Yay, spring! New collections are hitting the stores, makeup trends are starting to change, and we can’t wait to show you the super cute new items we found. From shoes to scarves to gorgeous new digs, we are excited to put away our winter garb and slip on this season’s new looks. Get those credit cards ready, girls, because you will definitely want what we are previewing!
Toss those heels to the back of your closet, girls, because this season is all about the tennis shoe. The good news is comfortable footwear this season is far from frumpy, and these shoes prove it. (Could they be any cuter?) We fell in love and we know you will, too.
Available at Tory Burch stores across Hong Kong
One trend we are seeing over and over is embroidery, and we think it’s awesome! We absolutely adore the vibrant colours stitched onto a black backdrop, and we think this skirt will be incredibly sexy to wear on a night on the town. Dress it up with heels or down with flats and you could easily take this piece from day to night. And we love us some versatility!

Spring weather in HK is so ridiculously unpredictable. One day we’re hot, the next we’re cold, and even when it’s humid and muggy, the aircon in buildings is cranked so high we are often left shivering. That’s why having one of these gorgeous, lightweight African-inspired scarves (made from lovely Ethiopian cotton) is essential.
Part of the resort collection, these come in a variety of styles and colours (this one is in tropical blue) with hand woven tassles. Stylish and smart!

Here’s why we absolutely covet this blush – it starts out creamy – but you can apply it with a brush – and it transforms instantly from cream to velvety finish for simple, perfect blending. Awesome, right? The colours give you a natural glow, and a “barely there” blush. We think these are a must-have for any makeup routine.

Local designers Cynthia & Xiao’s spring collection is fresh, exciting and something we are adding to our closets this season. Combining a graphic design background with expertise in knitwear, this season’s collection is something that made us take notice. (And keep an eye out for Cynthia & Xiao in our Designers We’re Watching article here!)

These NARS concealers prove why fans love its products so much. Oil-free, long-wearing, and – most importantly – non-drying, this product helps make those late night dark circles disappear (and we all get those once in a while, don’t we?) without looking like you put whitewash under your eyes. What’s even better – it comes in nine shades for all skin tones!

We often think of H&M as somewhere to get fun, weekend outfits, but actress Rooney Mara showed us we could look stunningly sophisticated in one of its dresses as well. Check out the beautiful gown she wore to the 89th Annual Academy Awards this year! Soft, supple and elegant. We want one, and we know you will, too.

Is there a better way to show your love for Hong Kong than to wear its skyline beautifully around your neck? These stainless steel and 18 karat gold necklaces created by architect and designer Simon Robin are sweet, whimsical and pay a lovely homage to the city we call home. We are smitten! These are great for birthday gifts, Mother’s Day or, hey, just any old day (we don’t need a reason to get them, do we?) because they go great with any outfit. Love.
