THE FASHION FILES

By Karen Page

For most women, after the initial excitement passes upon hearing that they are pregnant, panic sets in as they realize that they are going to have to say goodbye to their hot body for the next 9 months and beyond. And the further realization that all that is now available to them are ultra conservative, frumpy maternity fashion that makes you look like a sack of potatoes, doesn’t help things either! But don’t despair…this is no longer the case. You’ll soon learn that a pregnant woman can still be sexy and a bump is no reason to sacrifice your style.

In theory this outfit is pretty cute. In reality it was 100% humidity, about 95*F, and I was dying. Why I thought jeans would be a good idea is beyond me! In that little denim bag I was also carrying... get ready for it... A JACKET! Yes, I am a genius! You may now call me Lady Brainiac.

I wore this out the other day to go shopping in TST. If you live in Hong Kong you'd know this wasn't taken today due to the extreme lack of sun :P It's been a few days straight of crappy weather. Apparently there is a typhoon coming, I think I hear that every week. Last Typhoon 8 was a real disappointment, so I'm not keeping my hopes up!

I made a trip up to my mom's place yesterday to paw through some of my jewelry that lives up there. Most everything that's up there is either very expensive, or things I no longer wear. So I spent the day up there sorting jewelry that could be used for other purposes when I suddenly stumbled upon two pearl necklaces I purchased a couple years ago. When I first moved to Asia the prospect of fake Louis Vuitton bags and pearls were more than I could fathom.

 We may live in Asia, but that is absolutely no excuse for not following world trends. And this, my friends, is a world trend. These boots have been circulating around the blogs for a few months now, Opening Ceremony had them up for pre-order and were immediately abuzz in the blogging world. Now they're available online through a number of stores (check them out below) - and they are SOLD OUT in EVERY SIZE.
