havaianas in shanghai

We had an incredible time at our Havaianas Beach Party Extravaganza in Shanghai at The Bund Beach this weekend with a party filled with Brazilian dancers, fun games, a live performance by pop-rock girl band Nylon Pink and, of course, a fully-equipped Make Your Own Havaianas booth!  It was hands down the best way to get through the heatwave in Shanghai this past weekend.  We partied into the night in our bikinis and Havaianas with over 760 of the coolest people in town, as MTV Taiwan's VJ Samuel revved up the crowd and got us all buzzing with excitement.  We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who came out to support us--the event was a huge success, thanks to our wonderful fans and friends!  We can't wait to come back to China for our next event!

stalking song of style

Whenever Amiee Song of mega blog Song of Style wears Stylestalker it's guaranteed to look good.  Well, okay, quite frankly, Amiee looks good in just about anything, but we think she's particularly stunning in everything Stylestalker.  And when we saw how she was recently shot for Vogue Spain's '7 Days/7 Looks' feature in Stylestalker's 'Time Travel' skirt from their Fall 2013 collection for her Day 3 look, we literally gasped in envy of how good she looks in the piece.  I mean, come on!  It's not fair, is it?  Amiee loves Stylestalker so much that she was shot holding up one of their dresses in her wardrobe for her Day 2 look, as well.  Seems like Amiee just can't get enough of Stylestalker and, hey, who can blame her?  We can't get enough of it either!  The girls at Stylestalker just keep getting better and better and better.  We can't wait to see what Amiee wears from their collection next.

spotted on: sammi in no. 21

When Cantopop icon and movie star Sammi Cheng <鄭秀文> uploaded a photo of herself wearing a gorgeous embellished No. 21 dress from their Pre-fall 2013 collection in an utterly chic shift shape backstage at a photo shoot, we couldn't help but squeal with excitement in anticipation of seeing the pictures in print.  Photographed with Cantopop legend, Andy Lau, to promote their blockbuster new film, The Blind Detective, Sammi carries off the dress with a regal quality.  Typically known for her quirky, over-the-top style, it was refreshing to see Sammi's style stripped back to a simpler and more understated look.  She definitely pulls it off with aplomb!  It's a side of Sammi that we haven't seen often, but one that we hope we will see much of in the future!  Sammi and No. 21 are truly a match made in heaven.

sexy summer

It's sad but it's true: summer will soon be coming to an end.  Most of the stores have reached their Final Reductions stage (yay, huge discounts!) and the Fall/Winter 2013 stock is steadily taking over the shop floors.  The days are getting shorter.  Autumn is on its way.  So that's why it's crucial that we savour these last months of summer and exploit each minute to its full advantage.  You know what that means people!  That means bikinis, beaches, denim cut-offs, flip-flops and coconuts.  All the way.  The sun is still shining and we're in the mood for a sexy last couple of months of summer.  Here's a little bit of something to get you inspired.  See you at the beach, everybody!

the man in me

Every once in a while, it's fun to dress up like a man.  Hell, if it's good enough for Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, then it's good enough for us!  ELLE Hong Kong seems to think so, as evidenced by a recent editorial published in their August issue entitled, The Man In Me, featuring menswear-inspired pieces from Nanushka, sass & bide, Chalayan and and N. 21.  When it comes to working a menswear-inspired look, the key is in the tailoring.  Avoid looking like you literally borrowed your boyfriend's closet by choosing pieces that are fit for a woman's body, but tailored in the style of a man's trouser or a pan's jacket.  Go for a very androgynous look by paring these pieces with men's style brogues and minimal make-up, or add a touch of femininity with heels and a smokey eye.  And don't forget: whichever way you go for, make sure to work the look with confidence!  Get inspired by this ELLE Hong Kong editorial and dress for the "man in you" this season.

introducing: zanerobe

The playful quality of Zanerobe's menswear designs are perhaps best highlighted by the story by which the brand came into being.  In fact, it all started with a bet over a couple of beers.  Co-founders Jonathan Yeo and Leith Testoni were having a drink together when they spotted a man in what they described as a "hideous striped shirt"; Jonathan bet Leith that he couldn't design a better shirt than the "hideous" one they had just seen.  And, the rest is history!  That bet ended up spawning a line of 6-8 shirts, which the boys ended up selling in select stores in Sydney.  Since then, the label has expanded beyond just shirting into pants, jackets, knitwear and even swimwear, and is sold at top-tier retailers internationally.  And now, finally, they are the latest edition to the Electric sekki family!  Join us in welcoming Zanerobe to Electric sekki and stay tuned to keep up-to-date with all that's going on with the label, right here at the Electric sekki blog.  Welcome to Electric sekki, Zanerobe!

love for dear jane

Dear Jane was one of Hong Kong's first successful indie boy bands, rising to fame in 2006 with their album, 100, after performing more than 100 live-shows on the indie music circuit before the release of their debut album.  Since then, Dear Jane has remained happily in the public eye, with a steady fan base as well as a second album, released in 2009.  We were excited to see the boys dressed in Insight, ksubi and, of course, a touch of Superga for their interview with am730.  The boys looked just the right amount of comfortable and cool.  Exactly how we like our male musicians to be dressed!  None of that crazy diva-style over-the-top styling that the guys seem so into these days.  Thanks, Dear Jane, for the love!

havaianas on holiday

While Electric sekki's beloved Founder and President Amiee Squires-Wills is holidaying in gorgeous Europe, us who are left behind in the office have been following her every move on Instagram, living her holiday vicariously through her as the weather here in Hong Kong bounces between weeks of torrential rain followed by a sporadic few days of extreme heat and intense sunshine.  Needless to say, we would much rather be on vacation in Europe with her!  Some of our favourite shots so far have included vignettes of her various beach accessories which, of course, include her trusty Havaianas, accessorised with Slipyz.  We're craving for a vacation filled with lazy days in the sand in our denim cut-offs and Havaianas, too!  Let's all pray for good weather this weekend so that we can do the same in Hong Kong!
