MIAMI HEAT

With the recent release of the movie Spring Breakers, I thought that it some vividly provocative dressing was called for. Whilst I admit that my outfit is not nearly as skimpy as that of Vanessa Hudgens/Ashley Benson in the movie, the neon palette does evoke some sense of Miami Beach vacations. I'm super grateful to Electric Sekki for lending me these pieces, especially the gorgeous Superga sneakers. As a heels-lover, I stepped into these comfy yet glam shoes with a sigh of relief. Comfort and style is something that my life could do with. On the topic of Superga, they JUST opened their flagship store in Hong Kong recently. In fact, tonight they are launching their construction of the world's biggest shoe in HarbourCity, Tsim Sha Tsui. I'm headed their myself as we speak to check it out. Look out for photos in this space!

Check out Superga shoes at Shop 2607, Level 2, Gateway Arcade, Harbour City, Kowloon. Open daily from 10am to 10pm

SPRING BY A BOY NAMED SUE

goodies from a boy named sue

Whew! It's been hot and muggish to say the least for the past few days, so I was very thankful to A Boy Named Sue for the abundance of chilled sangria during their spring launch last night. We were treated to a preview of this season's pieces whilst enjoying cool drinks and delish treats (see chocolate donuts above) at Common Ground in Sheung Wan. A Boy Named Sue is an online store based in Hong Kong dedicated to sourcing sustainable and cultural fashion by dux from across the globe. One of my favorite pieces, the THU THU biker jacket with colorful cross-stitch embroidery, is constructed from ethnic blankets made by women in Sapa, Vietnam. Another, the Hien Lee white perforated skirt, is actually made out of Alcantara vegan suede, a eco friendly alternative to leather.  The quality, modernity and level of detail of these pieces is pretty amazing. Just look at the embroidery on the Filip + Inna piece (2nd from last photo), completely hand-sewn with beading too. Another standout line was Partimi, featuring silk tees and dresses with digital prints of patterns and nature. I've been really impressed by the progression of eco fashion in the past years. It's definitely come a long way from the homespun worn by hippies in the 60's. I guess it's time to go eco chic!

If you're an eco person, check out A Boy Named Sue's spring collection on their website here.
