i have a thing for... THESE NEWLY ARRIVED MADEWELL SHOES

seeing all these fashion brands opening one by one in HK... i am praying that the next one i would hear is madewell. though prices are not so friendly, i can't help browsing their shoes at a regular basis. look at these charming espadrilles loafers and ankle boots, sharing my erge with you. OOOOoooooooOOOOO.....

i have a thing for... TARGET X JASON WU (STRIPES!!!)

the reason why i have a thing for this cute and preppy collection is mainly because of the stripes and cats in it. stripes are one of the best thing in the world, it is basically a fail-proof-life-saver in our daily life.

stripes are usually related to nautical topics, in colours of navy blues, white and red combo. breton stripes are the easist and most popular stripes among all to be worn.

The flag of Brittany

what are breton stripes:
The Breton stripe shirt originated in Brittany—a French province that occupies the peninsula between the English Channel and Bay of Biscay—which may explain its nautical affiliation. The long-sleeved cotton garment usually has a boat neck and, traditionally, the stripes begin around the breastbone.

i have a thing for... FOREVER 21 OPENING IN HK

finally, among the chaotic crowded area of causeway bay, another fast fashion brand is blooming - on this coming Wednesday the 18th of Jan, 2012. yes, we are talking about Forever 21.

it will be a 6 floored huge store. since this brand is always one of the brands i look at everyday in terms of designing, their products won't be new to me. therefore i am not extremely excited about it.

nobody can be 21 forever, can they? moreover i can't imagine how crazy the lining up will be........

i have a thing for... these LBDs on sale

after my long vacation... it's time to say bye-bye to paradise and hello to the reality.

wondering what is the theme for this year's company dinner. wondering if any of my outfits in the wardrobe fits the theme. wondering if i need to start searching for some new clothes for CNY. wondering if my credit card has reached its limits after my trip. hmm... life is full of wonders...

sales is everywhere, temptation and evil thoughts as well. in hk zara is always the messiest place on this planet during the sales period, other than lane crawford when shoes, scarfs and jewellery that cost over thousand bucks flying everywhere like they don't cost a penny. well probably some people see this as some sort of challenge and have the time to search for treasures... lucky them. poor me i can only ask my friend over whatsapp to check out items i see online and praying they still exist in the stores!!

how about treating myself with these little black dresses on sale?
