One of the “prizes” I got from Paris over the summer was this wide belt from Sandro, a Parisian equivalent of Theory. Since then, it was been staple in my wardrobe. The perfect item to ac...
That is, my contribution to helping retailers turning their accounts from red “into the black.” My wallet is definitely in the red. Over lunch, I decided to go downstairs and check out th...
The idea started with Stella McCartney a few seasons ago, but was only recently cemented by the Duchess of Cambridge’s dark blue lace dress during her north America tour. She looked so feminine...
They say that Hong Kong is the canary bird of China. Coalminers traditionally brought canary birds with them into coal mines, and if the bird died of noxious fumes, then they’d know that they n...
Last night, we took an American friend from our of town to Peking Garden for dinner. One of those must-go touristy restaurants in Hong Kong (even though it is not really “Hong Kong” food,...
Every Monday morning, I tell myself that next weekend, I will definitely sleep early and not diddle daddle till the middle of the night doing nothing, and end up feeling extremely tired and unproduct...
I was just looking through this blog, and realized that a few years ago, I’d written a piece freaking out about turning a quarter of a century old. Now that I have actually reached this milesto...
Ever since college, and we saw Jolin (the Taiwanese version of Britney) do it in her MV, HG and I have always been very intrigued by pole dancing. Not in the strip tease way, but by how incredibly co...
Last Wednesday, in an act of spontaneity, HG and I took ourselves to Times Square over lunch time for the Peddar Warehouse sale (equivalent for us to going from mid-town to Soho). It is the bi-annual...
This weekend as I was searching for the perfect eye cream (which is hydrating, has preventative qualities, but does not cause millia and is not exorbitantly expensive), I bought a pair of pumps inste...
I got a call from my nocturnal aunt this morning at 6:30am telling me that there was a typhoon 8 going on and that work was cancelled for the morning. I haven’t had such great morning news for ...
Two days after I committed the next 9 months of my life to studying and signed up to do the CFA the coming June, I get a mild fever… I wonder if my body is trying to tell me something.
Every day I pass by the Moschino store when I go to work (along with many other stores, which makes for a very stimulating walk). Recently they changed their display to the FW12 collection. On passin...
Dear Gorgeous beige pumps, The first time I saw you on the Shopbop website, I was tempted. You looked so gorgeous, classic and Louboutin like staring back at me. On sale, and at more than half the pr...
A beautiful day in Hong Kong
Dear Gorgeous beige pumps, When
This morning while I was eating breakfast, my mom asked me why there was a hole in my dress. I looked down and realized that in my haste to get dressed, I d forgotten to zip myself up (it’s a s...
It’s a good thing my school never picked teams during PE (or gym as they call it in the States) like they do in TV shows and high school chick flicks. Otherwise, I’d most certainly would ...
I have a pair of extra black pumps, which I keep under my desk for rainy days. I was kind of playing around the other day with my shoes, when I got up to go do something at my colleague’s Bloom...
This morning, my mom accidentally put her iphone into my bag, as she was helping me pack a box of cherries for work (yes, the ritual is almost school like). She swears that I’d put it in there...
Today I was having an email conversation with some old girlfriends from the States (and I say conversation due to the rapid speed of reply. Usually it is like emailing into a black hole with echoes o...
I know I am not a teenager anymore and should not be so easily star struck anymore, but I couldn’t help but feel a little awe by the fact that I was in the same room as Miuccia Prada today. Gra...

My favourite college professor Dan Raeburn once said that if you want to be a good writer you must practice everyday. In fact, part of the course requirement was that we write at least 200 words ever...
If the economy in Hong Kong wasn’t so vibrant, the hippest restaurants in town wouldn’t have been fully booked on a Friday night, and I wouldn’t have ended up heading to a not-so-hi...
Manolos, Louboutins, Roger Viviers, I love them all. But out of all the shoe brands in that price bucket, I’ve never been a big fan of Jimmy Choo. Their latest collaboration with Uggs certainly...
Last year I saw a girl as a peacock during Halloween and thought it was genius. She had on intense make-up (she was a make-up artist at MAC) and a tail of colorful feathers- simple but effective. Se...
