Vivienne Westwood at HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week

written by ChristingC

After recovering from vacation hangover and battling jet lag, we managed to attend the last show of HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014. Vivienne Westwood showed her unique and extravagant collection to finish off the week and excitement buzzed from all corners of the gigantic venue. I was obsessed with the use of tulle and tartan, and of course her signature finale gowns which will always remind me of that infamous Sex and the City wedding gown Carrie wore for Vogue. I’m always excited to see international brands showing presence in HK and this was no exception.

HKTDC World Boutique is a fashion event dedicated to promoting designers’ collections and brands from around the world, complete with fashion shows, a fashion market, and topical seminars. Hong Kong Fashion Week features a “Garment Mart”and “World of Fashion Accessories” with basic merchandise, “Fashion Gallery” with high fashion brands, and “Emporium de Mode”with a unique, premium selection in an elegant setting.

missing those nights

H&M boots, Topshop Hat, and Givenchy Bag.

After three weeks of traipsing around London with the boy, sleeping as much as possible, consuming copious amounts of delicious food, and finding cozy corners to hide from the cold, we are back in HK. Less than 24 hours into our front door and we are back to a full schedule of events and meetings. The only way to be in this city. I have a few posts to share with you guys from London, so lets just start with this and we’ll go from there.

Having 24 hours of laziness all to myself. Partaking in chocolate brownie indulgence and a lot of Gossip Girl reruns. Chilly weather awakens my peppermint tea and snuggly sweater addiction in a way only London can accomplish. Less than a week left of our trip. I plan on delving into a few more vintage markets and unveiling hidden treasures to prepare and update our HK home. For now a quick nap is awaiting.

Camden Lock

The boy and I are having fun playing tourist during our trip in London. We’ve lived here for years, burrowed into the depths of Notting Hill and enjoying all the neighbourhood quirks the area had to offer. Staying in North London for a few weeks is a new novelty for us, so we are taking the opportunity to shop the many boutiques, cozy up in inviting pubs, and exploring food markets bursting with mulled wine and melted cheese. Despite blistering rain and wind, we are finding ways to keep toasty with genuine smiles and laughs dominating each day. Long getaways are the best way to drift away from reality.

new beginnings

written by ChristingC

H&M jumper and hat, CDD x Christing C. sequin skirt, Plush socks, and Zara boots.

Stepping into the first few days of the new year and prepping myself for all that we have coming in the next few months. 2014 is likely to be the most challenging, yet fulfilling for the boy and I. We are finding our way down an unknown path and are creating excitement and anticipation in equal measures. We always know just how to surprise our family and do things our own way. It’s what I cherish most about our relationship, and we plan on taking these steps in the exact manner we handle everything else. Plenty of advice and help have been hurtled in our direction and we are grateful for every bit of support, but making our own rules has always been our way. I can’t wait for us to start this journey, finding out how to mold our lives to fit our new addition. I don’t fear change, I embrace it, and I’m ready for us to push boundaries to create our ideal life.

walks through my dreams

Zara vest and boots c/o Asos.

I have been craving fields strewn with masses of wildflowers, cold breezes tickling my scented skin, assortments of decadent chocolates paired with steaming hot chamomile tea, and staying tightly snug with the boy. This birthday, I was in the mood to forgo parties and champagne for cupcakes, ice cream, and kisses. We meandered through the streets hand in hand, stopping momentarily for delicious bites of satisfying treats and glimpses of fresh air. The first peaceful celebration in awhile, but finishing the day with ice cream and the boy in bed was the best possible ending.

Christmas is just around the corner and if you are a last minute person like myself, there is probably still a long list you have to shop for before the big day hits. The9thMuse is a perfect spot to find fun or romantic gifts for friends or that special someone. I’m obsessed with their cute accessories, cards, and quirky tea sets and you can still pick up something classic and chic for a safe gift option. My top picks are above, but stop by their store or shop online to see their extensive selection.

empty space

Zara boots, Topshop beanie, Plush socks, Celine sunglasses.

HK is having a major cold spell. When I say cold spell, it means a chilly London summer day… but it’s a good enough reason to pull out the cozy sweaters and beanies for an afternoon of peppermint tea and people watching. Over sized everything in winter means I can over indulge in cakes and pastries while meeting with friends just before we all jet off for our Christmas trips. Don’t miss out on this one to get you through all the big holiday feast 😉

old habits

written by ChristingC

shop new C. by Christing C.

Facing the final week before Christmas holidays begin, and we are packing it with a simple mixture of running around town and last minute get togethers. I’m fully immersed in the Christmas spirit which involves forgetting the gym exists and reconnecting with my chocolate cravings. Starbucks festive beverages and happy inducing red cups are a daily must have, and anything warm and cozy has been put at the forefront of my wardrobe. Heels have been set aside for the moment in favour of rain stomping boots, and I’m still having dreams of snow on the 25th. Fingers crossed.

Rainy Sundays can often be the best kind. We woke to the delicate ring of raindrops and knew immediately today would be cancelled in favour of cuddles in bed and duvet picnics. A quick supermarket dash will be our only outing, where we made sure to stock up on plenty of indoor camping supplies. This includes chocolates, dumplings, and lots of tea. Lets hope Monday stays just a little further away while we doze for the next 24 hours.
