OH, WOW, I've been the worst blogger of the year.
I returned home to little cold Denmark (from 20 degrees and sun to -10 degrees celsius in just one day? ouch) last Tuesday,
but I've been so swamped with school that I've forgotten to say hi.

We had an awesome trip, and here you have a giant photobomb from my trip:
I am quite in love with the Hong Kong skyline. Isn't it beautiful?
In the dark as well.
And they sure know how to celebrate a new chinese year. This firework display was GINORMOUS!
I woke up to this view every morning.
My aunt lives just out of a small town called Sai Kung, so we had to take these small adorable busses a lot.
Betty's in the mall IFC (8 Finance Street, Central) was one of the best restaurants we came across.
I luuurved the interior!
The view from Betty's was not too bad either
Loads of incense
Lunch at a beach in 20+ degree weather was not too shabby!
Fake Louboutin's? But of course!
The giant Buddha is my favorite thing to see in Hong Kong. He is amazing!

Well, what more is there to say about Hong Kong?
Shopping wise I'm not too impressed. Generally Hong Kong is difficult because the city is not made for strolling around.
It can be difficult to even cross a street. Therefore most of the shops are located in giant malls all around the city.
In the long run malls get super boring. You must know that.
Anyways look for IFC, The Landmark, Pacific Place and Times Square.
Look for Jane Crawford and Joyce while you're there. There you'll find everything you need if you can afford it.

Area wise I was most into Tsim Sha Tsui, where you had the awesome skyline view.
Hong Kong Island is really not that interesting to be honest.

In Mong Kok you'll find Sneaker street (I have no idea if that is actual street or just slang), but you'll find every sneaker in the world here.
Also the place to buy electronics and hang around markets (Ladie's market and Fa Yuen Street).
Though the best market you find is the Stanley Market. The trip is quite far, but it is definitely worth it.
Here you'll find Chinese antiquities, cashmere and beautiful chinese scarves.

And the Buddha! Do not forget the Buddha!

HELLO from Hong Kong! I've finally bough an iPhone. Just the oooold 3 (not even 3G), but I found it cheap and decided to get it,
as I'm also waiting for the 5 to come.

Today we went to an outlet where the above McQueen boots was available. Around 13000 HKD. I think I'm gonna pass. ;)

TONIGHT I'm heading to amazing Hong Kong. I am so exited!
I have a bag that is not yet packed and a 14 hour trip ahead of me.
Oh, and lunch with a bunch of friends beforehand.

I'll check in over the next 10 days if I find internet connection, otherwise BYE!

WHEN I REACH my destination on Sunday, I plan on heading straight to Lane Crawford to feel this little lover.
Time to get an A. Wang bag I feel. And 50% off? Yes please. Let's hope there are more left.

The exam is done. Phew. I scored an A, so that's a-okay.

FIRST CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN, now Alexander Wang. Naming a shoe Caroline seems to be all the fuss, huh?
That is surely because it is a kick-ass name!
I actually have a Chanel pump that is so close to the above Alex Wang shoe, that it must've been inspired by me. Hahaha. Laaame!
FIRST CRAPPY outfit pics of 2012. Oh wow!
As I'm wearing dark clothes today, you can't see much but:
Monki shirt (with sheer lacing at the bottom), GAP jeans and Lanvin for H&M shoes*

*These shoes I actually totally forgot about. I had to look back in my shopping archive before I realized I actually bought them.
Now they're out of the box and ready to be worn. Not today though, I think working in those heels would be a bit of an overkill.

What is up with me these days you might ask? Oh, not so much. A whole lot of sleeping (seriously the other day I slept for 12 hours!!),
a little bit of exam reading and a whole lot of nothing. Tomorrow the exam is set and Saturday I fly to a very exotic (for me at least) destination with the family for 10 days. Life is not too bad, is it?

YOU KNOW the stuff you fall for and never buy?
That's how I felt about this dress from Gina Tricot. So cute!
I took these pictures in summer of 2010 and still regret not buying it.

LET'S TALK spring couture. 2011 that is. A little late as always on my behalf:
1. CHRISTIAN DIOR, 2. ELIE SAAB - beautiful! Just beautiful.
3. GIVENCHY - the front of the dresses were far less interesting than the backs.

And now let's talk fall while we still can.
Couture has become so boring to watch as so many don't make and/or show their couture collections anymore:
1. CHANEL, 2. GIAMBATISTA VALLI

Shocking that so few looks were appealing! Aaaah, that was nice getting this out of my inspiration map.

Now let's talk the lessons I learned Thursday night. Either I'm still hungover or sick (and I truly hope for the latter),
cause I was a bit more drunk than I wish to remember:
Lesson #1: When a truly handsome and charming man hits on you, go for it. Fight for love, or whatever.
Lesson #2: Drink less.
Lesson #3: Do not take on the dance floor alone (okay, not quite alone, I had a friend with me of course) at 3 A.M. after too many beers.
Lesson #4, referring to lesson #1: Stop being an arrogant bitch.

What have you learned the last few days?

AREN'T these pictures from the Chanel S/S 12 ad amazing?

I'm not feeling so well today, so I'm in bed with loads of reading before my final on Thursday.
CIAO!

OOOUUHH, I'm tired today. Made a three-cours dinner for my girls yesterday followed by a crazy fun night out.
Returned to my bed at 5 A.M this morning. Then it must've been a good night, right?

CIAOCIAO.
