summer with fashion hedonism: positano and capri

written by ChristingC

Dresses are coming soon to Christing C.

Winding through the cliff adjacent road towards our destination was both a frightening and captivating experience. The boy and I descended upon a picture perfect postcard where bright quaint buildings balance on cliffs encased in bright blues skies. We only had a few days, but spent every moment soaking up warm inviting sunshine, dipping into ice cool crystal clear water, consuming fresh octopus salad and sparkling carafes of prosecco, taking time to explore winding stairwells that led to slices of heaven, capturing the sunset from our quiet balcony, and a few hours traipsing around the beauty that is Capri. Our favourite new beach destination by far. Already carefully mapping our return to the Amalfi Coast.

summer with fashion hedonism: tuscan dreams

written by ChristingC

Dress by Alice Temperley.

Venue: Relais Borgo Santo Pietro, Chiusdino

June is here and it seems this year is a lucky one for my friends and family. Lets say many of our close ones have been tying the knot in 2013 and the boy and I are definitely partial to celebrating with them all. This past week we traipsed around beautiful Italy and ended the journey with a magical wedding set amidst a dreamy Tuscan castle. Think mazes created of tall hedges, generous displays of rose petal strewn walk ways, winding historic stairwells leading to daydream worthy chambers, rustic terraces bathed in Tuscan sun, and a romantic dining room serving up delicious Italian fare. The boy and I were completely enchanted by the blissful setting and made vows to return for a week long getaway upon our next trip.

So many more Italy photo diaries to share this week so stay tuned!!

summer with fashion hedonism: Four Seasons Hong Kong Swimming Pool

written by ChristingC

Wearing Triangl Swimwear

A great swimming pool is a hot commodity in HK, and a stunning luxurious one is like striking gold. It’s safe to say the Four Seasons‘ pool is one of my favourites in the city. Perfect Central location, relaxing infinity view of the harbour, attentive service, delicious food, and even complimentary fresh fruit popsicles and ice cream. I’m obsessed with their plush towels and chairs that make it almost impossible to stay awake and the healthy breakfast choices always help me kick start my day. The boy and I decided to stay until nearly sunset a few weeks back and sipped rose until we were dizzy enough for an early evening nap. My recommendation for a hangover cure or treat any day.

Pool memberships are available for an annual fee of $125,000 hkd and monthly fee of $7000 hkd for couples and $75,000 annually and $3500 monthly for individuals.
Alternatively you can book a staycation in one of their comfy rooms and enjoy a relaxing getaway minus travel time.

summer with fashion hedonism: tai long wan, hong kong

written by ChristingC

Wearing Triangl Swimwear bikini in Indiana Ice.

After two years in HK we have gathered our fair share of facts about the infamous Tai Long Wan beach. Starting at the Sai Wan trail, the hike is vigorous and long, few facilities are available on the beach, and the water is as clear as Thailand. The boy and I already find Sai Kung a far fetched trek, so a two hour hike after reaching our destination was something we planned to do but generally avoided. Last Monday we took the plunge and I have to admit it was worth every impossible climb and buckets of sweat shed along the way. Imagine coming across fellow friendly hikers who always offer a smile of encouragement, lazy cows resting in your path, breathtaking views of captivating blue waters, and a minuscule village with three local eateries and a surf shop. Ok, I did have a mini breakdown in the final 20 minutes before reaching our destination (I mean a steep incline of stairs after an hour of hiking is just cruel), but once you spot the blanket of sparkling turquoise ocean every worry dissolves into a single thought. Get in that water. The clear cool sea is refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to unexpected soft white sand. We meandered to the only tiny restaurant and recuperated over fried rice and Tsing Tao. If you can’t make the climb back, catch a ride on a speedboat at $120 hkd per head and reach Sai Kung within 30 mins. We opted for excessive exercise, and headed back over the hills. I recommend taking breaks often, bring lots of hydrating drinks, and there are two beaches before you climb to the renowned Tai Long Wan. Take a rest there and dip in the water to dissipate the overwhelming heat. We are definitely going to return to camp so will keep you updated on how that turns out.

Macau Travel Diary

written by ChristingC

Aje dress. Shop Aje on Christing C.

Unif hellraisers c/o Shopbop.

Had a single night in Macau last week, and it felt like the perfect little break from our usual city activity. Think gigantic room with bright views at Grand Lisboa, mouthwatering Portuguese cuisine at Guincho a Galera, delicious scents of sugar and almonds mingling through crowded streets, a single sunny afternoon climbing to view the city’s grand melange of old and new, a Michelin starred Chinese feast followed by the absolute best egg tarts at The Eight, and just general rain gazing and chilling with the boy. Only an hour away and still feels like another world.

Thank you to Grand Lisboa for the perfect stay.

Sydney Travel Diary

written by ChristingC

Wearing One Teaspoon on a coastal walk from Bondi to Bronte, The Island with other bloggers and IMG Fashion pre fashion week madness, a romantic evening with the boy in Manly, the rooftop pool The Pullman Hyde Park where I spent one escaped afternoon during my busy week, a bucket of giant prawns at The Bucket List Bondi, only calm shore we spotted was at Shelly Beach, photoshoot session by the Harbour Bridge, walks through Hyde Park, Mercedes Benz Star Lounge which was my second home between shows, and morning indulging at The Wing Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge. You’vre probably seen some of these photos on my instagram
I’ve been trying really hard to get more likes lately. I have heard that Buzzoid could be of use to me. It might be worth my time to go to https://buzzoid.com/buy-instagram-likes/.

A diary of everything else I did in Sydney outside of MBFWA shows. The boy and I were beyond lucky with weather during our stay and managed to savour a lazy weekend of clear blue skies and exploring at the end of our nearly two week stay. I became partial to long scenic walks and making sure all meals were consumed outdoors. Indulging in fruity cocktails and fresh seafood became a daily luxury and tiring myself out before an early bedtime was the non intentional habit. I am craving travels more than ever now. Expect plenty more travel posts coming this summer!

Thank you to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, IMG Fashion, Pullman Hotels, and Cathay Pacific for making our trip extra special and Electric Sekki, Christian Louboutin, Giuseppe Zanotti, Candies Gifts, and Christing C., for making sure I was fashionably attired 🙂
