Maison Martin Margiela for H&M Review



A late review of my Maison Martin Margiela for H&M purchase.
Having lined up a few hour and in the end got nothing I wanted at the Lanvin X H&M launch last year, I was reluctant to do anything like that ever since, I even find the H&M crossover projects very annoying for the fact that a lot of people out there just want to resell everything they get and make profits.
This time at MMM for H&M, again, I tried not to think about the launch and the cute fun candy clutch they make. I went to work as usual in the morning and knocked off at 7, someone called…
“Hey I’m at H&M, they still have a loooottttt of stocks!!”
“OMGGGG!!!Can you help me get the black leather flats??I’m a size 7!!!”
“……OK I think I've got you the last pair….
“Okayyyy I’m on my way, please hold on to them, do not let anybody touch them!!!”
so I guess that was my lucky day.

Ted’s Lookout on Moon Street


Teds Lookout on Moon Street, Wan Chai.
It’s great to finally see a restaurant with awesome architecture/design in Hong Kong. This place is going to be BIG, making the Star Street neighborhood even more fun. I CAN’T WAIT.

People often say there are nothing in Hong Kong except malls that are built by giant developers. I say, they didn’t look far enough and they made the statement way too early. Try spending a day or two in Sheung Wan Hollywood Road/Tai Ping Shan Street, or Wan Chai Star Street neighborhood. Those areas would give you a brand-new impression of Hong Kong.

Rag & Bone folsom platform sandals

We all know beautiful designer shoes aren't made for walking; they are lovely but usually not comfy. I can't go out in my Louboutins without having a pair of flats and adhesive bandages in my purse. Ferragamo and Tod's (ballerina) are great, but somehow their designs are a bit too classic that are limited to workplace only. I've been looking for great causal and walkable designer shoes for years, and finally this summer I found the perfect pair of them: 
Rag & Bone folsom platform sandals, cork wedges, 3.5"heel, 1.5"platform
 Adore the orange straps and thin light blue trims, they give a refreshing touch to the design.
Match my beige peekaboo.
I wear them almost everyday now, and they are by far the most comfortable wedges I've ever owned.

A day in Sheung Wan

Sheung Wan; a historical area
where East meets West is best demonstrated;
where diversity in cultures is being greatly appreciated;
where cafes, art galleries and temples can all be found in one street.

A cup of good coffee is always heart-warming. 
       
I love walking around the old districts to look for the fading memories of the city.
We should show our love and support to our local stores and businesses, 
not just to protect them from vanishing and taking over by the large chain stores,
but also simply because they are good and unique.
I am wearing :

Rolled up navy pants, giant black ring from H&M
Bracelets from Forever21
