Natural light is the greatest thing God ever did for bloggers. I was trying to be less wordy with my posts; no one has the time to read long blog entries. I sort of always knew that, but my natural inclination to blabber on endlessly usually takes over. Blogging is a selfish interest anyway. So this was meant to be "more pictures, less words"... but I failed.We get a lot of our beauty products from PRs. I'm pretty much a makeup dork, so something like half of my makeup bag is gifted from PRs or...

Remember the Bulgari Save the Children ring that I coveted a year ago and finally purchased about a month ago? Well here’s the main reason why I bought the ring. Bulgari has come up with a second iteration of what I assume will become their annual Save the Children ring. There’s nothing wrong with this version, if anything it’s classic Bulgari and I’m sure will be another crowd pleaser. However, there’s something about the gothic version that appeals to me so so much more. The only problem with...

Style icon Anna Dello Russo will be coming to town tomorrow and Thursday to meet with Lane Crawford’s VIPs and share styling tips. Fashion Director at Large and Creative Consultant for Vogue Nippon, Anna has an eclectic fashion sense that transforms the most ordinary into the whimsical. Anna is rumoured to have over 4,000 pairs of shoes and us Geeks would die to take a peek into her closet. For those coveting Anna’s style, runway samples pre-selected by her will be available for Lane Crawford customers...

This is probably on one of those "you know you're Asian when..." lists already, but it still holds true. You know you're Asian when you squeal like a dirty little Lolita upon seeing anything that is sushi-related -- examples: sushi USB drives at the computer mall, sushi phone charms, sushi erasers, sushi slippers, sushi iPhone games, bag lines named Su-Shi, Hello Kitty dolls dressed up as sushi (no photo but I swear I've seen it) and the other way around, sushi dressed up as Hello Kitty...So I really...

I've never been too big a fan of The Veneta but this updated version has me lusting after it. Is it the colour? Is it the confetti texture? Or maybe it's just me suffering syndromes of shopping withdrawal from the embar...

I never knew I had such an overwhelming collection of rings until I needed props to test out my new iPhone camera app. And wasn't willing to leave the vicinity of my bed. It came down to either the contents of my bedside jewellery box, or the bewildering stash of snacks I keep within arm's reach, consumed and replenished daily. And yeah, bling porn won out over evidence of my descent into gluttony.The camera app is Super Camera, by the way. It's free and has lots of options, but Scrub and Natural...

It’s an interesting conundrum that watchmakers are dealt with these days. Time is so ubiquitous that you really don’t need to have a watch to tell time. I used to be a regular watch wearer until I got my iPhone and then since I hold my phone wherever I go, it became easier to just check on the phone than the watch. So now I think of watches as an accessory, a sort of bracelet or bangle with the added function to tell time. I’ve been looking to get some statement watches at a reasonable price and...

Maybe you thought I was crazy, maybe you really couldn't care less... but I knew The Shkirt existed in real life. Yeah, me and Alexander Wang, we really have the same taste.At La Garcon...

Some of you may know that I like to make jewellery and have an online store under the brand name Chic Infinity. Unfortunately, in recent months, the shop has fallen to the wayside as I’ve been dedicating all my efforts to my full time job and of course, this blog. Well, since I’m officially banned from shopping in a pact that I made with ShoeGeek, I was inspired this weekend to recreate a piece of jewellery that I am coveting, the Vera Wang asymmetric pearl necklace.I decided to create something...

Between this and the killer Peekaboos... I think I'm falling for Fendi. Who would have ever guessed, considering I have a Fendi tank and skirt sitting in a bag in my closet waiting to go up on the potential new blog/site ShopGeek for us to channel our unwanted warehouse sale finds and other stuff.Get them he...

In Central, for on...

There’s nothing I love more than to see awesome street style in Hong Kong. Honkies are routinely bashed for not having a sense of identity, for copying Japanese trends or taking on Korean trends. At the end of the day, I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing for us to adopt fashion from other cultures as long as you are comfortable with what you are wearing. I can see the hating on the people who are trying too hard and putting on certain outfits to look cool when you can tell they aren't at...

We had some regularly scheduled posts for you today, but in light of last night's events, thought it more tasteful to take a day to reflect on things less shallow than blogging about fashion. Like the people and family of people struck by last night's tragedy, to whom we offer our condolences and best wishes from afar, inasmuch as our thoughts can't really mollify anything. There's a million reasons to be angry -- poor judgement, bad aim, inept and rashly made decisions -- but I guess what matters most now is the healing. So may time heal the wounds...

I'm not sure if this is commonly known, but say you have UA miles that are soon to expire, but you don't really have a UA destination that you want to travel to, you can always extend your expiration deadline by shopping on UA Mileage Mall. There are a whole bunch of sites you can shop, but not all of them ship to Hong Kong. Shopbop is one of them, and with their free shipping to Hong Kong with any purchase over US$100, it's a wise place to spend. Since you're really shopping for the sake of shopping,...

This is another Bag Lady dedicated to ShoeGeek and no it's not an ode to pandas but rather an add-on to her post about our embargo as I've discovered the perfect complement to the messenger bag she covets for the iPad that she doesn't have. It would also be a good companion to the tan PS1 that she wasn't able to get. Ok this might be a post taunting her more than dedicating to her. Oops. Get the Temple leather iPad case he...

If you can't break a shopping embargo... divert your cash instead to branded tea sets, like this Chloe-inspired afternoon tea at MO Bar at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental. The meal is created by the famed chef Richard Ekkebus (who calls me "Princess," teehee, I think because he doesn't remember my name) based on flavours and scents in the Chloe fragrance, which include lychee, honey, rose, pink peony, freesia, magnolia and lily of the valley. Scones, pastries, finger sandwiches and pastries are...

It’s Friday and I’m lazy. So am just going to show you Guerlain’s latest make up collection via the power of images. After all, a picture’s worth a thousand words right? So here are several thousands wor...

I feel that I should start a Hello Kitty column dedicated to the random products that she's affiliated with. On my daily trawl of interesting things to bring you, I discovered that Hello Kitty is continuing to dominate the consumer market and the latest is a combination of a beverage (nope, not the wine that she’s not making) and Swarovski crystals (which she’s been fond of in the past). This time, she’s joined forces with Fillico, a company that specialises in making branded water from a spring...
