Fashion & Fun at Lane Crawford IFC Mall: “WTS” with Elle Lee

Model/fashion blogger Elle Lee tells us: “What to shop!”

For shopaholics, stepping into Lane Crawford is like stepping into a house made of candy for kids. I go there when I am happy or sad, I go there to shop or just to look at the beautiful things; I go there at least once every week.

Lane Crawford carries a variety of designer brands from around the world with many different categories and price levels. So no matter what your shopping budget is, you can always find something there.

For me, Lane Crawford is my one-stop shopping destination to find the perfect garment which can stand the test of time.

This month’s WTS, I picked out items from Alice and Olivia, Stella McCartney and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

A Coat for Every Season: “WTS” with Elle Lee at the Max Mara Flagship

Former model/fashion blogger Elle Lee tells us: “What to shop!”

It’s never too early to shop especially with nost Fall/Winter 2012 collections in stores now!

Even when Hong Kong seems its at its boiling point these days, winter can still be freezing. Brrrrr!

Which brand do I go for a clean cut coat with quality that never fails me?

While there are many I like, I chose to spotlight Max Mara as I not only like their designs but it gave me a good reason to check out their new flagship store in Central.

Shanghainese and Proud at the New Shanghai Tang: “WTS” with Elle Lee

Former model/fashion blogger Elle Lee tells us: “What to shop!”

As a proud Shanghainese, I am not so proud of the fact that I never stepped into Shanghai Tang!

Maybe it’s my stubborn Shanghai genes that kept saying that being a true Shanghainese, I don’t need to shop at Shanghai Tang to be a stylish Shanghai lady. But after Butterboom.com‘s great photo gallery of the new flagship store that opened on Duddell Street, I decided to have a look so I had decided it was time for me to do the right thing – and I found a lot of great looks to share with you in this week’s post!

Make it Happen Everyday with Isabel Marant: “WTS” with Elle Lee

Former model/current fashion blogger Elle Lee tells us: “What to shop!”

“It’s easy to make magic on a red carpet – except just how many of us live that life? But how do we make it happen every day on the sidewalk? That’s why I love to design.” - Isabel Marant

And that’s why we love Isabel Marant with her mix of minimalist and bohemian design. How do you know if Marant is for you and you belong to her?

You are a match if:

• You have a strong personality but don’t like getting fully dressed-up
• You want to be different, but in a discreet way
• You like to be feminine but not ‘super sexy’

Hmmm, sounds familiar to me. I think it suits a lot of girls in Hong Kong too!

Leather for Summer, Leather from Bally: “WTS” with Elle Lee

Former model/current fashion blogger Elle Lee tells us: “What to shop!”

Yes, it’s hot in Hong Kong and people are starting to wear shorts and skirts. However, because it’s Hong Kong people need to carry an extra jacket or coat to go into the heavily air-conditioned indoor space.

This summer, be ready to embrace an irregular trend; LEATHER! You heard right, short leather skirts, short leather pants; they’re the hottest thing this season. Of course they are not your regular leather, they are specially made to not keep you warm but to make you look fabulously cool.

I found my perfect leather items at Bally for the season.
