I like the child-like prints of animals and stars at Miu Miu’s SS10 runway. They remind me of the pretty Paul & Joe Beaute prints! But I’m not sure how I feel about actually wearing them- not very versatile if you know what I mean.

I’m excited about the shape of these pumps though. I imagined that once they’ve been toned down for regular people like us, they’d be quite comfy and gorgeous!

Oh and I LOVE the clutches. The cute little details makes all the difference. I especially love the one on the lower left corner. It is pretty and playful!

I came home from work today feeling like I’d just walked down a freezing wind tunnel. I hate to say it ladies, but fall is officially here.

Time to bring out the cute chunky knits and leather jackets you have hidden in your wardrobe and stomp out in boots!

I tried on this Stretch Flannel Olive top the other day at J Crew, just because the mannequin looked incredibly chic wearing it with a dress shirt underneath. I thought, what an unique take on the office basics of blazers/vests etc!

Unfortunately, I’d forgotten that I was a mere mortal and not a model. I looked like a drab! The dark color and unfitted tailoring made it incredibly unflattering and aging. Combined with a full suit, I imagine it would look incredibly matronly instead of chic. Oh well, I liked the concept behind it though.

I finally pushed the check out button today for these boots. Today is a sufficiently depressing day for me to use some cheering up!

The Hunter wellingtons come in violet!!

How pretty is that? This color immediately appealed to my young, girly side who adores purple! It would look so pop and pretty with my black trench coat on a pouring day (I’ll actually look forward to one!). But then I don’t think it would look really professional with a suit. Now that I’ve convinced myself that I should get a pair of Hunters (after my cheap pair of Target polka dot rainboots started to leak after maybe 5 wears, I’m ready to put down the money!!!!), I imagine that I’d be wearing them forever and it’ll take me from fun to work. Naturally I don’t plan to be wearing them at work with a suit, just on the way to work on a rainy day. But still, I don’t want to look like an idiot. Also, even though I have no doubt I’d still love this color in 5 years time, I’m not sure it would match with all my outfiits- it is a very vibrant purple!

Perhaps I should stick to my original plan and get the more somber Aubergine color? It is one of the “original” colors for a reason, and this one used to be “bright” comparatively before the violet came along! Thoughts?

And yes, I’m blogging abnormally early on a Saturday morning. I’ve been having nightmares all night about my upcoming gardasil shot (which is not until next next week!) etc and actually had to get up to rearrange the fengshui of my pillows in the hopes of better sleep.

I finally got a much needed eye brow plucking session the other day at Bobbi Brown- a very popular and frequently fully booked service here at the BB counters in HK. For me, this is one of my must do’s in HK whenever I visit- I made my mom make a booking for me way in advance! I also got a fresh bottle of their gel eye liner. Mine was getting a bit dried and hard to apply, so I was due for a new jar. I’ve been a big fan of for the past 4 years and when applied from under the eye lashes, it creates the most beautiful line that subtly highlights your eyes and fills in the gaps between lashes making them look fulller.

While there, the lady introduced me to the ultra fine eye liner brush. She says that the finer tips will get into the gaps between the lashes much easier, and I can skip the whole going from underneath thing altogether using the regular  eye liner brush. Always a sucker for artists who gives me beautifully clean and sharp eye brows, I gave it a try. This brush does make a remarkable difference! It’s SO much easier to apply I wonder why they even bother sell the regular eye liner brush at all!
