Louboutin....J'adore

Insomnia has hit me so I decided to post about a little bit of Loubi love!!!  I went to a Louboutin store opening a while back with the fabulous Sharon McM who had kindly invited me along.  Not only did we see the great man himself and nibbled on some Louboutin inspired cookies but we also got to "play" with the shoes.  Here's a pic of my favourite pair at the time...they truly gave me a "Cinderella" moment.

When two of my HK fashion heroes join up....

I have already talked about the amazing Sharon McM and Joey Ma but cannot resist posting a photo of them both holding their own with Nicola Formichetti on one of his visits to HK...

For all those who likes to know what the lady is wearing...

Zara razor back vest 

Belt - vintage

Blue skirt- vintage

YSL clutch 

Sam Edelman 'Lorissa' studded spike heels

Chanel vintage gold chain watch 

Hermes 'clic- clac' black bangle 

Hermes enamel cuff 

N.B. Oh to be able to raid both of their wardrobes!!!!

It is all about the styling...

Marks and Spencer is traditionally known to be where mums go to shop or if you want some good work wardrobe basics.  Recently, it has ventured into trying to be more fashion forward (with mixed results) launching their Limited Collection and Autograph Collection.  However, with the right styling, M&S clothing can be both stylish and fashionable.  I was lucky enough to shadow the incredible fashion maven Sharon McM and the talented make up artist Marian Woo on a photoshoot.  I contributed from my Marks and Spencer collection, one of my personal favourite pieces: a navy blue silk kimono style jacket with white embroidery.  This was also styled with another contribution from my M&S collection: a striped black and white skirt suit.  I love the way Sharon McM has made modern pieces look timeless and like something from a Hitchcock movie.  The lovely model Marta totally nailed the femme fatale look!

The first step is always the hardest...

The lovely Nicole Warne....one of my style muses....

Check out her blog at: http://fellt.com/garypepper

This is about the 100th time that I have tried to start a blog.  As they say, the path to hell is laden with good intentions.  Anyway, here I go.  Originally I wanted to do a fashion blog about my love for Marks and Spencer (the love is still there) but there are so many other fashion bloggers who are so much more knowledgeable and so much more incredibly stylish than me.  A case in point is one of my fashion inspirations, the ever lovely Sharon McM who has her own incredibly witty blog (http://sharonsgotthebeat.blogspot.hk/).  


One of my other style heroes at the moment is the lovely Nicole Warne from Gary Pepper Vintage.  For someone so young, she has developed an incredible style and has progressed so far with her fashion blogging career (I am incredibly jealous of her trip to Shanghai courtesy of Louis Vuitton!)  The main reason for my love of Nicole is that she is effortlessly stylish and is able to achieve that delicate balance of mixing high-end luxe labels with high street and vintage.  This style is something that I would like to aspire to.  I have been increasingly looking to online stores such as etsy to source vintage finds and have found it both engrossing and rewarding too.


Ok, I think that is enough for my first foray into blogging....hopefully more to come soon!
