the perfect one

Bec & Bridge dress, Jeffrey Campbell boots, Karen Walker sunglasses, ManiaMania ring.

I could happily spend the majority of my day playing dress up. Hong Kong seems to be the event capital. Seriously, every evening we are bombarded with invites to everything from gallery openings, boutique launches, and off beat parties to posh events for diamonds and celebrity studded crowds celebrating I’m not sure what half the time. Last night we attended a product launch street party at creative store Konzepp, where pizza, chips and beers were available in abundance. We then moved on to the ultra chic Sevva for a Van Cleef & Arpels party complete with delectable canapes, excessive amounts of champagne, and a Cate Blanchette appearance (I didn’t manage to spot her). The night ended at our neighboring “club” XXX who boasts a very trendy crowd, world famous DJs, and BYOB nights. Random mix I know. Either way my favourite part is picking out the dress…what to wear tonight? Maybe the one above?!

sleepwalking through my day

written by ChristingC

Stylein dress soon to be available at Christing C., Jeffrey Campbell boots, H&M hat.

Being busy is probably one of the worst things that could ever happen to me, or at least I thought. I am by definition lazy. You will meet few people lazier than myself. I can spend days doing nothing, lying in bed, reading magazines, and just watching tv. The boy finds it hilarious that the minute I’m bored I can cause a self induced slumber without a second thought. The fast paced attitude of Hong Kong and I guess starting a business has left me with little time to indulge my idle ways, and I’m sure it is good for me to keep busy, but there are moments, days, weeks when I miss the old me. Wake up at 1pm. Stroll down the street in sloppy attire and gigantic sunnies to pick up my daily cappuccino and magazine of choice. Flip through t.v. channels for an hour while tweeting or facebooking. Blog. Nap. Arise at sunset to get ready for dinner and a night out. And the cycle would begin again. Sometimes you could throw in shopping, lunch date, or a vacation into the mix. Oh its such a distant memory, now I barely leave this place…but at least have a few amazing projects to reveal to you soon! xo

caught in the light

Forever 21 Top over Kain tank, Missoni skirt, Topshop boots and hat, and Karen Walker sunglasses.

Feasting around a gigantic round table accompanied by family, drinking with the cousins after all the grown-ups have retreated to bed, chilling out on breezy balconies, playing with our numerous pets, and generally sleeping more than I have in the past month. Hope everyone in Hong Kong is enjoying the holiday. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Rag & Bone S/S 2012

written by ChristingC

(Pics from Go Backstage and Style.com)

Been avidly checking twitter, style.com, fashionista, cut blog, and a million other sites for NYFW updates. One of my favourite collections so far has to be Rag & Bone. Incredibly fun, neon hues, see through fabrics, loose printed silks, sheer crochet knits, and even a few hoods. I’m partial to the abundance of layers and could see myself playing around with more than a few looks from this collection. Is anyone else ecstatic about the fun colour palette popping up at NYFW?

hours of amusement

written by ChristingC

Maurie & Eve suede skirt, Top from Chinese market, ManiaMania 24 hour moon pendant, H&M bracelets, Forever 21 rings.

Our weekend is already running at full speed and it is still only Saturday afternoon. Since Friday we have been 30 minutes late for a seafood feast at Ho Choi, drank lethal cocktails while witnessing a stunning view on Sevva’s gigantic terrace, sipped champagne and gossiped incessantly at Kee, lounged on couches like first date participants at The Pawn, discovered a new late night restaurant just before we both collapsed, and even sat through 40 minutes of excruciating traffic for a delicious family brunch at Din Tai Fung. I wonder what tonight will bring…

All of my favourites from Hong Kong came out to help me celebrate the launch of our boutique. We had sweet mini cupcakes, fruity sake cocktails, plenty of champagne, and yes I did randomly change dresses half way through the night 😉

Thanks for coming out to support us!

Sinking into bed and planning for a night of deep slumber. Exhausted after a long day and chilled date with the boy. Dinner, drinks, and a movie always manages to relax me. Sweet dreams everyone!

just another outfit

written by ChristingC

Zara shirt, One Teaspoon shorts, Asos boots.

Last night we headed to one of our favourite Central restaurants, JAR, to witness my brother take on a slightly disgusting, slightly delicious eating challenge. For some bizarre reason, my brother always manages to get himself into “lets test how much this guy can consume” competitions. There was the bottomless baskets of fish and chips situation, the burger king fiasco in high school, and I’m pretty sure he sets himself a personal challenge each time he sets foot in an “all you can eat” gourmet buffet.

On this particular night, our friend doubted the fact that Tim was able to consume a 40oz Tomahawk ribeye on his own. Little did she know Tim has already achieved this feat twice, and just because he was in the mood for a whole lot of meat. So…while we dined on fresh seafood and rustic fare, sipped crisp wine and chatted, Tim inhaled his entire steak, which usually serves three, in about 20 minutes. The staff were so impressed he’s going to be on the website, and the owner actually gifted him with a bottle of Bordeaux wine and joined us for dessert. We closed the restaurant and decided JAR is definitely our favourite Central eatery. Not just because of the Tomahawk steak, but fresh ingredients, cool design, and nice staff seal the deal. Stay tuned for next Monday when my brother is going to test how many bowls of mussels he can consume at Coast.

silent thoughts

written by ChristingC

Mara Hoffman Rays Back Dress available here. Jeffrey Campbell boots.

There are days that you anticipate so much, it’s almost inevitable the moment will follow with a slight anticlimactic mood. This week has been driven by constant excitement, unbearably stressful, and almost too overwhelming. I appreciated and enjoyed everything, but am happy on this Sunday night I have time to be curled up with my favorite people, sipping searing hot herbal tea, and devouring far too many calories in late night snacks. Despite the need for this calm minute, I do feel a little lost without a million things to consume my attention. Such a contradictory mood.
