Supersupergirl flies to the Mira Moon

As I am staying in Hong Kong, it has never occurred to me to visit the hotels in Hong Kong.

The Mira Moon sounded like a fantasy so I was really excited to visit the Mira Moon.

When I got there, it was really hip and chic with Chinese tradition in contemporary Hong Kong!
Everything  is related to the moon.

At the entrance, there are huge lanterns each with a pearlescent moon which lowers down according to different dates or special dates so that people can see it clearly.
The staff that work there are kitted in beautiful Chinese dresses, their nails are elegantly painted with gel and their hair is styled by stylists everyday.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
At the reception, there are flying rabbits and plush sofas.
At the other side, there is a crystal bar where they have traditional Chinese tea and tea cups.
The interior design takes as its starting point the Moon Festival fairy-tale, a legend in Chinese mythology about the Moon Goddess of Immortality. Updating this tale to suit a contemporary setting, the characters from the story are represented throughout the spaces and references to traditional Chinese culture are expressed through modern furnishings with antique Chinese fabrics and prints, peony flower wall details, tailored carpets, digitally composed Bisazza tile graphics and a ‘lucky charm’ feature wall in the lobby.

Wanders & yoo is a global creative partnership between Marcel Wanders and yoo. The innovative Dutch designer, Marcel Wanders, is a leading light of the contemporary design scene based in Amsterdam, whilst yoo is a cutting-edge design and marketing agency founded by property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and the eponymous designer, Philippe Starck.

Free hair styling from amika: hairdo bar

The amika hair styling team were giving out FREE BLOWOUT cards in Central and I was so lucky to get one.
Basically they style your hair which reminds me of airplaybar that also styles hair with lovely braids.

Anyway, booked an appointment to try it out and they send you an email confirmation once its booked.

Turned up and had some fun.

I was choosing between the Pin Straight and the Alluring waves, in the end I chose the alluring waves.

It was really nice when it was freshly curled with lovely curly locks and I should have left it that way instead of having it tousled to get more volume, but it still looks good anyway.

Keep calm and carry on! Timothy Oulton is in Hong Kong

To be honest I have never heard of this brand before as a Brit because it is a relatively new brand that came out earlier this year in March 2013.

When I first saw the name Timothy Oulton, it also reminded me of Royal Doulton!

I was walking past when I was drawn to the window by the huge pillar made of real hard back books.



Then at the front of the shop, they had these mechanical displays which were hollow drums with bags that moved up and down.
A video of the mechanical displays:

Near the entrance there were two bed of real fresh roses in a metal holder which looked like a bird bath of some sort.



I did not intend to go in but when I saw the huge jars of liquorice allsorts, wine gums and dolly mixtures, I couldn't help myself but go in.









I was greeted by these two friendly guys, one was French which confused me because the shop was seemingly British but then I realized he just worked there.

Everything in this Vintage designer shop was amazing!!!

From the Union jack curtains to union jack sofas, it was just iconic!







Huge ball!!


The display of fresh roses around the store are romantic which are changed every two days and here and there you will see Timothy Oulton's classic black hat.




On one of the floors I loved the leather boots that were used to grow grass.
Although I would have expected this shop to be located in Sheung Wan or Central, the structure of this building was really suited for them because it had staircases just like British buildings.
On the second floor, I loved the HUGE leather back books which were real as well called Blenheim books!




Then there was this amazing glass table with a propeller as a base.
I don't normally like restored items but this one was amazing.
This place is definitely inspirational!~!
I loved the small metal trophies inside the glass dome.
The elegant chandeliers were inside a lovely ball frame.
For the not so modern, I liked the candle style lights in the gyro frame.
On the walls, there were some really nostalgic wooden tennis rackets.
When I can afford these amazing pieces of artsy furniture, I will definitely get them from here!
My wishlist so far would be the Blenheim book, Union jack sofa and propeller glass table.

Chic Chanel No. 5 bag

Thanks to my Pretty friend for sharing this photo with me.

It is a gorgeous Chanel No. 5 bag and not a bottle!

There is black version too, but personally I like the clear version.

If I get my hands on one, I would put mini bottles of Chanel No. 5 in the bag for a nice contrast.
