Camo Snakes by Stolen Girlfriends Club

Stolen Girlfriends Club skirt and tank coming soon to Christing C.  Toms Shoes.


Wishing it was sunny enough to hike around Lamma and play in the forest while blending in wearing a full on camo outfit.  Instead it's still pouring with rain in HK.  Off to enjoy a chillaxed Saturday afternoon.

black rain storm warning


Rainy day musings and cravings of black coffee, the smell of fresh laundry dwindling amongst a cloudy plush duvet, juicy ripe strawberries tickling my tounge, distant clashes of thunder stomping on my jittery nerves, and droopy eyes craving rest only minutes after waking.  

It's a stay in bed all day kinda day.

True Religion, Hong Kong

Denim jacket courtesy of True Religion

I'm pretty obsessed with denim jackets and shirts for Spring and Summer.  It always just seems so easy to throw over a breezy outfit and create a romantic look.  True Religion currently has an amazing selection and I chose this one from the men's section because I was drawn to the oversized fit.  Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch and long walks with the boy. 

True Religion Hong Kong has stores in IFC and their new location at Times Square.

all that's missing is a single rainbow

There are weekends when you surround yourself with insatiable company, enough tequila shots to drown a club, and bundles of forgotten moments, and there are times you crave a quiet moment.  It was nice to escape with the boy and locate a sliver of sunshine on Lamma Island.  We wandered down overgrown paths and trekked about exploring until incessant mosquitoes challenged our sanity.  The night ended with a long beer fuelled, seafood fest and a dark city lit yacht ride to shore.  Finding more ways to escape the constant full force attitude that drives this city.  It's the small time out that makes you love everything else.

Lee Jeans White Label


I joined a few of my favourite HK bloggers (hi JJ and Denise!) to style a few pieces from Lee Jeans' new White Label collection.   The pieces were very classic with a fun twist, and perfect for mixing and matching this summer.  I went for two simple pieces and put a grunge aesthetic to the mix.  I'm love the slight ombre in the shirt and grey seems to always be my colour of choice when it comes to skinny denim.  Go check out the collection in Lee Stores now.

that extra 24 hours

One Teaspoon top.  Stolen Girlfriends Club skirt coming soon to Christing C.

Long weekends always sneak up and surprise me at the most unexpected times.  I guess being self employed means calendars mean nothing more than a long list of meetings, parties, and dates.  Is it really the boy's bday soon?   We never plan more than two weeks in advance and ignore deadlines until the absolute last minute.  I wonder if we'll ever grow out of this frivolous habit.  Hope not.

Polkadot Boutique launches Cameo, Hong Kong

Cameo jacket and shorts

Mixing prints is definitely a fun pastime of mine, but matching prints is equally exciting.  I was instantly drawn to this cute print set designed by Tale and Pernille, the Norwegian duo behind Cameo.  The fact that the jacket was a bomber made my instant liking even more evident.  I paired it with nothing but barely there sandals and a tan I acquired during the few sunny hours we experienced this weekend. 

Cameo's collection emulates 1970's inspiration, but with a distinct contemporary twist.  Seriously on trend, integrating silk fabrics and bright prints perfect for summer picnics and cocktails on your favourite terrace.  I couldn't get over the silk bombers, sheer blouses, and brightly printed dresses.  Polkadot Boutique have launched Cameo at their boutique this May.  Go check it out along with many other local and international designers they have on offer.
