VIDEO: How much can the SEV Trench Coat Hold?

I don't often do this. Make a video I mean. But it seemed the best way to demonstrate the Scottevest (SEV) Women's Trench Coat in all its glory...

A few things to note about the coat and video:

• It's sped up about 1.15 times to match the song and so it's less draggy.
• As the digital camera was used to film the show, I substituted my pink Samsung hard drive as its stand-in. 
• I didn't use all the pockets. I sort of ran out of items / ideas. I'm sure regular use will suggest uses for the pockets though.
• The belt loops are too low on the trench coat, which is why I removed the belt entirely. I'll probably adjust that. 
• It feels soft and slightly fuzzy in person. Lovely!
• Yep it weighs quite a bit when fully loaded. But oddly when on and all the buttons fastened it feels lighter. 
• The song is Feist's Tout Doucemont. 

Update: And here's the pile of stuff I crammed in. The iPod is buried under the hard drive masquerading as a digicam.

Small miracles: Goody Spin Pins

Hong Kong's weather this time of year is scorching. Sure Malaysia's hot too, but there I have a car, here I take public transport and I WALK. Having my hair down is out of the question. So I'm eternally glad I picked up these little darlings on my trip to Shanghai. 

By the way, WHY are these things available in Shanghai and not Hong Kong? WHY??

Because they are beyond fabulous. Each one does the work of "20 bobby pins" and hold up my hair without damaging the strands or being remotely uncomfortable - unless I screw the bun to tight that is. 

They also let me do this...

My (possibly) perfect winter coat

So the hot weather may have driven me into a delirium of longing for winter.

The fact that I run a fashion blog is probably a strong indication that I need things I own to be pretty and fashionable. And now here's a few more facts, I'm a geek and I LOVE organisational gadgets. So a cute trenchcoat that's a gorgeous shade of periwinkle blue that ha say... 18 pockets which can stow my kindle, a water bottle and just about all the contents of my handbag definitely has MY attention.
