new york jewellery designer nugaard in hong kong

I'm compiling a Christmas gift guide for boys at the moment. I've been emailed by so many frantic hubbies who need to buy the wiff something hot. Honestly. Before that gem arrives check out these leafy jewels from New York designer Nugaard. Currently selling in Polkadot Boutique in Hong Kong for a limited time only (until Monday in fact...). If you're in New York or London you can find them in Anthropologie, and similar styles in Soho and the Union Square Holiday Market (NYC). 

november nights...

This post might be a little lacking in effort due to a fun Tory Burch event last night where Piers (awesome photographer) met Hil from Lyst and Laura from Elle... sorry for the fuzzy photos!

Happenings in Hong Kong which you can't miss this November...

hong kong: what's inside...polkadot boutique

My spy checked out Polkdot Boutique this weekend. The people behind it are Karen and Jamie, who met in Hong Kong whilst hiking three years ago (how sweet), she spotted...gorgeous belts, great going out outfits/dresses for work, a cute polkadot sleeveless dress, a nice cropped wool jacket, pretty silk tops and lots and lots of stylish jewellery. The price point was what impressed her most, dresses were around HKD600. Some of the noteable brands which they stock are...Hong Kong based Bejewelled Bespoke, Emily and Finn and Nancy Dee from the UK, plus some US jewellery designers; EmilyElizabeth, Christina Kober Designs and Frolick Jewelry. Go check it out...

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...
