HAPPY HU NIAN!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!! Yay! Its Chinese New Year again and wishing everyone a wonderful happy and energetic Year of The Tiger!

I really hope that we see more world peace and harmony this year. And of course people learning to love our earth more and love animals and support conservation more!

This year i didnt really have any thing new to wear so, it was a last minute thing to get all my new clothes. and hey! i actually got a Tiger Stripe jacket fromVeeko! haha....wahts more...at 50% discount. hehe.

The thing about clothes, does it mean the more expensive it is, the nicer it looks?
i hate to admit it but i think there is some truth in it.
as much as we do not want to be sucked into spending tons on clothes and be rational to get OK enough mass labels but hey....u will end up looking like one too.

but i guess its a personal choice.

i always, once in while, settle for cheaper stuff and say hey, just clothes rite...but honestly i will only wear them once. they just dun fit rite. maybe its all in my mind?

but maybe not.

i have been following what Hilary Tsui is wearing for a while. She has a certain cool taste and this goes back all the way to 2003 when i first saw her in a HK mag. i didnt know she was ''someone''....but she was just different from all the other gals in the mag. What she wore was a long skirt and some top...a little hippie look an edgy haircut. It was something i would definitely wear!

ever since then, i see her once in a while in the media and her taste seems to get better and better. maybe she is also more confident. Now Hilary has gathered a following and also her own fashion blog and shop. The things she is wearing now are really nice and cool, mainly dark colours but hey, are bright crazy prints ever cool? nope. The looks are inspiring but the price is not. So i wonder nice things do always come with a price! The things she wears are simple but nothing is really cheap.....u can say she is lucky because she has access to High fashion. and she can mix and match them easily. Some of her fans have requested her to wear lower end clothes but i think its hard to do that. the labels she source and is aware of are mainly at least $300 per piece and up.

I envy her a lot in that sense that she can do what she likes and also have direct links to the best of make up, hair and trends. and of course a cool singer husband. haha. well, at least there is someone to look at for ideas. haha.

so in conslusion, stop buying useless stuff at a bargain which you will not wear or feel good but a few good pieces that is made of good material that can last and last and make you look and feel good!
