is the hotness. There's not really a point to this post except to say that, and that I'm glad that he won the Golden...

Women are never satisfied. Only three wears in to my amazing ASOS motorcycle gloves, and I'm already sweatin' these amazing American Retro over-the-elbow fingerless gloves. And I'll be needing a kick-ass pair of over-the-knee boots to go along with them for the mummified lo...

Nuh-uh they didn't! The Olsen sisters borrow that red sole to put on their adorable Rizzo booties with an impressive metal pin heel. If you ask me, they didn't even need it.Get them at Shopb...

Shu Uemura will be launching the rouge unlimited supreme shine on Feb 1st in Hong Kong. Boasting of "the ultimate fusion of pure, high fidelity colour supported by the brand’s signature hybrid pigment technology. The new lipstick provides infinitely a deep, dewy shine. The breakthrough formula amplifies colour and magnifies shine with two revolutionary ingredients of film keeping capsules and ultra shine oil for a deep moisture feeling that glides over lips like dew." Whether or not that's true...

We promised you free stuff and you're getting free stuff -- next up in our lineup of giveaways is a Chinese New Year treat, an abalone and turnip pudding with air-dried meats (okay I'm sure it tastes better than the name implies) worth $288. Obviously these things have expiration dates, so instead of the actual pudding you'll be receiving a coupon to pick it up from the Four Seasons Hong Kong in IFC, Central. We don't have a pic, unfortunately, but it's a three-Michelin-starred pudding, you really...
