I experienced my first Typhoon 8 today.  After a nearly rain barren summer, the last thing I expected was a little storm which could clear all of Hong Kong’s busy streets.  Typhoon warning days are like snow days.  Everyone is ecstatic for a reason to stay in bed, and every business refuses to open in hopes of joining all the others who are enjoying a mid-week day away.  I woke routinely late for a lunch date with my HK fashion blogger girls, only to be greeted by a million texts stating warnings for the upcoming storm.  The boys and I sped to the market to stock up on supplies and holed up in front of our gigantic tv, snacking and watching guilty pleasure television.  Aside from a short appointment in the boutique, we have barely left our bed-like, over cushioned couch.  The truth is I barely felt a few drops of rain, but the giddy childish excitement from a “Typhoon 8” day was fun in itself.  Back to normal hours tomorrow.  

The dress is the one I wore to the party for the Quintessentially Magazine launch on Wednesday.  Taking for granted the fact that Hong Kong’s Autumn still allows for bare legs.  I’ve been told it’s like this until November.   We shall see.

Photos from Go Backstage
Always obsessed with backstage photos during fashion week.  They give the clothes more a sense of reality, and model off duty looks are always a blogger favourite 😉

Going to kick off Wednesday night with one big party.  Great way to get over the mid-week blues…

Sweater from Taiwanese boutique, H&M shorts, Mania Mania pendant.
It has taken more than a second, but I’m starting to settle into the steady beat of my busy days.  Autumn has taken a tiny nip out of Hong Kong’s scorching heat and sweaty humidity, so I’m savouring every minuscule breeze felt each evening.  I am now finding time to pause in my thoughts and actually appreciate all that has transformed my life these past few months.  Despite extreme stress and drowning in inexperience, I have grasped the importance of the learning process.  It can be a relief to step out of your crammed thoughts and fully relish the moments which make you smile.   Afternoon naps that seem to last forever, an expected kiss to cure a toxic frown, beginnings of growing friendships, and support you never knew existed.  Sometimes you have to take every step to earn the spectacular view.

Stolen Girlfriends Club sweater and skirt available in store at Christing C. and soon to be available online.  Jeffrey Campbell heels and bag from Chinese market.
Sundays are made for cartoons, naps, food, and general bonding with my favourites.  Despite a slightly stressful early start, I’m happy to spend my day off with people that make me smile.  Time for a reminiscent viewing of the Lion King and then dinner with my baby sister tonight. Perfect..

As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, Moussy is one of my favourite discoveries since moving to Hong Kong.    You have most likely already seen their amazing lookbooks featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw shot by Terry Richardson, so are probably just as obsessed as I am with the styling and oh so cool streetwear inspired collections.  We were lucky enough to attend their event last week where they showcased the new A/W collection.  I can’t get enough of the leopard print dress, over size fur vest, and that fringed minidress, but click here if you want to see more!

And if you’re in Hong Kong don’t miss their Friends and Family Sale to get 70% off past collections.

MOUSSY and SLY Friends & Family Sales
Sept 26-30 (Mon-Fri)
11:30am-8pm
Unit 1902, 19/F, China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong

Images of a few of my favourite things taken in my home by my brother.  

Check out a few interviews I’ve done this week with Sassy Hong Kong and Lifestyle Asia for more images and a few questions about me and my boutique.

If you are in Hong Kong tomorrow make sure to stop by Christing C. between 2-11pm to pick up a HKD500 gift certificate.  It will be valid for one week!


Don’t worry if you aren’t in Hong Kong…We have an online giveaway coming up soon!

Monday evening was spent at the book launch for Ning Lau’s “My Treasures.”  I recommend this incredible hard back book for anyone who loves beautiful images and fashion.  “My Treasures” houses images of Ning’s amazing collections of anything from designer shoes and Hermes bags to paper dolls and Little Twins Star accessories.  Every image is creative directed by industry insiders who Ning has met through her 10 years in the fashion industry.  You must see them all, but here are my favourite images from the book.  
My Treasures is available at G.O.D., Opening Ceremony, Colette, Dover Street Market, and Corso Como.

Stylein cardigan soon to be available on Christing C., H&M shorts, hat, and tank, Jeffrey Campbell boots, DollsKill fox tail, and Dior bag.
Walked almost 30 mins in the rain to attend an event for the launch of one of the most inspiring fashion books I’ve seen in awhile.  I’ll share pics from the event and tell you all about the essential fashionista coffee table book tomorrow, but for now I’ll leave you with my rain soaked outfit from last night.  Lucky I was wearing a hat…

Cotton on silk cardigan, H&M tank, One Teaspoon shorts, Jeffrey Campbell boots, Karen Walker sunnies.
Lazy Sundays.  Waking in a groggy mood only to discover the time is far past morning.  Forgoing make-up for gigantic sunnies and a layer of flavourless chapstick.  Slowly meandering down unusually barren Hong Kong streets searching for a easy solution to our rapidly increasing hunger.  Cozily huddled in the corner of a minuscule dim sum cafe while over ordering delicious bite size portions of steamed buns and sticky rice.  Rapidly getting through cans of soda in hopes of beating the blossoming headache and slight desire to return to bed.  Lose the battle only to settle upon a evening in the spa.  I don’t think much else will happen today.


Summer is basically over, but Hong Kong’s still boiling.  I decided to throw in an injection of colour before I retreat into my preferred Autumn colour palette.
