Vodafone London Fashion Weekend | 23rd September 2012



On this sad and gloomy day, I was glad that Kev and I took our place at the massively popular trend-setting catwalk show hosted in the official British Fashion Council Show Space - the same space used by the celebrity fashion pack and industry elite during London Fashion Week. We had front row seats to the Twenty8Twelve fashion show (Label by Sienna Miller and her Sister, Suvannah, who both recently stepped down as co-creative directors of Twenty8Twelve to persue other ventures).

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at LFW, browsing different designer stalls in Somerset House. Here is our day in pictures...

And here is my OOTD that I wore to LFW. Bright Neon Yellow Jacket from H&M, A grey dipped hem top from Hong Kong and Leggings with Black Ankle boots to elongate my legs! I also wore a mini Prada bag to finish off the outfit.







And Kev's OOTD was a black tailored jacket, a blue shirt with 3/4 length sleeves (both from YesStyle) and black chinos with brown coloured lace up ankle boots





We also attended a celebrity panel talk about key looks for a/w and trends for s/s their top styling tips plus styling disasters. The show was hosted by Amber Altherton (She was in ‘Made in Chelsea’) who chatted to fashion photographer Jackie Dixon and Model Zara Martin. They also plugged their brand new show 'Show Me Your Wardrobe'

Show Me Your Wardrobe started life as a blog by fashion photographer Jackie Dixon showcasing what fashion insiders were wearing. Jackie and best pal, model/designer Zara Martin have now teamed up to bring this fashion show to life on the small screen for Sky Living HD

After attending LFW, we took to Westfield Stratford Shopping Centre to browse and to nilly round the shops before heading back to Cambridge.

Honeymoon Dessert 2012

Kev and I enjoyed our honeymoon over in the East, side of the world at our most favourite destination. Bright lights, bustling atmosphere, where shops stay open till 1am, awesome food and with mega shopping involved, who can get tired of Hong Kong??! Even though we visit HK every 3 years, we always find new exploits, new restaurants and new shopping districts – makes the perfect destination where everything is familiar, when it’s not, if that makes sense!

Though we are well familiarised with Kowloon/New Territories, there is always something to keep us occupied or something we can explore and love blending in with the locals and becoming one of them; living and eating the way they do and generally being a typical Hong Kong-er! One thing we will do next time is to learn more and make the most of what the Hong Kong Island (Central) has to offer. We have only jumped over to the island a couple of times over the past visits, but next time, we will endeavour to see delve deeper and see what lies beneath the surface. Probably not much being a business district/bustling city, but you just never know… HK has its surprises!

During our honeymoon, we spent a lot more time chilling and taking strolls rather than rushing to visit every attraction HK has to offer. Since this is almost a second home to us, we didn’t have to behave like tourists and we really enjoyed just eating and shopping and spending more time with family. We did finally visit Disneyland which we were a little put off to begin with when it first opened, but we thought we might as well tick off another attraction off our list! It was delightful but not as fantastic as I imagined other Disneylands to be as the park is quite small in comparison to its American Counterpart, however, Kev and I really made the most of it and lasted till then end to watch the spectacular fireworks display.

Here are just a few pics from our honeymoon. We also made a visit to S. Korea - Seoul.

Arm Candy

Came across this beautiful vintage style arm cuff from Zara. It has a very elegant and whimsical feel about it with all the pearls and diamantes. Perfect to jazz up an outfit or for a wedding. Thought I share.



20星期日 5月 2012年 ~ Our Wedding Day

Well it has been a very long time since I last posted a blog. So much has happened since May. Kevin and I finally wed on 20th May and we had a beautiful and memorable day that anyone could wish for ♥ ♥

When it came to walking down the aisle, we were preparing ourselves before we took the long walk down the aisle. The isle took about 1min and 30secs or so to walk down so we all had a hefty walk to the pillars! My nerves really got the better of me and I could see my bridesmaids being just as emotional as I was! I was completely overwhelmed knowing I was minutes away from being married to my one and only and having my guests watch me as I walk down the 'love aisle', as I call it. Dad said a few encouraging words to me before we walked down the aisle and was glad he was by my side.

My favourite part of the whole day was the ceremony, mainly because it was the most touching and the sincerity of exchanging ourvows to each other was the most important aspect of whole the day for us. I truly believed every word and vow we promised each other and it was an unforgettable moment for us! I did get emotional saying my part of the vows, but I think that just added to the 'specialness' to the ceremony. Kevin was as ever, cool, calm and collected. My better half :)

If there was one thing I could change about the day; I wished we could have had more time to spend with our loved ones. The day was so hectic for us but I think this is just how wedding goes - It's like a whirlwind but it was great to be swept off our feet!

Thank you to those who made our day just that more special

Here are just a few from our wedding day..














Our wedding rings. My ring was bespoke and designed by moi! It has diamonds set along the top of the ring in a channel & bezel setting

Kev's ring is a half court ring; nice & simple.

Both Platinum - for Longevity :)

Pre-Wedding Shoot


May 2012 has become one of the wettest in 300 years according to the news, but on Sunday 13th May, a blast of sunshine came out to play and I was lucky to have arranged a pre-wedding shoot with our photographer, Jayne on this very day. The location was at Jesus College, Cambridge. The beautiful weather certainly influences the way the pictures were captured and both Kevin and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as our Photographer has a very calming influences as well as being able to guide us on the shoot. Here are some sneak peeks at some of the photos she had taken for us.
