Neon Lover at Hermitage

scarf Zara, top H&M, sandals Staccato
OMG, neon is so cool! After my neon Nike trainers, take a look at my neon top. A few scarves are sitting right in my closet now waiting for me to pick them up to complete my outfits! Zara has a number of great choices ranging from leopard prints to floral patterns.

This is a new magical place for me. It's next to Hermitage and I love the smell of brew coffee in the cosy ambience of cafés. It's wonderful to just flip out an iPad or a magazine and order a cup of cappuccino.

What to wear in summer?

1. There's something about Olivia Palermo she seems to be able to pull off anything. Her scarf here is phenomenal. (here and here)
2. One of the main reasons to watch 'Revenge' on ABC is to check out the 'social climber' Ashley Davenport's outfit (played by Ashley Madekwe and it's cool the actress has a fashion blog) (here)
3. Hairband with horses as the backdrop make a perfect editorial-like picture. Btw, Karina's beauty is breath-taking. (here)
4. Hong Kong socialites look sophisticated and casual (here)
5. I love the colour combinations on Chiara (here)
6. Jessica is the hottest girl in the blogosphere and so she can rock basically everything (here)

Chillaxing

I was so amused. First, I got recommended to a Chinese fortune teller, and what he told about me was 80% accurate, even the body part of the surgery I had when I was young and my character and relationships and all the rest. Don't mistake me, I'm a Christian, and the fortune telling thing somehow related to Buddhism (? or whatever it was) was definitely just for fun. Well, he did his job well, that he was more like a chatty person full of sharp analogies and gave my friends and I a super fun afternoon.

Second, we had a girl-shopping-dayout and we headed for places just for girls, and window-shop-hopping had never been so fun. Half looking around half chillaxing, half a day was gone.

Did you have a I-don't-know-what-I-did weekend like I had?

Review: Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Mineral Makeup SPF 15

My go-to mineral makeup powder! I normally use 2 way cakes for touchups, but they look too unnatural and cakey on my dry sensitive skin. The Bobbi Brown Mineral Powder is very fine, soft, blendable and does not dry out my skin like Bare Minerals do (and Bare Minerals foundation makes me itch) and I much prefer the Bobbi Brown one. I'm a NC 25 and am using light to medium tone - I use a MAC 187 to apply it to give a sheer coverage. I wouldn't say the colour matches me perfectly, but as it's quite translucent it doesn't matter that much. I love the texture so so much, just feels like Soufflé. Not cakey, does not suck in my fine lines and is longlasting, not to mention the SPF 15 is great for touchups to protect my delicate skin.

Moonwalk... Moonrun!

I could not help wearing these trainers once I got them, and I go to the gym with so much anticipation now. I run 3-4 km after work when I have time, and I find training myself contributes a lot to my overall health, especially to boost my immune system. I used to hate sports a lot - I fell down during sports day when I was in school and I got a basketball champion medal when I was the backup and didn't even get to touch the ball (but I was always the secretary or treasurer of sports teams haha) Then I was bored of my pale delicate image and I became more active. I love how running tones me up and let me learn determination. To be frank I run very slowly, but does it matter? I just have to compete with myself and build up my strength gradually. The feeling of freedom keeps lives going!

Review: MAC 138 Tapered Face Brush

MAC 138 is a tapered brush suitable for applying loose powder and brushes, and for contouring. The bristles are ultra soft, like, SUPER soft, and my sensitive skin has never felt so good before. I use the side of it to dap on loose powder, and the result is even and compact. Of course, I make use of the tapered shape to put on bronzers and blushhes, and the tip just makes everything precise. The brush is semi-dense I would say, not too fluffy but not too dense, so the right amount of powder is packed up and can give a sheer satin finish. I know it looks huge, but according to the MAC makeup artist, its big size and unique shape mean versatility - can be applied on big or small areas catering different needs.

New in: polka dots blocks

I fell in love with the polka dots blocks and my friend reconfirmed its uniqnessness, we headed home with a huge paper bag full of heels. We even matched our heels with lovely pastel nail polishes. Here is one that I got and I've got more to show!

It is good to be good

I think this is my girl-next-door look. They say it's good to be bad, but sometimes it's alright to look conservative. I am back from my experimental tan skin and I love these flats. So comfy with a go-to-colour. I am on a 'shopping diet' so I have less to showcase, but I will do some makeup product reviews in future.

Beach Spa

Hello from the beach! I was deciding whether to go to the beach or the gym, so I put on my swimsuit and trainers at the same time. Blame the on-off rain. No doubt I would choose to sunbathe once I saw the sun came out again.

MAC did a Feline Collection a few seasons back, and I was really impressed. Apart from drawing a winged out eyeline, what else can we do to achieve a feline look? Eyshadows are probably the answers!

Let's talk about the fabrics

Maybe velvet items are not on the top of your list in summer, but I love to wear this two-faced velvet top which says grand and casual at the same time. This velvety fabric appears to be really delicate, that I thought it was going to be difficult to wash - but it turned out to be alright for machine wash, still looking lustrous in good condition afterwards. The tweed front part demonstrates a contrast to the understated back. It really serves me well when it's a bit breezy out there.

p.s just got my woven Givenchy sandals a pair of new tips on the heels! perfect.
