Lady Melbourne

Tweet   On my quest to really uncover local Hong Kong based designers, I discovered S.Nine by Susanna Soo located on Hollywood Rd in Central. Soo founded the label in 2009 after a long stint living in New York and working with the likes of Diane Von Furstenberg and LaRok. Her signature style would have [...]

Then it was off to visit local Hong Kong designer Michelle Lai of the label Mishca. I really wanted to try and uncover local Hong Kong talent on this trip knowing that I was going to see my fair share of luxury because lets face it, it’s what Hong Kong does so well.

I haven’t finished my blog posts for Hong Kong yet, but I just wanted to share very quickly with you the latest addition to my winter wardrobe in this custom made Kuwaii winter coat.

Tweet What is Shopper of the Year? It takes a skilled shopper to put together a street-style-worthy look. And to create fabulous on-trend outifts, you definitely need a flair for hunting out the best store finds.

When I walked into The Horizon Club on the 56th floor of the Island Shangri-La where we stayed, I have to admit, I’d never been anywhere like it before. As you can see, it is luxury done to a tee complete with linen napkins, silver wear, velvet upholstered chairs, wood panelled walls and chandeliers.

Staying at the Island Shangri-La meant that we were able to capture some of the best luxury locations on offer in Hong Kong. On the rooftop there is an indoor garden full of orchids and tropical greenery with long, sweeping windows that enable a view of the harbour right around to the mountain side of the hotel.

A couple of weeks back I did a blog post about how The Gardener and I are off to Hong Kong to shoot for a couple of days. Well, we’re here, it seemed to take a lot longer than I remembered it would (Sydney first, then onto Hong Kong) but by god it’s good to be back!

I love a good bargain, whether its shopping at outlets, hunting in second hand stores or hitting the sales. Last week I discovered the latest offering in Melbourne’s outlet shopping in the form of Brand Smart.

I don’t mind wearing silver and gold together. I started to think about it because last week I was doing exactly that and someone said to me, ‘Can you….do that?!’

I didn’t know that you couldn’t to be honest, unless you are still dressed by your mum every morning then really, you can wear what ever you like when you get dressed every day as far as I’m concerned!
