How to be a 'Dim Sum' diva: The Christmas guide

CNNGo: Can you tell us what’s on your Christmas wishlist this year?

Neveen Aziz and Kelly Berlin: Blackberry Curve, to help achieve our new year's resolution of becoming more organized.

Spa treatments, to speed up our recovery from the debauchery of the holidays. The Mandarin Spa’s holiday precious oils ritual is one we want to try this season.

Bose noise cancelling headphones, perfect for listening to our favourite tunes on long flights or blocking out the sounds of the construction while running errands around town.

And something sparkly never goes amiss, be it an eye shadow (we’re loving NARS limited edition holiday collection) or a gem - if it glitters, we are sold!

 

CNNGo: What's your go-to holiday party outfit this year?

Aziz and Berlin: Shimmering sequin tops and dresses are always top of the style-list once the festive season comes round. Personally, our favorite brands are Alice+Olivia, LaRok, and Roberto Cavalli. The great thing about these dresses is that you can often wear them year after year, just by changing the accessories. This winter, you can update a mini dress with over-the-knee boots or peep toe ankle booties. Lane Crawford has a gorgeous selection and you can never go wrong with Jimmy Choo.

 

Or, for a timeless classic chic look, dress up a simple Little Black Dress or Little White Dress with a jewel
encrusted statement necklace -- we’ve seen a few fun ones at Harvey Nics. If there’s a chill in the air, bundle up with a belted faux fur vest or stole for a cosy chic party style -- we have our eyes on Juicy Couture and Patrizia Pepe, this season.

When it comes to make-up, pale glossy lips (we’re head over heels for MAC Dazzleglass in Bare Necessity), smoldering, smoky eyes, and ruby red fingers and toes will put the finishing touches on a glamorous holiday look.

 

CNNGo: What's the best way to spend Christmas Day?

Aziz and Berlin: All of the major hotels put on fantastic buffets and festive programmes including turkey

with all the trimmings, mince pies, sweet treats, visits from St. Nic and games for the little elves in your life. If you’re heading over to one of the hotels in TST, you can combine Christmas lunch with a trip to see HK Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker, which always starts the festive season on a high pointe! If you’ve always dreamed of having the perfect homey holidays around the fireplace, but are so far from being a domestic goddess that you’re currently using your oven as a shoe rack, a few companies will provide full Christmas dinners for pick-up or delivery. Relish Kitchen and Go Gourmet always have mouthwatering menus while The Mandarin Cake Shop is a staple for a Christmas meal to remember.
