let the wind take away the blues

 C. by Christing C. Silverlake Shirt Dress, Topshop hat, Zara vest and shoes, Celine sunglasses.

The mandatory first post of the year.  I’ve been holding pretty tight to 2014, not really willing to let go of all the insane memories created in such a short amount of time.  There’s a nagging feeling it all passed by too quickly, but maybe that’s part of this strange world of parenting.  Each milestone, month, or little smile marks another moment you imprint upon your memory, knowing it will carry you through a lifetime.  Not to say I’m not overwhelmingly excited what this new year will bring.  I’m delaying the start, revelling in some alone time with my two favourite humans and keeping it all to ourselves for a little longer.  I know the real world will come knocking soon, but who doesn’t want to hibernate over the holidays?

lusting after another sunsoaked day

written by ChristingC
Wearing C. by Christing C. slip dress, Monki blouse, and Birkenstocks



December has crashed in unexpectedly and I’m still pondering how to manage a million tasks, I almost blanked my own birthday. Last year, with a pregnant belly and wanting no more than chocolate cake and sleep, I was in no mood to celebrate, so I’m contemplating something a bit more exciting this year. Thanks to my extreme need to be noncommittal about plans, we aren’t even positive what country we’ll be celebrating in, so that only leaves last minute options. As long as my two favourite human beings and champagne is involved, I’ll be more than content.

from top to bottom: C. by Christing C. dress, Gabriela Mora necklace, Hairy Crab at Cuisine Cuisine, Bread&Beast at PMQ, Melissa Bui’s SS15 Collection, and Carin Wester Blouse paired with Le Marais Skirt.

It’s been awhile and I somehow didn’t notice.  I’m going to learn to be better on here.  Pinky swear…take more pics, post more pics 😉 

Lately it’s all about planning two beach holidays happening in about a week and keeping up with daily date nights and an almost crawling baby.  I need to spin this week and get my holiday wardrobe in full gear.  

Missed u!

teach them well and let them lead the way

written by ChristingC
Monday has arrived faster than expected and I’m trying to wrap my mind around all that has surpassed in the past six months. I often dwell in moments of anxiety when it dawns on my subconscious that it is pretty feasible for four years to pass within a flash. Do you ever fear not enough has been accomplished in your 24 hour day? I have friends who can run at full pace 99% of the time, and then there’s me.  Achievement without my relaxed happiness basically means nothing.  The actual idea that my daughter has to go to school by the age of two and that I need to consider which education path she should take before her first step has even occurred is extremely surreal.  As each generation grows we become more competitive, more structured, more determined.  We dream bigger but what happened to just lying on a beach, maybe for a month, building a good foundation for a loving family.  I am starting to realise the healthier my relationship is with my daughter and my husband the more well adjusted she’ll be in future.  What is a great education and all the opportunity in the world if she doesn’t feel safe or know the true meaning of love.  Everyone speaks of planning how they will teach their children math, reading, and writing, but how do we teach our young about the world.  How to search for true love and not to throw yourself away for anything less.  How to be strong, confident, and voice your views.  How to share and have compassion for others less fortunate than yourself.  How to enjoy your life rather than trapping yourself in a path that is forced upon you.  Half a year will have passed since she entered this world and I just want to make sure she smiles and laughs through most of her day.  Everything else will come later, and if all those crazy logistics don’t really work out just as well as the super planners then it will still be okay because we are happy and have each other.

press stop

written by ChristingC
Ba&sh knit jacket, C. by Christing C. slip dress, and Zara boots.
Lazily browsing the web, eyes barely open, half paying attention to the new Kiera Knightly movie playing in the background, leaning my sleepy head upon the boy’s shoulder, and sipping decaf coffee with a little bowl of ice cream.  Sundays are often the best part of fun packed, non-stop weeks.  I relish in romantic date nights, champagne fuelled recklessness, and encouraging my creative mind to run wild but sometimes I just want to snooze, cuddle my family, and mindlessly window shop online.  Hope you are all enjoying a lazy Sunday too.

we shared a moment that will last till the end

written by ChristingC
Loving the nostalgic idea of Autumn despite the fact that HK doesn’t really cater weather wise to this season at all.  I’m still drawn to the mood.  A certain quiet buzz as we near the end of the year. It’s been a big year for me and the boy and I are ensuring we end it with a bang.  Lots of plans in action for the next few months, and a general thankful attitude towards all that has happened.  As I inch into one busy week to the next, I’m willing the months to move in slow motion so I am able to relish each second and remember it all.

finding you

written by ChristingC
 Traipsing through my old stomping grounds and reminiscing about a past life has me thinking how much things have changed in the past few years.  Not only had the boy and I uprooted everything we knew in exchange for an enticing opportunity, but during this shift our dreams, goals, and needs have moved along to a new place.  It can be daunting to return somewhere that little has changed and realize how much you have in this process.  I now relish in time spent alone with my family and need little else than laughter, cuddles, and full time moments in our trio.  Rampant stories about escapades in the debatable fun of one night stands, boring debates about which neighbourhood is trendiest, or just general time spent perfecting that make up full face are just that much less interesting.  Instead I dream of deserted islands and foreign family adventures, the perfect ingredients to a cozy home, making the my girl grin her biggest smile, and long midnight chats with the boy.  Nothing is ever perfect, but I am a believer in building your dreams, not throwing in the towel too soon, or taking the road most travelled.  Do it your way and regret will never find you.

Ba&sh Hong Kong, IFC

written by ChristingC
Ba&sh Blouse
Ba&sh Knit Jacket
Ba&sh top and skirt
One of my favourite French imports has set up camp in IFC and I couldn’t be more excited.  Taking direct inspiration from their Paris boutiques, Ba&sh’s HK location oozes Parisian style and flair.  I couldn’t get enough of their new Autumn/Winter collection and am not exaggerating when I say I could happily wear every single piece.  The bohemian, evidently french designs bring up cravings for carafes of vin in St Germain, long night walks along La Seine, and public displays of affection in the winding streets of Le Marais.  Make sure to visit their new boutique and add a little je ne sais quoi to your wardrobe.

Papeete Swimwear

written by ChristingC
 Sun soaked Saturdays never fail to bring on major beach cravings and ocean withdrawals.  We recently set up camp in a beautiful apartment adjacent to Cannes’ drippingly luxe port and I’m still in awe of that spectacular morning view.  Although I’m definitely missing waking to a French Riviera filled vision, at least I still have my favourite beach companion at the ready for similar sun and sand fun in HK.  Papeete Swimwear are HK based and offer sexy, fun styles in really flattering cuts.  I loved the feel of their comfy material and the colours and designs do a decent job and bringing out your inner bronzed beach babe.  Go to their website and check out all the cute bikinis and chic one pieces on offer.

makes me feel like i can’t live without you

written by ChristingC
Hope all of you are enjoying a sunny weekend.  I’m trying, but more likely will be rampantly prepping for our trip and finishing up last minute projects.  Somehow it feels like all the work rolls in minutes before departure time.  I’m already dreaming of my feet in the sand and gigantic french salads.  Can’t believe it’s been three years since the boy and I went to play in Cannes.  Truth is I am pretty aware of how content I am with life in general at the moment by the fact that I’m not seriously over excited for the trip, and while I’m anticipating some European fun, the boy and I are already looking forward to the return.  Life in HK just keeps getting better by month and I’m acutely aware of how we have become religiously accustomed to all the luxuries it entails.  Despite my obsession with travel, I’m pretty happy with short trips and coming back to home base.
