Childhood shenanigans

Ocean Park is one of our favourite places to visit. When we first met, it was the time we started to reach the height where we could go on the rides. We were fearless. We wanted to try EVERYTHING. Let's see how we do 15 years later.

Because this is re-living our childhood, we tried to dress as alike as we would when we were younger. And we were acting silly and all, but that's just the usual us. Here we will have a closer look of our outfit today!

 

 

J is wearing a T-shirt from Armani Exchange (not Emporio Armarni as she mistakenly stated in the video) and booty shorts. Of course she has her all time favourite keds on. She's ready to take her day on at Ocean Park!

 

T has on a T-shirt that her boyfriend bought her when they went shopping in Mong Kok. She loves it cause it reminds her of her dog when she was younger. Her shorts are from Cotton On, which is featured previously in It's a girl thing. T's juicy jacket is made of terrycloth, which makes it very convenient for a day out. Her skull shoes are from Steve Madden.

T & J are wearing matching jewelleries today, just like how when you were young, you and your best friend would want to have the same thing. Today their accessories, the cross rings, mini skull and mini clover come from Style By Essenza. T's friendship bracelets are handmade by her other very talented best friend, V, as a birthday gift. 

Now lets begin our day at Ocean Park! 

Into the aquarium we go..... :)

Even though I was busy capturing J's crazyness, I still managed to take some snapshots of the beautiful sea creatures and adorable animals there have in the Ocean Park Hong Kong. 

 

 

 

The animals doing their thing, like a boss.

 

 

 

If you observe closely, you would see that the penguins are actually undercover, Government agents on a secret mission to deliver and execute 'O.C' - Operation Cute.

 

After each of the visits with the lovely animals, OF COURSE we mucked around in the gift stores.

Venturing into the unknown of seaweed land...

 

 

and abducting adorable animals...

 

 

 

Most of all, we left our mark (erasable, though), made a wish and went back to Old Hong Kong in Ocean Park as well!

 

 

Ten years down the line, we return to a place where all our childhood memories are embedded. It is almost as if, our child souls have taken over for the period we were there - we felt so carefree, happy and ever-so-slightly idiotic.

 

Nothing screams 'Good ole' times!' like this trip back to Ocean Park.

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed joining us in our trip back to childhood! How about you? What was the highlight of your childhood? Did you have a best friend where you guys planned to wear matching outfits as well? Do let us know - we would like to hear from you!

Fun, fun, fun - here, there and anywhere!

HELLO dear Dashionistas!

I do apologise greatly for the delay in my post - I've recently been completely taken out by rehearsals for last weekend's performance (like, literally - you know like in Pokemon when the life bar just goes red and continuously blinks? Yeh, that.)

But I did prepare something to post for your enjoyment. So take a look below. This is what T and I tend to do on a random night, when we have nothing to do after work and just... have fun - here, there and anywhere!

There's more to come further down this post! But first, we're going to have a quick look in photos on what we were wearing for our little rendezvous at Causeway Bay.

As you can see, we opted for casual-wear (and at that time, I've literally just finished work!). 

I wore one of my favourite stripey, long-sleeved top and black, 'lai-si' (which literally means 'expel poo', lol - the crotch lining design of the trousers is very long, no poo was harmed in the making of this post) trousers. Of course, I paired it with  my red Ked's. 

For T, she was actually having a night out as well after, so she dressed up with a nice, light and patterned top, with black leggings (and as you may have heard in the video - leather-like texture) and boots. 

So as promised (and forced!), here is the video snippet of me dancing on the streets! (lol, technically I was on a nice, elevated platform...)

So, dear Dashionistas, what is your idea of fun and what is your 'fun-time fashion' like? We would love to hear from you! Tweet us or Instagram us on @dashionhime or comment in the comment section below to let us know! 

Lots of love from D-h! :) x 

P.S. I will try and keep up to date more now! So sorry once again for the wait!

Wherefore art thou, mon amour?

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." - Toulouse-Lautrec, Moulin Rouge!

Our dear T is one of those lucky ones to be in love. So what about us single ladies? Well, we are lucky as well aren't we? I mean, how can we not be lucky as well? - the world is our oyster, right?

But maybe, just maybe, there is always going to be a little part of us that looks out for love; to long for love.

Maybe you long for the love for loving's sake, or you long for someone specific ... - or, if you are a complicated fool like me then we do indeed long for that specific someone yet loving from afar is a vital component, so even if we look out for love, it is the unattainability and the vagueness that is part of our lo..- I've lost the plot now, but you get the idea: somehow, to love and be loved is an important equilibrium in our lives.

So then, what is the game plan? What is the perfect, 'looking for love' outfit? Like, eye-catching enough to get Cupid to shoot love arrows at us? (no pun intended... seriously.)

J'S OPERATION ACO (Attract-Cupid-Outfit, of course)

C - Carefree

We can't exactly be focused on our love lookout if we're constantly straightening/fixing/shifting/untangling etc. bits and bobs of our outfit!

U - Understatement rather than overstatement

Triple push-up bra with body-shaping, bum-lifting, more cushion-for-the-pushing-padding-adding mechanisms, topped off with 'barely there' top and bottom? No.

P - Peek-a-boo (not peek-it-all!) 

A little from the top, or legs, not both - and not baring it: just a little eye-catcher. Even if it's all covered up, but is body-hugging on your curves - guys do have creative imaginations when it comes to it. And it doesn't have to be the goodies - the magic exists at the nape of the neck or the shoulders as well!


I & D(Mind kind of stopped working here...) - IT doesn't always have to be DOWN!

Let's experiment with our hair - what complements the outfit? Makeup? Although it may seem like guys like the idea of running their fingers through our hair etc. we can 'tease' with hairstyles as well - who says we can't set the bar for who can unravel that loosely-done hair? Or that tight bun crowned on top of those collar bones? *wink*

Following the plan of operation, what 'perfect', Cupid-attracting, love-longing, happiness-seeking and equilibrium-of-life-balancing outfit have I chosen? 

I opted for:

• My sleeveless, gold and black top from River Island
• My (super favourite) flowy, polka-dot, Piccinini trousers 
• THE red Ked's (most comfortable shoes, ever!)

 

• My beige, fur jacket, and finally
• My gold bangle, tribal-like ring, watch necklace and earrings! (Besides the earrings, these accessories have been with me through thick and thin!)

The point here is, I LOVE each piece the most and I feel absolutely comfortable in them - and sometimes, that is what is most important right? As cliché as it sounds, when we feel happy and confident in our own skin and what we wear, there is such an uplifting aura! (or, well, hopefully!)

 

 

At times, we don't have to bend over backwards when it comes to looking for love.

"They say the best thing a girl can wear is her smile." 

Amen to that!  Even if we have someone that we long for and are head over heels for - who says we can't defy the law of attraction and be heels over head?! (lol)

So dearest Dashionistas, whether you are looking/longing for love or not, remember that your self, happiness and confidence are very important. Although they are not material things, I have found that they are important accessories of personal style and fashion! Afterall, we buy what we like and what we think looks nice, right? :)

 

So my question to you is: what's your most favourite outfit that you feel the best of the best in? Send us your snapshots to our Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and we'll feature it and hopefully get Cupid shooting arrows your way! (Again, no pun intended!)

Happy weekend everyone! Have a lovely week ahead and look out for next Friday, where K will be blogging the #3 post of the cycle!
