Glutter Fashion: WINTER JACKETS

Hong Kong

If you hadn’t noticed because you are brought up in near artic conditions of places like the East Coast or England, The winter is here. Which means I get to bust out all my jackets and start looking like the San Franciscan Sullen Scenester that I could possibly be mistaken for, but am not because I don’t like bright red lipstick and hate the Stokes.

So look out for a Joplin styling jacket (if you don’t know what one is, what were you thinking wanting to say hello?) or a De Beauvoir dark brown suede with a halo of smoke clinging like a sexy boy who is waiting to be devoured or the battered whiskey dunked Bukowski leather black or the ankle length navy wool with pink fake Faithful fur for the extra special occasions.

Yes. Winter is here and it’s time to step up into being the moody glamour queen with smoky eyes and Bette Davis Voice that only early darkness and icy air allows for.

Time to put away the sunny LA look that works so well with the hot humid hot of HK and move up North. I told you I just exist here and there. When it comes to clothes, I can’t shake the Californian Girl out of me, coz really we are best and you so should wish we all were.

  1. I just returned from Paris, Milan and Barcelona (where the local girls sure know a thing ot too about fashion) where a lot of girls were doing the suede, leather, fur, denim rock chick thing. Very cool. Mixing up fabrics and textures was definitely in. Meanwhile, can you send some fashion-sense north to Shanghai?

  2. Kewl. Means fashion is coming my way! If you wear something long enough, sure to come back to you. Although in Milan I was shocked by the black g-string with white pants I saw there. I didn’t think that was a good look unless you are called Kate, Naomi, or whoever the newest girls are. I sure show my age!
