Bossini x Disney Art Jamming

Hey guys! Don't know about you, but I'm a huge fan of Disney and everything they do. I absolutely adore their classic fairy tales with beautiful princesses, could recite every other line from their hilarious animated flicks, and would fangirl over all their cute accessories whether it's from Disneyland or Japan. Seriously! So when I learnt about Bossini and their Disney Collection, I had to get in on the action... with some hands-on painting!

POBAI: Joyce FW13 preview

Hey guys! I'm so sorry that there's quite a gap between my last post and this one. I've just finished moving out of my school dorms and into my new apartment and the internet took quite a few days to fix. Anyhooo here's the (sort of late) JOYCE FW13 preview, c/o Sassy Hong Kong for letting me in on the fab event!

It is quite a picture heavy post so I will let the pictures do most of the talking. The fall winter trends this year is embellishments without a doubt. We're also seeing a huge amount of furs and leather which is always good for the cold. 

Scroll down for more goodness from the numerous designers that Joyce carries and see what inspiration you can get (also what to save up for). 

POBAI: Jessica FW13 preview

Hello gorgeous people! 

Time for another Perks of an Intern post. This time is my adventure at Jessica's FW13 preview! This fall we are seeing a lot of vintage influences, mixed with grunge, punk and tons of embellishments. Scroll down for some inspiration for the coming fall.

Seeing a lot of white and full a-line dresses/skirts, which I LOVE. Like I said before, bringing white from summer to fall is just perfect for the wallet. Plus a-line skirts are just flattering!

Punk grunge with added lux is in! This fall we're continuing with the creepers and leather and black, but we're adding in a touch of silver/gold and cleaning up the shapes and cuts.

DIY inspiration alert! Some clear plastic and gemstones, oh and some hot clue too (of course gems with metal backs that let's you clip onto the cloth/plastic will be good too... y'know what I'm sayin'?)

Not to forget the evergreen vintage trend that's bringing back the paisley and floral with colours that remind you of the nostalgic past. I can hear thrift shops calling my name... (also the song. What what what what, what what...)

Next post will be on Joyce's FW13 preview! (tons of OTT accessories!)

be good,

POBAI #1: FW13 Previews Lovin' (PINKO & Monki)

Hey guys! Here's something new: POBAI.

It stands for Perks Of Being An Intern (with Sassy Hong Kong).

Because of Sassy, I get to go to amazing events, previews and launches and therefore have the chance of sharing what I see with you guys! These two weeks have been stuffed with previews for the upcoming Fall/Winter season and so here are my favourites!

Without further ado... I present to you:

PINKO FW2013

Not many have heard of PINKO, and the only memory I have of this brand is this shady (and probably not real) design that started popping up everywhere a few years back. (source: google images) 

Nevertheless, this Italian brand has brought a lot on the table this season with edgy accessories and shoes (creepers!!!). Not to mention some amazing evening gowns that's perfect for the red carpet. I myself am a huge fan of their bags, and a little googling later I am convinced that there shouldn't be a reason why it isn't popular in Hong Kong...

Next up:

Monki AW13

Again I am drawn to their accessories! The "Hands Off" clutch and black flatforms in the first picture are definitely my go-to. Honestly this season I'm very happy with what's trending in the shoe section because all the platforms, thick heels and kitten point heels have made my feet a lot more comfy than stilettos ever could, and platform shoes are just a great add-on to any outfit. (My Topshop platform boots have been worn more often than my Dr. Martens!)

Embellishment is huge thing next season so I think I should get some beads and my sewing kit ready. (also a good chance to learn how to sew...) As you can see in their cute chiffon shirt that otherwise would've just been downright boring.

P.S. That's the russian doll I painted at their preview. This is such a fun activity! I love it when I can get a lil-bit of hands-on at the previews.

Part 2 coming up will feature Joyce and Jessica!

Keep calm & be good.

Michael Kors new store in Shatin

Thanks to the perks of being a Sassy intern, I've had the pleasure to visit the spanking new Michael Kors store over at Shatin New Town Plaza few weeks back and here are some photos of my visit!

Apart from the classic styles, this store is the first in the 852 to carry Michael by Michael Kors, the more casual and ready-to-wear line. I am just in love with their neon floral prints, and of course their huge collection of small accessories & shoes.

My favourite are their bangles and bracelets. (In which I bought for a steal! Yay for media discounts hehe) I have my eyes on their dashing pink bags and color-crashing wallets too, but they were a tad too expensive for me right now.

Definitely give them a visit, because the store is just so pretty! New Territories have finally another reason for a visit, even though it's practically far away from anything civilised lol.

Much love,

xx
