    As work is winding down and my time is freeing up, rather than concentrating on the recipe to the perfect roast potato (no point really as Style Salvage Steve has the formula DOWN to perfection), I'm instead going to be playing catch up with pos...

  • In the Mood for Goldfinch

    Posted on Monday December 7th, 2009 at 14:09 in travel, food and drink, susie styles

    Have I ever said that if I were to be crazy enough to start a second blog, that it would revolve around "What I ate.../like to eat..."?  Well, if you didn't know, you do now and whilst I sadly don't have the inclination to start ...

    My Hong Kong shopping tales continue and as tiresome as it's getting, at least here, there will be a feast of eye candy (or cutie loooor!) that doesn't require a plane ticket to the Far East to appreciate.  The word 'chains'...

    Yes, this is a vintage store in Hong Kong and yes, this cat was shot purposely as part of the picture.  Another Hong Kong suggestion courtesy of a reader that I vaguely knew about before had to be sought out.  Despite the distinct lack of vintage...

    Posted on Saturday November 21st, 2009 at 00:38 in travel, labels, new buys, it's all history

    After my little prewarning to Steve that vintage clothes are a scarcity in Hong Kong, what was the first thing I bought in Hong Kong?  In probably what is the most organised charity shop I've come across ever, that seemed to contain a lot of de...

  • Secret Spots

    Posted on Wednesday November 18th, 2009 at 19:38 in travel, shoes

    Quite a few shops in Hong Kong operate a no-photo policy in their stores so sadly anything that I'm woo-ing and coo-ing about isn't going to make it on the blog unless I come home with a purchase.  I didn't realise the Rise Commercial...

    Posted on Thursday November 5th, 2009 at 03:51 in travel, vintage, new buys, susie styles

    I'll admit it.  I threw a minor grumpy strop after browsing in Opening Ceremony in New York.  I think the strop started sometime after trying the Carol Flare coat from the Whre the Wild Things Collab (yes, I love it, and yes, it's complet...

  • Antwerp Vintage Trail

    Posted on Wednesday October 14th, 2009 at 09:06 in travel, vintage, new buys

    Ok, so I officially sucked at the treasure hunt trail in Antwerp over the weekend, and I'll happily wear that dunce cap for a while until I redeem myself on a Hampstead Heath orienteering course. Still the trip was not......

    I'm cheerleading chanting because a) I'm back in London (at least for a while...) and b) despite the manic timetable of the weekend, it ended on a roaring RA note in Antwerp. Dan Thawley of Dan the Scout contacted me......

    Posted on Tuesday September 1st, 2009 at 09:42 in travel, beauty school dropout

    Another rare entry into the Beauty School Dropout category. And no, it isn't because I've discovered that moisturising cream x is better moisturising than cream y. Sadly, as yet, I still have nothing useful to contribute towards the subject of......
