Stuffed!

My closet is getting out of control. I have always had the hardest time getting things to fit into it. I think my closet is only about 5'5" wide which is not enough space for all the things I've accumulated :( And this is WITH me taking out things to donate!!

Readers, any suggestions on how I can save some space?

The Hong Kong Series: Fashion

Hi All! So to finish up my Hong Kong series, I've left fashion to be the cherry on top! It's funny because we decided to photograph all the locals in their oh so fashionable wear and this idea was the friendboy's! This is HK fashion through the eyes of Mr. K:

Times Square, Causeway Bay

Light scarves even when slightly humid:

Booties with ankle length knakis, short cropped blazer and bag

All guys in HK carry a manbag big or small:

...And wear very colorful shoes. They aren't ashamed of color!

A little different: White tuxedo blazer with bell-bottom flowy navy pants and a wife-beater tank underneath?:

We're not saying we were fans. We just captured the moment with all its interesting-ness. At least his lady friend was quite the classy dresser!

Subway Fashion

See, not afraid of colorful shoes:

Missing this:

This is the last time I touched one of these. And yes, that's me there in the picture, about to devour that thing. Just thought I'd share this photo with you all... again. :)

Happy Friday! Until next time. More fashion awaits!

Valentine's Day What?

What are everyone's plans for the marketeering "holiday"? If you're like me, I bought my friendboy a box of Godiva Chocolates. Only the best for my puppy-daddy. He's got um, a wee bit of a problem with the lactose ingredients so I got him all dark chocolates. As far as plans go, I am spending a nice romantic Valentine's weekend doing taxes, car servicing, and dog grooming... yay! Romantic, right? I thought so.
In other news, I wanted to share how cool and awesome these new Gold & Wood frames are. We got a pair for the friendboy (he hasn't seen them yet).

Nice Buffalo horn striation

Gold & Wood Model H10P

Don't mind my messy room in the reflection of these lenses. These bad boys are polarized lenses finished with a silver flash mirror coat on the front and a cool blue hued anti-glare coating on the back surface of the lenses. All of Gold & Wood's frames are made of all natural exotic woods and (unharmed) buffalo horn:

About the horn (from Gold & Wood Website)

"The African and Vietnamese buffalo horn is taken from domesticated animals meant for the butcher’s shop. Indian horns are taken without mutilation or cruelty, mindful of cows’ sacred nature in this country. A Health Certificate issued by Indian authorities attests to the veterinary origin and good health of the animals."

About the wood (from Gold & Wood Website)

"Very little wood is used in manufacturing the settings. For example, the production of a thousand eyeglass temples requires cutting down a single tree. The anallergic nature and lightness of this entirely natural material is a major asset for the settings. For all woods used in its collections, Gold & Wood resorts to an FSC-certified supplier, a guarantee of the right and proper monitoring of the wood’s traceability by an independent certification agency. Its raw woods, from a controlled provenance, come exclusively from regions of the world where systematic reforestation is in effect and monitored by local authorities. Furthermore, the supplier’s facilities are equipped with used-water filtration and purification systems. As for the dyes used in staining the raw material, they boast extremely low toxicity rate and are strictly environment-friendly"

No two frames are alike even despite it being the exact same model. All the wood used in their frames are natural and not dyed. And buffalo horns are not ever the same color nor do they offer the same striation so one pair might have more white in it than others (as pictured).

Just thought these were so cool. Had to share. Can't wait to give it to the friendboy tonight!
