Constellation


Hong Kong has been TOO FREAKING HOT for any sort of coherent outfit, but I wore this for an evening of cocktails with a good friend. Ironically, I wore a white blazer over this in the actual cocktail bar because of the freezing air conditioning that is the hallmark of all indoor activity in Hong Kong. It's going to be a shock when I get back to the UK and everything reverses (hot, stuffy central heating and freezing outdoor weather)!

(Which answers Bel's question - No, I'm not in HK for good.. just here for a long holiday before my masters degree begins. I'm staying in London for that.. can't drag me away from my beloved birth city!)

-------------------------

The H&M studded skirt my mum picked out for me:




Worn with Enzo Angiolini shoes:


And my well-worn, buttery soft Russell&Bromley leather bag:



---------------------------

Lastly, I'm deciding on an investment piece to kickstart my autumn/winter wardrobe.

1. Gap sheepskin ankle boots
2. Mulberry satchel
3. Those damned Acne wedges that won't leave me alone
4. H&M divided studded leather jacket
5. A quality pair of brown leather brogues
6. An oversized leather clutch (that one is Stella McCartney)
7. A proper watch (Marc by Marc Jacobs)
8. Some of that sexy Dominic Jones jewellery.

Was denken Sie?

  4. acne shoes & leather brogues FTW definitely! omg some sick part of me desperately wishes i were back in london just so i could access topshop every week without problems (minus the crazy london traffic but all you do is sit on a bus so it's okay!).

    as for me i am simply spending a year abroad still studying the same thing (bioengineering) as i did back in imperial. i thought the california air would do me good ;) and the ability to shop on american sites freely..hahaha.

    omg and don't worry about the kane obsession...i think there are quite a few people out there who succumbed lol! i can't afford any of those pieces right now booo.

  10. That studded skirt is a great find! And I love the collage... I need to find me those Gap sheepskin boots. I always hated that about HK... the freezing AC. Ok, I know it's beyond warm outside, but a mild blast of AC would suffice. It does get slightly annoying to drag around a cardigan or jacket all day, just so I don't freeze up in the bus or restaurant. But you're right, in Europe it's exactly the opposite (I actually wear short-sleeved items in the office during the winter months).

    Can't wait to see your Kane for Topshop purchases by the way. I was seriously tempted by the crocodile dress, but I'm worried I might get bored with it. I might still want that studded dress though...
