The professional portfolio for non web designers

So, what if you are an artist, wants a professional online portfolio and doesn't know HTML? No worries, here comes the savior, PROFOLIO! Download here. View the Demo here. I'll try to develop one to show you guys later and comment on it. Most of all, it's FREEEEEEEE.

Another choice: MySpace

I found out Myspace are opening groups featuring MySpace users as artist. So develop your website on MySpace, if your stuff is nice, then it will get featured. Join the art community on MySpace now. Honestly, the layout of Myspace freaks me out, it's not user-friendly at all for me. So, for details, please refer to CreativeDepart. And I found out that you can submit any interesting news to Creative Depart and get featured too.

Just a wee-bit more. OK back to fashion:

Actually this is a really good MySpace layout. It's called MySpace fashion. (I just added to that community and added it as my friend, I have only like 3 friends on MySpace). I started writing on blogger. Wonder how I can put all my posts into myspace =_=...

PS I bought the pair of Joy & Peace sandals yesterday, Yippie~

Ready for long lost Rainy-days-gladiator-shoes?

Ready for long lost Rainy-days-gladiator-shoes?

I was thinking about shoes for rainy days.. then I ended up in gladiators. wow. blah.
When I passed by Joy & Peace near my apartment. I found these nice pairs of plastic lace-up sandals on window display. You can see the price on the promotion sheet. Note: I am not and will not and never have been a fan of Joy & Peace. Photo from Joy & Peace.


Double the price and you got similar stuff from Givenchy. Photo from Tashed. Shoes from Givenchy.



Back to Gladiators. Nike Women's Gladiator. Art Center College student, Nancy Wu, designed this new sleek women’s sandal for Nike as a part of the Re-Mix & Re-Cut program for spring/summer 2009.

Here are some photos from the project. Now I appreciate much more on these pairs of shoes. I love student's work in progress stuff with concept. From her resume. I think she's Taiwanese. I wanna be NSW intern too!!!


Our pretty colleague Jor (according to wail), got these pairs of amazing Ann Demeulemeester lace up sandals and she bought them when they are on sale!
Photo from Fashion Inspiration. These are not Jor's feet.



Just a wee-bit more:
I still really miss these Ann Demeulemeester lace up boots. On sale still cost me more than $7000 HKD. They are gone...gone!
I met them first in Japan... they were originally sold for $22000 HKD PLUS!Photo from A woman and Her Shoes.



PS RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett. May God bless you.

SpatialKey Data. Let's feel like CIA!

SpatialKey Data. Let's feel like CIA!

Spatial Key. is a new technology produced by Universal Mind.I feel like is the CIA version of Google Map. It can help you research, analyse and visualize (feel faimilar? Parsons D+M student) whatever it's happening in a certain area with numerical datas. I can only think of how useless Hong Kong government are using 天眼 produced by Sanyo (I believe is this one), but can never catch that crazy guy in Mong Kok. I really hope this case will be closed asap. Watch the video and you will understand how Spatial Key. However, you will need Java to be able to run Spatial Key. Download Java here.

Video from Finch.

Just a wee-bit more about Spatial Key:
You can apply for the Beta version here. I have already applied, but it takes two weeks before they send you a confirmation. I will update when I try to use that on my own. You can follow them on Twitter too! I saw TIME magazine featuring Twitter on the front cover! I know Twitter rose $12xx% since last year (number of members), crazier than Facebook.

My Stylist: Wardrobe Organizer @ PSP

Nothing New, and it's very old indeed.
I have searched in various places in Hong Kong and I cannot find this game coz it's old. Is that because no one buys it? I really wonder how it works. The images looks like it's pretty organized and quite convenient.
It is called "MY STYLIST" which acts as a personal wardrobe organizer for use on the PSP. It will let people take snapshots of their wardrobe, organize them, and let them go online to consult friends on what to wear.
No wonder there are so many assistant out there working for fashion industry.

Bikes Section:
GIRLSSSS! Recommended bikes for you chics from VOGUE
It's summer time, it's time for cycling
Although I wouldn't say Hong Kong is a good place for cycling (Hong Kong government please do something!), cycling is still very environmentally healthy and physically healthy.

My fav:
Gary Fisher Simple City 8 W. I love vintage style bikes, ivory white with brown.


Abici Sveltina Donna.


Pashley Delibike. This one is really cute and funny hahaha


Vanilla Commuter.


All the above bike photos are from Style.com

So... girls should wear lovely sandals for cycling, maybe with a one-piece or a pair of nice shorts. That would be lovely for city cycling instead of sportswear gear set.

Green is the New Black

The Daily Green is a website that I have discovered recently.
It's a consumer's guide to green revolution
Green can be environmetally conscious green or eating healthy which is EAT MORE GREENS!
Being naturally healthy is important but it's sometimes hard to succeed if you are living in Hong Kong with all those evil food.

1. It’s a Pizza Box! It’s a Set of Plates! It’s a Storage Container! (It’s All 3)

Developed by New York City-based green design firm -- environmentally conscious organization, inc. (eco for short) Watch the video and you'll get the idea. I think it's a simple but brilliant idea. However, I wonder if any consider pizza as healthy (well, if you get margarita pizza with only cheese, tomato and bread and it's oven-baked, maybe it's a healthy food) and if anyone will put their pizza in the fridge for tomorrow. (I won't)



2. 7 Superfoods to Eat for a Health Boost
Natural food is the best food for your health and diet, or even if you want to loose weight. These are some of them that I like to eat:
Spinach

Oats

Oats are food with lower G.I. and will make you feel full for a longer period of time to cut the amount of junks you intake. I usually eat with 鈣思寶 from VITASOY. My dad usually eat with hot water plus sesame oil.
CHOCOLATES!! EAT THE DARK ONES

Blueberries


Honestly, don't go crazy and over-dosing these food. I've had blueberry with yoghurt and lots of dark chocolates... Gained a lot of weight...And I don't recommend the recipes on Daily Green website, they sounds fattening to me e.g. bread pudding etc.

3. The Art of Upcycling: 10 Amazing Cardboard Sculptures by Mark Langan
This is the most exciting one for me! I love the Art Pieces, they are so creative. Trash can be fragile and elegant too.



Watch the Interview with the artist: Mark Langan!


But his website is so ugly..yikes!


Just a wee-bit more about revolution: 1st July I'll see you all in Victoria Park!

Bike Chic for men

I am going to introduce the brand that I came across: Outlier

The Chic for Men Essential while cycling from head to toe:

Tropical Wool Cap from Outlier
I love the texture of the wool. It's like suit texture. The tongue is a bit small, looks weird at first but special later.


I came across this T-shirt from DailyCandy, they suggested this for Father's Day. I guess my father is not interested in this, but I am. Anyway, it's from Outlier. This T-shirt is called the Empire Merino T-Shirt, made of Merino Wool. Never heard of tailored performance T-shirt made of wool, curious to know how "dry fit" it can be.


I love this new shorts Outlier is introducing, so "chic" for guys. Nice length and nice fit.


I like the guy in the middle's style. The loafers are nice. Loafers for cycling, wow.



Lovely Climber Pants, nice length nice fit. And note the SHOES again.


Detailed shot on what you can hang on your body while cycling to avoid bringing a huge messenger bag on your back.

I would suggest wearing the Empire Merino T-shirt, with the short pants/climber pants with loafers for stylish cyclist. You don't have to be like this:

unless you are so scared of dying while cycling.

The Empire Merino T-shirt is named after "Empire", the "a film about having fun riding your bike in the city"
I miss New York City
