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

In the past couple of seasons, James Franco has been representing the brand 7 For All Mankind in their media campaigns. This season, he has collaborated with them yet again to produce a short film 'A Beautiful Odyssey' as part of the Spring/Summer 2013 multimedia campaign. Inspired by the poetry of William Blake, the film embodies love and connectivity in the setting of a Californian wedding. 7 For All Mankind approached me to introduce you all to their media campaign and also to interpret their Spring/Summer '13 pieces in a way befitting 'A Beautiful Odyssey'.

As soon as I set eyes upon those 7 For All Mankind floral print jeans, I could already feel the Californian sun on my face and the sand between my toes. That shade of aqua is particularly akin to the blue of swimming pools and ocean waves. With the onset of Coachella and the dominating presence of summery festival photos on Instagram, Californian inspiration has been overwhelming the past couple of days. I didn't have much trouble picking out what to wear with the floral piece. As the denim was already a statement piece in itself, I chose to pair it with neutral heels and a simple textured peplum top, balancing it up top with a brightly colored ribbon necklace. I think that the gold, blue and white palette really embodies the perfect California wedding in the sun and the sea.

'A Beautiful Odyssey' is multimedia campaign designed to be interactive for all of you. It has been released in several segments so that fans can vote towards the way they want the storyline to go. I hope that you all will watch the film and vote a happy ending, whatever you feel it may be!

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.
