laura: Hong Kong purchases!

Yes... as Amanda said... I am in Hong Kong right now, enjoying the humidity and sweat-inducing weather! haha. I just wanted to quickly show you the things that I've bought so far... everything I bought was SO CHEAP in comparison to similar items in Canada. It's ridiculous! Most of the items were bought at a place called Argyle Centre. (If you want to know more about shopping in Hong Kong, I wrote in more detail on my  personal blog here). Anyway, here are some pictures......

*side notes:

Some of my favourite items include the strappy black sandals that were $14 Canadian, and the crochet top on the left which was $5! I also decided to buy some "trendy" pieces like the two maxi dresses on the right. I wouldn't have bought those in Canada because they'd probably be too expensive and only last 1 or 2 seasons. I usually try to buy clothing items that I know I will wear repeatedly until someone tells me it's too old and forces me to throw it out. But since the prices in Hong Kong were so cheap, I decided to try some different styles and looks. Anyway, that's all for now! Let me know which items are your favourites =D

lauramanda: a photoshoot before we part again..

Our great apologies for the absence of posts in the past few weeks. Over the past few weeks, Amanda returned to Vancouver while Laura flew to Hong Kong. Yes, we have traded places. :P 

The last time Laura went to Hong Kong was 10 years ago! Within the past 10 years, Amanda has been back to Hong Kong 6-7 times. So Amanda is super excited for Laura to experience all that this vibrant city has to offer!

This is the photoshoot we did before we parted again.

High-waisted shorts with a loosely-fitted top make a great outfit for a night out with some girlfriends.

A nice pop of nail colour makes all the difference to a classy black and white outfit!

Does Amanda's top look familiar? It was unconsciously (because she didn't realize it at the time of purchase) inspired by two of Laura's cardigans mentioned here and there.

Though we are on opposite parts of the world again. We shall be reunited in no time.. Are you curious about what Laura will bring back from Hong Kong??

amanda: chiffon shirt dress

 This chiffon shirt dress is from my cousin's shop, Stone Plus. I love the colour and the cut. It's hard to see the details in these pictures but it has intricate pleating detail at the shoulders and at the waist in the back. It also features subtle sequins in the front that I thought would be tacky but turned out to be a nice touch to the outfit.

 

Of course I can't leave wearing this sheer shirt dress without another crochet slip underneath. :P

My flats happen to match this shirt dress. But I would love to try wearing this with a pair of pumps with a pop of colour~ What do you think?
