Hope you all had a fab weekend! Maury and I had different things on our agenda. I went shopping at Target in Jersey City (yes, in fur! lol) and Maury had an enchanting evening with friends at a cool lil' Middle Eastern spot in the Lower East Side named Horus.

Gisela wears Dolce & Gabbana leopard print maxi  cardigan, Sandy Pino cropped fox fur, F21 ripped jeans, Alexander Wang tee, Nine West booties and Goyard shopper.

And now to announce the winner of our very first "Whose Your Girl Crush?" contest!!
It was a tough decision for us since we had some amazing submissions but we were pleasantly surprised by the submission entered by Kinder from Closet Disorder!! He introduced us to not 1 but 2 lovely Hong Kong Fashionistas. We were so happy to learn of someone new and refreshing! Here's Kinder's entry:

"I chose 2 Hong Kong fashion icons who inspire me: 1) Faye Wong and  2) Maggie Cheung

 

Faye Wong is the diva in Hong Kong and Asia. On the street, she
wears a $10 t-shirt with a mini Birkin in hand. On the stage, she wears
costumes from the world's top brands. She has the ability to be pretty
in all kinds of styles and clothes.

 

Maggie Cheung, a famous actress and an attender on the front row
of Paris fashion show. She's linked with fashion. Few years ago, Maggie
was invited to be the creative director of www.izzue.com.hk.
And she's the leading model for Lane Crawford advertisement. Like Faye
Wong, Maggie can always be gorgeous, no matter what she's wearing.

 

I think what I can learn from them is, with self-confidence, no matter what you are wearing, you can be fabulous!"

  2. OMG. HK movie stars. You guys are too much. I watched them both while growing up; haven't seen what they're up to lately, but they really look the same. I'd say most HK type stars are very cookie-cutter but kudos to your friend that introduced you to Maggie and Faye.
    Hope to see you around soooon!

  9. Woooow so Maybe at a first glance this so striking mix Purple/leopard prints can appear a little bit too "Baroque" . . . BUT it Obviously Works, on such a Wild/Arrogant way (YES, with capital letters) !!!!
    ps: AAaaah just in case I have a little "cyber surprise" for you on "stilettosteticooooooooooo" Dears !!!

  13. i dont know how im going to do this, but i want to make that leopard long cardigan mine!!!!!!!! and i love you paired it with the purple fur & gloves. im going to have to try out that purple + leopard color combo.
    maggie cheung, in the movie "in the mood for love" i was blown away, for like the 1st 20 minutes you think she is going to be wearing a different cheongsam (dress) everyday! and i love what she wore in "hero" but i love the costumes in that movie in general.
