I'm normally not a fan of bows but there's something appealing about this off-kilter bow. From Sonia by Sonia Ryk...

When I posted last week about the top 10 LBDs at NYFW, among the selection was a sort of caped Paris 68 dress that gave me wet dreams about being a caped crusader-Catwoman kind of hybrid. And then I noticed that it wasn't just one designer that created garments utilizing this silhouette/neckline. Spotted in London and Milan:Christopher Kane did a more structured version that might only give you limited arm mobility...Luisa Beccaria did a very demure, lady-like pleated blue...And at Emilio Pucci,...

Here’s some fun trivia for your Friday morning. Reader’s Digest recently conducted a survey in October on the city’s most trusted people and professions and the results are in. Josephine Siao Fong-fong is considered Hong Kong’s most trusted person while our leader Donald Tsang is ranked 77 out of 80. My question is, if you flip the list around, do you get Hong Kong’s list of most least-trusted people? And if so, does that mean Donald Tsang is third on the list? And who is number one on the least-trusted...

Not quite the shoe porn you're used to, but for a footwear fiend like myself, there's nothing cuter than a dog bed inspired by the croc. Who's a cozy little corgi?Get it at Sasquatch! Pet B...

Fans of British skincare and spa brand Elemis should go check out their new Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser at Pacific Place this week. Developed in response to the trend towards richer and creamier cleansers, Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser contains deep-cleansing waxes that remove make-up while providing anti-oxidants to nourish the skin. So why head over to Pacific Place? Elemis is holding an exclusive preview this week where you receive free samples of the cleanser when you undergo the free 15 min...

There are a few things that we all have in common -- we all eat, sleep, poop, etc. When it comes to the category of us ladies, I'm pretty sure that amid all the differences, one thing we probably have in common is that we each own at least one incarnation of the Little Black Dress. In my case, it's more like 30 different versions. But I thought it'd be interesting to trawl through all of New York Fashion Week and find the 10 best LBDs around (I haven't gotten through LFW yet). Starting with the...

After a KFC smorgasbord last night which I chased with blueberries, shrimp chips and swedish fish, I should by all rights be curled up in bed with a tummy ache, but instead I'm ogling hearty food photos as I slurp my morning yogurt. And what's getting me particularly hot and bothered this AM is the Good Wife Sausage, available at the Belgian pub-restaurant, Frites. This new addition to their already lethal menu includes a half-metre-long sausage slathered in onions and gravy, coupled with mashed...

I always think beauty press releases are the hardest to write as you need to balance the fine line between the technical scientific terms and breakthroughs which can lead to a snooze fest or the flowery meaningless copy that is meant to intrigue but doesn’t give any solid information. I just received one from MTM Custom-blended Skincare where they are promoting their first whitening product; the Custom-blended Whitening Moisturizer. What drew me attention to the release is firstly their image and...

If you’re looking for a strangely addictive, fun casual game for your iPhone or iTouch, PopCap’s Plants vs Zombies will do just the trick. Taking the traditional tower defense game model (and admittedly one of the easiest tower defense games I’ve ever played), Plants vs Zombies’ appeal is in the cute graphics, giggle inducing descriptions and innovative concept. The premise is that a mob of zombies are about to invade your house to eat your brains and your only defense are these plants that zap...

Some say fashion is a type of armour against the world, but I don't think that those people had this in mind. The lovely Nicola sent us this crazy concept ensemble by artist Tetsuya Noguchi paying homage to the classic brand Chanel. For some reason, I have this image in my head of that scene from Glee, when the football team does the routine from the Single Ladies music video to distract the opposition. How many samurais would stop in their tracks at the sight of this haute-couture outfit? Bear...

Geeks gotta know how to do good nerd, and nothing says nerd like a pair of thick-rimmed glasses (or, failing that, a pair of perfectly round Harry Potter glasses). My eyesight is poor as hell; I've been wearing glasses since the tender age of seven, and finding good frames has always been a pain. But these frames from Prism London are the perfect balance of geek and chic to make me reconsider my contact lenses. I've also seen these wooden frames at shops around town that have quite an earthy, cool...

Tired of your boring black or white PSP? Come March, you'll have a chance to get your hands on a pink one. Designed in collaboration with American fashion brand Jill Stuart, this PSP will be rolled out early March in Japan. Buyers will get a Blossom Pink PSP, a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (Mark2), an AC adapter and a pouch and cloth designed by Jill Stuart. (Sidenote: I wonder how much designers earn for these collaborations. It seems to be minimal design and only a matter of slapping a logo onto some...

Since our intrepid FashionGeek is putting her Geekness to good use by creating tabs for us on the page, I'm helping out with Bag Lady duties and boy are there a lot of hot handbags out there... I'm so used to looking for shoes that I've neglected this entire category of accessories on which I can squander more of my meager salary. Which, of course, would promptly go to waste as I'm the world's laziest person when it comes to switching purses, I've been carrying my Downtown every day for the past...

Since the weather decided to have a temper tantrum and give us the cold, cold shoulder, I've been living in my puff jacket (even indoors) and dreaming about getting myself a shearling jacket to wear on the three days a year Hong Kong gets ridiculously cold. New York Fashion Week is a great place to window shop for such an item, as the city's cold climate and commitment to utilitarianism makes a perfect backdrop for such an item. My favourite one is this black-and-white Helmut Lang... what an underrated...

With the horrendous change in weather in Hong Kong, leggings have become a regular staple of my daily outfit. Lately though, I've been eying my leggings with disdain. With the exception of my fabulous black leggings with yellow slashes that I mentioned in our interview with the Sassy girls, all of them are boring black pieces. With that in mind, I set out to find more unique leggings that could spice up an all black ensemble and turn them into a focal point. After some scouring, my mission was accomplished...

So a few weeks ago, we talked about Mattel asking us to cast a vote as to what career Barbie should embarked on in 2010 and one of the choices was Computer Engineer Barbie. Well, the geeks have spoken and she is now about to launch a career in the technology world. So now our question is, what kind of outfit would she wear? According to the press release, Barbie will be wearing a binary code patterned tee and equipped with all the latest gadgets including a smart phone, Bluetooth headset, and laptop...

When the people from Coach came to Hong Kong and met up with a bunch of local bloggers for lunch, I told their digital director David that I'm not his target audience, because Coach is entry-level luxury, and in my job, it's important to hang onto that more elusive brand of unattainability. I have carried Coach in the past so it's not disdain for the brand, just that it doesn't catch my current fancy. Well that might just have changed. Michelle Tractenberg has designed a capsule collection for Coach...
