My sister, Hailey has become very much a part of this blog now and here she is again, this time firmly back in the UK and not on her travels across SE Asia (Still jealous! See here and here). We're both big fans of Zara and we both have the very same dress, except hers is caramel and mine is red. I know that a lot of other bloggers have the same dress and I've seen this style of dress now in almost all the high street stores.
I'm loving the elements of pattern in Hailey's outfit. From the spotted bow belt to the stripes in the umbrella. Generally, Hailey has much more of a nude palette to her clothes with hints of colour. It's funny how two people can like similar things but have very different styles. She's also much better at wearing heels than I am!
I have to say a big thank you to Simply Beach who sent me this bikini from Surf brand, Protest. In the weeks leading up to my HK holiday, I was trying to find something for a possible beach trip with my friends (yup, there is actually a beach there!) and that's when Simply Beach came to the rescue, letting me take my pick from the vast range on their website. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to visit the beach in the end. Perhaps, this is a good thing, oweing to the amount of food I consumed while I was there! However, the guys over at Simply Beach were fab and it's definitely worth keeping them in mind for any pre-holiday purchases! I'm just sorry that I didn't get to wear it but I would very much like to escape on a beach holiday right now...
Speaking of HK and spangly new things, this is yet another iPhone case that I bought while I was out there. The above was from the infamous Ladies Market which is full of touristy tack, mobile accessories, counterfeit/copycat goods and lots and lots of Sanrio goodies. I've been prancing around with it and my friends have looked at me quite often in disbelief with that look of "Winnie, are you sure you're 24?". Yes indeedy! Whether you love it or hate it, it's bling-tastic!

such a pretty dress! and everyone loves hello kitty x
Love the dress, such a great wardrobe basic. The belt really makes the outfit. Is it sad that I'm a little jealous of the iPhone case? You are NEVER too old for Hello Kitty
I loved your quote! So love the bow! Sweet photo shoot!
aww Hailey is so cute XD I think what really makes the outfit is that cute belt XD You two bought do much cute stuff at Causeway Bay, now I know that if I ever end up at Hong Kong that's where I'll go! :)
Love your sis's outfit, the belt is so cute! That phone case is amazing, I'm a sucker for anything hello kitty! x
Aw, the sweetest outfit..and the iPhone case is adorable.
You're never ever too old for Hello Kitty ;p
I love your sisters outfit, that belt is so pretty and I love the stripy umbrella anything with stripes has two big thumbs up from me! xoxo

hehee, you can never be too old for hello kitty and/or bling! Your sister looks lovely - love the polka dot bow :) x
Aw, your sister is adorable! I live fairly close to Laos, and I love traveling around S.E. Asia :) I just turned 24, and I think I'm slowly retrograding into a little kid. I'm really into bows and pastel colors now. Haha, I'm proud of it!
Your outfit really inspires me. And let me tell you, I'm rarely inspired in fall. It's just that I miss the crutch of flip flops and skimpy tank tops.
But I've made a resolution to be less label-conscious. At the moment I'm thinking sexy thigh high boots, bright tights...
What do you think is a must for Autumn Winter 2011 season?
Cute umbrella!
I want that umbrella!
You and your sister are so pretty, I love how she has styled this dress, I have a similar one in red too!
