knicker picks & lingerie loves
1 - Cotton On - cheap as chips boy shorts with lace detail in every colour imaginable, 3 pairs for HK$99. Find them at the bottom of Lan Kwai Fong, undies are downstairs.
2 - Elle Macpherson - I love her underwear, she makes strapless sexy and her knickers rock. Find her in Lane Crawford.
3 - Secret Wardrobe - A little bit filthy and not very practical, but we all need that sometimes. Browse at 2/F, 15 B Wellington Street.
4 - Marks and Sparks - An undies list is not complete without them. Great emergency bra action for tricky outfits.
5 - Agent Provocateur - The perfect Christmas present (with a pair of earrings from Astley Clarke please). Never fails to excite either party. Love it at IFC Lane Crawford.

friday500 girl guide
I was a Girl Guide once, not a great one, but I rocked the blue shirt dress as it went with my eyes. The motto is of course, be prepared, or maybe that was the Scouts. Whatever. So for two weeks we are going to save our Friday500's to make 1000 smackeroooonies to put towards something stunning. We will then pooootle along to this exclusive trunk show at The Upper House. A first for Hong Kong, Anna Trzebinski will be showing her beautiful designs, which are handmade in Kenya. Not to be missed are the pashmina stoles with feather trims (see, told you, frou frou is here to stay). Pick your frou from Ostrich (pink, white), Guinea Fowl (white) or Flamingo (light green). She will also have scarves, suede bags, chokers and much more. I'll be there on Thursday 3rd, see you then xx

foxy cardigans
Officially freezing in Honkers. Time to get out the tights, cashmere and UGGs. And your foxy Cardigans. It must be an English thing, we barely leave the house without a trusty Cardi, just in case the weather changes dramatically on the way to Waitrose. I love them and I don't think they are granny-ish or boring. I bought two recently, one long, slim cashmere one from M&S (as shown). It makes me feel like a cosy bunny and looks great over leggings/tights teamed with boots and a bit of bling jewellery or a colourful belt. The other is a short fitted cream one, it is trimmed with crystals and is perfect for brightening up your basics. I dug it out of a cardboard box in one of my fave shops Magic Wardrobe (I also managed to buy a a little black dress with feathers on the bottom...very frou frou and I am predicting a lot of frou frou feather action this coming year). Magic Wardrobe is at Shop 74, 1/F, Tower 2, Admiralty Centre and also under the stairs at Western Market. P.s Look out for me in the FT Business Travel Guide out tomorrow!!!!

friday500 face
I don't really talk about make up much, mainly because I don't wear a lot, but I am mildly hungover today so it seems appropriate to discuss miracle products which you can apply at the desk, run out and look glam. All in approx 10 mins. For those little outbreaks and for brightening under the eyes try Mac Select Cover-up (HK$ 135). Expertly applied by Clare who saved me from an unsociable acne attack recently. I love a little eyeliner in the evenings but I was hopeless at applying it until I found Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner and more recently the Mac Powerpoint Eye Pencil (HK$120). It is so easy to apply and keep in your clutch. Try Prussian for a smokey bluey shade and Industry for a soft black/grey. They have a black sparkly limited edition out at the moment, head to Lane Crawford IFC or Seibu in Pacific Place. So now you look less like a tired old hag and more hot to trot, and still have HK$245 left. Save it for the flea market.
