Treasure Hunt

I went hunting for vintage dresses at Beatniks last weekend and scored 3 beautiful summer dresses. Beatniks has been around since 1997.  It's opened by a couple; the husband is the buyer and the wife is the shop keeper.  She basically does everything from styling to steaming clothes to keeping track of the stock.  Not to mention that the couple also does instant alternation on the clothing.  The shop has moved around a couple of times but its latest location is at No. 32 Graham Street in Central (opposite Berry Good).  Welcome to ask me for directions.  Anyway, here's one of three beauties I bought...

Outfit of the day:

Here I paired it with Alaia Heels and Dries Van Noten Clutch.  Everything about this dress is lovely; the colour, the print, the length, and the way the dress flares out at the hip bone level...yumm.

I found this belt at a friend's boutique in Causeway bay.  The neon green tends to go very well with prints, especially vintage prints, and the wide of it is just right. 

I found these earrings in a random boutique in Causeway Bay a couple of years ago. Beautiful aren't they? 

Finally, a closer look at my beloved Alaia Heels from SS08.  I feel like a princess every time I wear them.  If people ask me what a "must-have" item in a wardrobe is, I'd say a pair of Alaia heels; not Louboutins, not Choos, not Roger vivier, but definitely a pair of Alaia.

Happy Shopping :)
