everyone in new york is wearing…studs

Big earrings have been out for a while now, replaced by random shapes or pretty Bauble Bar constellations (as seen above on Fashion Me Now). I love wearing these by brvts (which I have featured before), for similar try these at Tiny Armor. I have seen a lot of girls wearing gold safety pins by Catbird, love this web, or you could try something pave by Anna Sheffield or this selection at Madewell. Oh and these are very pretty.

where to shop (and more) in new york + new shops opening in hong kong

I am suffering from a rather good night eating and drinking too much at Beauty & Essex (another Avroko stunner), they serve champagne in the restroom (note the new lingo) which is rather fabulous. So I thought I'd share some NY shopping tips which I have found...

Jo of Cup of Jo has put together a fabulous series of where to eat/stay/shop and much more in New York. I plan on trying all the restaurants and shops over the coming months and working on my own little list too. From her mentions I know Catbird in Williamsburg is a must and so is Madewell. See her guide here for eating....sleeping...and most importantly...shopping :)

I also found this rather good list on Racked NY of The 38 Essential New York Stores.

In Hong Kong look out for new store Polkadot Boutique which is opening this weekend, we'll be checking it out and reporting back next week, and watch out for Avec Amour, a new lingerie boutique which stocks the very pretty brand Mimi Holliday, they will be hosting an opening party next Thursday...
