Stars

I never thought I would buy this blazer from Zara because it was a bit pricey, and it wasn't a priority.  Good thing that the Zara sale in Hong Kong offered some items at much lower prices!  My sister and I were so lucky to get 1 of the last 2 pieces hanging on the rack. 

I was wrong not to prioritize this blazere because it's just perfect.  The design and fabric makes it easy to pair with anything.  It is also comfortable enough to wear everyday. =)

Slightly Bare

Another hot and sunny day in Hong Kong where the less clothes you wear, the better.  This made me decide to wear a loose and sheer top to feel confortable the whole day.  I was also thankful that I chose to wear Chucks that day because we had to walk A LOT!  We were literally walking the whole day and night to go to distant places and to meet friends in different areas.  My feet were numb when we reached the hotel.

Black and Gold

During days when uncertainty dawns, it is always safe to go with black.  In this case, a black jumpsuit; no need to think of a separate top and botoom...seems a bit too lazy to even think.  But I think occasional laziness is forgivable =)

July's Lacquer Love: China Glaze "For Audrey"

Every girl would love to own a Tiffany & Co. piece.  The jewelry, packaging, and everything about it just exudes elegance and reflects what we aspire for.  Even the color itself is uniquely associated with the brand's classy reputation.

Luckily, a nail polish brand has finally come up with a perfect Tiffany Blue color.  Inspired by Audrey Hepburn, China Glaze named this color For Audrey.  The name is absolutely perfect don't you think?  =)  Upon admiring this color on my nails, I can't help but think of words like Tiffany &Co., Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, classic and elegant, and so on...

China Glaze For Audrey

Not only is it pretty from the bottle, but more so when applied on the nails.  Although I more frequently go for pink and peach tones for lacquers, this color has definitely caught my admiration.  In my opinion, China Glaze's For Audrey is a must have!  I'll certainly keep one with me for life, because I'm sure that I'll be going back to this color for countless times in the future.

I've tried using several brands of nail polish, and one thing I observed with China Glaze is that the color doesn't easily chip off.  I use my hands a lot in typing, handling paper, writing, even doing manual hand work.  In short I use my hands quite often; and normal lacquers tend to last with me for 1-2 days without chipping off.  China Glaze is 1 of the 2 brands that broke this record.  It can go for a week or maybe more which I love! =)

Hong Kong: White

To Keep up with the burning heat of Hong Kong summer, I thought of bringing along flowy and light clothes.  It was the right decision as you can see how hot it was from the pictures.

We went to Hong Kong primarily for the Gifts and Fashion Fair.  A second purpose was, of course, to shop a LITTLE.  It's SALE season, so I think it's justifiable, right? =)
