Luella Sugden Silk Stripe Multi-shirt
Oh… Why oh why does life have to be so cruel? First, our wish of new stocks magically appearing at the Luella store is brutally slayed and now, the Luella website has ceased to operate entirely. Nonetheless, I’m just writing this post to remind everyone to stay positive because the Luella store in Elements is still open till the end of May 2010. This is surely the last chance to stock up on Ms. Bartley’s timelessly gorgeous and quintessentially unique and fun designs, which not only passes the test of time on style, wearability and durability, but also the stamp of approval on its terrific customer service, which you may not find elsewhere in Hong Kong. Don’t be overwhelmed by the relatively empty (or half-full) store, which only shows how popular it has been and is. Remember: the treasures are hidden deep beneath the ocean. For one thing, I hope I could find this exquisite pre-historic Sugden shirt at the surface of the store next time I make my routinary visit there. Of course, we gotta hurry! It’s a matter of timing and luck!
[Address: Shop no. 2084-5., Second Level at Elements, 1 Austin Road, West Kowloon, Hong Kong | Tel: (+852) 2196 8368 | Opening hours: 11:00-21:00]

The seductive shades of black and fiery fuchsia red are the principal colours of the bold and beautiful collection. In addition to featuring exquisite intimate pieces, like the Helisa Hegel triangle bra; the collection brings out some practical, mono-coloured, sweatpants looks to keep us warm and stylish.

French model Morgane Dubled shows off Stella McCartney’s Lingerie Collection Fall/Winter 2009
Each season, I look at Stella McCartney’s lingerie collection and it has never let me down. Stella has definitely convinced me that wearing granny’s high-waisted underwear is actually cool. Although she has gradually moved on from grandma’s undies in terms of conceptual designs, her understated collections remain sensual and alluring.

An example of how a flawless Luella handbag appears to the eye
Dear my beloved Luella Handbag,
Oh Luella! Oh my Lovely Luella! Even though I don’t even know your name for sure, (because your tag has fallen out unexpectedly when I brought you home); that does not mean that I do not love you. In fact, my love for you is deeper than an ocean and more infinite than infinity. I was tremendously shocked today to find that your flawless self has become… defected! Oh, my Lovely! Tell me – your true and only love – why art thou scratched? I know my true-blue shabby hobo style, which includes a daily routine of wearing a worn-to-shreds Tee (Not By Alexander Wang), naturally faded-to-grey Ksubi jeans and vintage-looking not-vintage shoes, does not deserve a complimentary accessory like you, but that does not mean that you have to blend in with my ruggedness by destructing yourself to match my poor standards. I appreciate your almighty thoughtfulness and your overly-kind gesture, but really, if you want to be kind to me, please continue being cruel to me by maintaining your perfectly impeccable appearance. I would very much be grateful of you forever and ever.
Kisses and Hugs,
-Your Lover-

Neil Barrett Crewneck Sweater With Unfinished Hem
It’s confession time: every time I browse through menswear in Lane Crawford, I always get hooked to Neil Barrett’s little sanctuary. I like his craftsmanship and his distinctive style. It’s discernibly something that is classic in terms of its impeccable tailoring; yet avant-garde with its innovative designs. One piece that I always point out to my family and friends when we ‘happen’ to be in a 2 km radius from the luxurious Department Store (Yes! I do force my friends and family to walk 2 km just to experience Neil Barrett live) is his crewneck sweater (EUR 305,00 EUR 154,00). I have pointed it out so many times that I believe the staff members actually recognize me and probably are secretly mad at me like a mad cow, because I not only soil the clothing with my self-acclaimedly ‘clean’ and absolutely ‘germless’ fingers, but also cordially invite friends and family to follow my daring lead. But honestly, is there any other way to experience Mr. Barrett’s charming collection other than touching it and raping feeling it from top to bottom and inside out? What makes this sweater special for me is its exquisite details. We love everything from the eccentric double collar design to the asymmetry structure finished off with a raw-yet-luxurious touch all over it. Although in grey and black, this 100% wool light-weight sweater is far from being boring and dull. Celebrate smart and stylish mens fashion with Neil Barrett.
Available at The Corner and Lane Crawford.

Red Laminated Jeans From Alexander McQueen
Other than dying to buy Alexander McQueen’s red ombre scarf dress, another item that I am absolutely tempted to take home is his red laminated jeans (USD $895.00 $354.00). I love this peculiar visual effect on the jeans. It shapes and sculpts the legs oh so lean and lovely as well as giving them a dreamlike super perfect fit! The glistening laminated touch all over the trousers also gives off a glamorous allure, which I just love! When the sun doesn’t shine, be a knight in Mr. McQueen’s shining armor!
Available at Alexander McQueen.

Pants Power
Been in the black is a physical property that my ‘black’ Ksubi jeans no longer possesses for a very very long time. Since they are in such a practically sad and worn-to-shreds state, I guess it’s finally time to say goodbye to “Ragged Brokenness” and greet the Newbie family in the Jeans/Trousers/Pants draw of my wardrobe. Amongst my soon-to-purchase list are:
Don’t underestimate a simple pair of pants! These pierced skinnies certainly have the power a pair of pants should have - smart, stylish and everlastingly chic! Available at La Garçonne and My Theresa.

KG by Kurt Geiger's Edwina Tan Courts Classic shoe
This pair of Kurt Geiger’s Edwina Tam Courts Classic shoe (£140.00) may appear rustic, old-fashioned and even outdated; but in actual fact, they are nothing of the above mentioned. With its beautiful soft rich tan and subtle snake edging, this pair of heels speak discretely of timeless elegance; yet with its incredibly sculpted body, it strictly marks a modern take on the Classic Courts shoe design. For sure, they are the perfect companion for any pretty floral dress.
