Forever 21 HK Opens Tomorrow!


Every time I go back to the States, I always make sure to give myself enough time to stop by Forever 21 at least a few times. Good news is, the much loved US fashion label will be finally opening its first flagship store in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. The shop will first reveal part of its full six floor’s by opening just 10,536.4 sq ft as a preview tomorrow (18 January). The first 210 shoppers through the door will receive a gift coupon of HKD 100 to snap up some hot pieces before the rest of the fashion pack! Store hours will run from 10am until 1am every day. I now sure know where to go when I get those late night shopping urges!


Check out some of my Forever 21 outfits here!
