Dilemma for life (almost)

I've been scratching my head for months in regards to whether I should buy the Acne Atacoma wedges (I'm sure you all know which ones I'm talking about, they've been all over the place!). Yes, because they seem to go with absolutely everything and because they're apparently very comfortable, no, because everyone else in the universe seems to have a pair...dilemmas dilemmas...what to do....So, when I finally came to the decision of sacking individuality off and getting pair (I just need them, simple as that), Acne went ahead and made them in a different colour for SS10, gun metal grey...um...typical, now I am once again back to base one...grey or black, grey or black, grey or black, maybe I should do that he loves me, he loves me not thing with a flower to decide, damn decisions, getting them both would just be outrageous though....help me.

Merry Christmas Love

Just a guy that likes to play around with strings and fabric

It's not often that I find local designers worthy of writing about, you know, the grass is always greener on the other side, and it's a terrible thing because there really is a lot of talent out here and they really do deserve a big thumbs up (perhaps even toes up)! One of them is Kei from Creature de Keis, who coincidently happens to have his own blog too, his womenswear designs are somewhat reminiscent of Toga Archives which I'm sure you'll all know by now is my favourite thing in the world/universe and I'm so happy I can find something similar now for a fraction of the price during these times of economic crisis (which is basically permanantly for me). If you want to get your hands on his stuff, it's stocked in PrayShop in Causeway Bay.

What do you think? Time for some local lovin' (and shopping).

Humanoid Woman

I'm not sure if any of you will have seen or heard of the film Humanoid Woman, it's possibly the worst and best movie of all time at the same time (believe me, it's possible), it's basically a Russian film about this woman created in space that tries to live on earth, but you really need to watch it to realise the brilliance of the film, the dubbing is awesome. Anyways, the point of this post is not about the film (even though I seriously think you should watch it), it's about the Dutch brand Humanoid. I wouldn't say the brand itself is amazing but they do make nice simple pieces perfect for layering, especially at a time like this, when layers after layers just aren't enough. There's a lot of grey which is probably another reason why I'm mildly in love...grey is no doubt the best colour (I know a lot of you won't agree that grey is a colour, but it is, to me anyway).

Love Home

I literally need all this furniture right now, sort me out, please. I think this really is the dining room of my dreams. That chandelier is the most amazing chandelier in the world, fact. Apparently, all wood slabs from Hudson Furniture Inc. pieces are domestically sourced from either salvaged trees or wind/storm damaged trees, which makes them just that little bit more appealing to 'tree-hugging hippies' like me (I'm sure you noticed the inverted commas, you see, I like to think I am). According to Barlas Bayler, the founder of Hudson Furniture Inc, " We put high regard and value on these trees by turning them into pieces of enduring art instead of leaving them out to decay." Precisely. These are pieces of art anyone would want in their home, it's not like woods ever gonna go out of style! The only thing is, none of the prices are listed on their website and I'm afraid to ask.

All items from Hudson Furniture Inc.

Look of the day: Doing winter

I'm not sure if non-Chinese people will know of or have heard of the Winter festival (Jo dong - which literally translates as 'doing winter'), it's not a big deal, just a pre-Christmas family meal/gathering, but it's always nice to meet up with the family. This year I went to the boyf's and had a very nice authentic Chou Chow meal...so there will be some food included in this post. I was feeling rather girlish so decided to wear my Anglomania skirt which has been in my wardrobe for god knows how long, but I always feel girly when I wear it, might be to do with the light texture and flowiness.

Wearing Vivienne Westwood Anglomania striped top, random self-cropped tee, VW Anglomania skirt, random leggings, random hood/hat, h&m x comme des garcon cardigan, h&m plimsoles.

Look of the day: Boomin' back atcha baby

I accidently (drunkenly) walked by this place with a somewhat spooky lighting on my way home from BOOM and thought this would be a good location for my look of the day pictures. All the building material and rubbish added to the contrast between my outfit and the location, I do tend to like things that clash...Warning: there is some serious posing here...yes, I was drunk and was in the mood for being a poser, forgive me.

Wearing Jean Pierre Braganza Dress, random pink tights and blue mesh top, H&M leather gloves, Topshop Boutique heels

And here's a pic of the boyf, I was quite happy with the outfit I put together for him.


Wearing Raf Simons knit top, random drop crotch pants, welovecolors.com tights, izzue scarf and vintage military boots
