So Not in the Mood

Wot? Not in the mood?
Perhaps...I've forgotten that today is FRIDAY???!!!
As in...Thank God It's FRIDAY?
As in...tonight you can play all you want and go crazy?
As in...tomorrow no work?
As in...hello weekend?

I dunno.

Maybe it's the bright blue sky...
Maybe it's the air...
Maybe it's in my antihistamines.

Love winter, hate allergies.

I am wearing a boring crap today, so I am posting an outfit I wore recently, which somehow went unposted.

Go ahead and enjoy your weekend, then tell me all about it.

Jimmy Choo for H&M Madness in Hong Kong

Last Saturday, H&M started selling Jimmy Choo for H&M in Hong Kong.
I expected a major madness, pull-her-hair-elbow-her-outta-the-way madness.

The above picture was taken at 10:54 AM, in front of H&M Central.
It didn't look so mad, right?
Hong Kongers aren't early risers after all.

Once the queueing crowd was let in, the police (yeah! the police!) removed the metal barriers.

I took a shot inside...it's a mad mad MAD world inside.
I was promptly told not to take photographs. Naturally. :p

The remnants from the early morning queue.

Soon, more fashionistas flocked in front of the window, gauging their chances inside...boyfriends cursing H&M/designers/fashion in general, and random uncles wondering what was all the fuss about.

Hop over to H&M's site to view the collection.

Did I get any? All I got were these shots. :p

Sloppy Comfy Photohunting Weekend

Cool weather, muted soft sunlight means....a busy weekend!


We went to Hong Kong Botanical and Zoological Garden in Central to photograph some animals. A mini version of a zoo...there are...lots of birds and plants, an alligator, a giant snake, a bunch of monkeys and raccoon. Should we still call it a zoo? I wish we had a proper zoo in Hong Kong. I love zoos (I love seeing cute animals without having to take care of them heheh...).

The animals were caged. It made photographing them super challenging!!! Photographing is one thing, but living the experience is another thing. Despite the cage, I found myself enjoying my stroll in the park, checking out the amusing antics of the monkeys, admiring rare animals and flowers...and being equally amused by other patrons of the park.

Here are some shots from the trip, click on the pics to view the whole set.
Reminds me of snowflakes and Christmas...and I love love LOVE the muted colors.


The golden lil monkeys from Brazil. Looking out thinking....freedom?

Too Matchy Matchy

Recently, i love putting lots of patterns and colors together...this outfit felt wayyy too matchy matchy for me. Black denim + black denim? eeecckk!

But I love the thrifted shirt, it has a very subtle embossed checkered pattern with some shiny dots, and it has two adorable little pockets on the chest. will wear it differently to show them off next time.

Wore this ensemble to work. Yay to casual Fridays ^_^
