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]

Cheap Monday's Tamy Skirt
Never in my crazy dreams have I ever imagined that Seibu would one day become one of my favourite department stores to splurge. Well… Perhaps its the modest logo and/or the rather masculine company name. I am just not particularly addicted to it as much as some of the others extravagant shops in the market. Nevertheless, I guess what matters the most is what they stock, its quality and most importantly, the price.
Since sales have became a non-existent subject matter at most of my favourite stores at this time of the year, I had been sober… until strolling randomly on the streets, I found out that Seibu was still celebrating a merry time with final sales. As a result of this, I gained immediate strength and became a super vicious being knocking over some a couple of a few dating couples to grab all that pleases my eyes.

American model Shelby Keeton in Zeki Triko’s Sizzling Swimwear.
For 2009, Turkish designer Ziko Başeskioğlu presents his signature super streamlined and super sexy swimwear collection for his swimwear and lingerie label Zeki Triko. Vibrant colours and seductive cuts are on display under the lens of Australian photographer and director Daniela Federici. Infusing a touch of the natural with the artificial, the collection features bold graphic prints (stylised floral patterns, retro graphics and bold blocks of colours) adorned by metallic deco as well as sparkling Swarovski crystals. The resulting look, as revealed by American model Shelby Keeton’s all alluring poses, is contemporary yet fresh and free of all the complexity in modern life.

Russian model Maria Kashleva wears Viktor and Rolf's short taffeta dress
Just as you think you have had enough of the little black dress, here comes another one – making its way gracefully as the cool new kid on the block in my favourite list. In many ways, this little number (EUR 785,00) by Dutch designer duo Viktor and Rolf is beyond special. Naturally, the first thing that caught our eye is the razzle-dazzling diamante element. However, the exquisite material (100% China Silk), its stunning slightly squared-off shape (around the hips) as well as its fantastic front pockets design are not to be left unsaid. Wearable may not a word directly linked to the avant-garde Designers at all times, but this simply ingenious piece certainly shows the world something different! Just stunning!
Viktor and Rolf’s short silk dress with front pockets is available at The Corner.

Bowlerhat
Estonian model Olga Serova turns up the heat by playing the ultimate seductress showing off the most-wanted La Perla Black Label gear in the Italian brand’s Ad Campaign for 2009. The collection features a sizzling load of pieces, which plays along to the luxurious and fashionable lingerie label’s values and principles – original, authentic, edgy and always pushing the boundaries. For 2009, the look of the season carries different moods and vibes that are both surprising and intriguing: red light, night club, bowlerhat, lipstick, cabaret and money money. With no doubt, the decision to take home the entire collection is the ultimate desired solution of all!

See Me Under The Sun in Proenza Schouler's Sunnies!
Today, we revisit Spring/Summer 2009. Something I totally missed oh-so-unfortunately from that glorious season is Proenza Schouler’s funky sunglasses (USD $310.00). I like them, because the rounded frames add a quirky yet chic touch to any outfit, any look. The best thing of all, I find about them, is that they look great whether surfing in the Beach or cruising around the City.
Proenza Schouler’s sunglasses come in an envelope-style textured brown leather soft case with snap closure. Dust cloth included. Available at La Garçonne.

Dear Robert,
Please do not say I never consider for your welfare and that I only like to toy with your feelings and make your life miserable by parading Mathias you-know-who and loads of perfection in front of you. On the contrary of what you see on the surface, your happiness is indeed on the very top of my never-ending to-do list – just hidden deep down beneath me. Please accept this truck-load of images of Lucia as a token of my appreciation for your extreme effort on this blog.

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen in NK
When we talk about my favourite department stores, how could we not mention Nordiska Kompaniet (Swedish: The Nordic Company)? Well… I have never been to NK’s store in Gothenburg, but the one is Stockholm is enough to make me crazy every time I go there. I just love how they decorate the entire store – from the exterior to the very core of it. Everything is incredibly immaculate, like how it should be.
