Grand Opening of Showroom
Whilst pounding those Hong Kong streets this week, Instant Goddess came across a newcomer to the affordable fashion scene. Showroom is a new boutique specialising in Korean designers and the prices are good (from $300 up to extra-special pieces at $3000). For the most part, designs are priced around $700 – $1000 mark, so next time you’re on the Mid-Levels escalator, look out for Showroom on Wellington Street(keep your eyes peeled for all the clothes as you glide by!).
Showroom, 2F, 83 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong;
Virgos Lounge If you’re an Instant Goddess regular you’ll recall that she’s a big fan of Virgos Lounge – an online retailer of frocks and separates – usually with show-stopping beading and lots of razzle…not forgetting the dazzle! Most importantly, the prices are wonderfully reasonable for such covetable frocks. And hot off the press – VL are launching three stunning new dresses this week! The Olivia in Green(shown below) gets the Instant Goddess vote, so now she just needs a ball to go to!
Midweek Meal Inspiration
Oh what shall we eat? How about a Salmon, Spinach & Cream Cheese Tart? Courtesy of the UK’s Channel 4 and Delicious Magazine, here’s a new spin on the winning combo of smoked salmon and cream cheese. These little tarts are not only easy-peasy to rustle up, but look good and are super tasty –how very Instant Goddess!
