Quite a few French girls I know have been looking hot in checked shirts with jeans but all I can find are big baggy ones for guys. Not sexy. Where can I get great ones for girls?
Check Checkin', Kowloon
The Dictator rules: What's this thing you have for French women? Actually, we'd rather not know.
Tommy Hilfiger has a great selection of checked items now, from slim button-downs to more blousy cuts with drawstring drop waists, as well as ruffled dresses (HK$790 to HK$1,690; Ocean Terminal, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2735 7622). Polo Jeans has a similar range but in that sort of pre-worn, slightly wrinkled style (HK$850 to HK$1,290; The Gateway, Harbour City, tel: 2175 4388). The more casual Paul by Paul Smith line also has some (HK$2,590; Ocean Terminal, tel: 2730 7622). For something a little more fashion conscious, check out the latest collection by Marc by Marc Jacobs (The Gateway, tel: 2956 0886), which has a silk shirt that ties at the neck (HK$4,090), as well as checked patterns on cardigans, dresses and separates.
Note: steady; that's not licence to wear checks head to toe. Other brands to consider include Dsquared2 and a.p.c.
I have scaly skin on my upper arms - diagnosed by a dermatologist as keratosis pilaris. I've tried the expensive potions he prescribed but there's been no improvement. I saw a motorised skin brush by Sephora that looked like it might do the trick but when I went into a Sephora in Singapore they claimed to have no knowledge of it. Please help.
