only for the night

Aje dress available in store at Christing C. Mara Hoffman cardigan, Cheap Monday wedges, and Cindiddy x Matahari clutch.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like the holidays 😉 Christmas is around the corner, sequins are scattering the city in abundance, and the smell of cinnamon dominates Starbucks’ atmosphere. I’m pretty unhealthily obsessed with matte sequins at the moment, and Aje’s resort collection offers the best antidote for such a craving. The collection is only available in store at the moment (Christing C. 3/F, 13 Wyndham Street, Centeral, Hong Kong), so stop by and take a look if you are in town. I’m quietly anticipating an eventful Friday night and laying low for one evening to rest up for the festivities.

instinctual behaviour

written by ChristingC

Surviving on skinny cappuccinos and random naps during long car journeys. Grateful for a single evening in Hong Kong when it was cold enough for faux fur. Drinking copious amounts of champagne as a result of event overload. Contemplating birthday plans and the ubiquitous holiday season schedules when you have family scattered everywhere. Hoping for a few lucky moments, one million good days, and frequent doses of cinnamon and chocolate. Managed to blog post at 4am before passing out in bed. How are you??

between the lines

What do you expect out of those you love? Constant presence, unsolicited support, surprising acts of kindness, the ability to understand, or all of the above? As I reluctantly grow older by day and edge towards another birthday, I have begun to realise a sudden shift in my expectations. Our lives are speeding through change, our personalities are experiencing a new sense of maturity, and sometimes the world can seem a little lonelier than our childhood years. Instead of traipsing the city in hopes of collecting friends, you opt for quality over the youthful hope of quantity. You seek sanctuary in family, and those who entwine unexpectedly into your life. When you are young you believe love is magical, unconditional, and insanely easy, but the reality is that love is strength, understanding, tolerance, and growing together rather than apart.

slight chill

written by ChristingC

Urban Outfitters tee, Stolen Girlfriends Skirt, Cheap Monday wedges.

Although Winter only released a negligible amount of it’s infinite chill into the Hong Kong weather, I am still feeling the urge to hibernate. December brings cravings of calorie drenched comfort food, cozy, shapeless outerwear, searing hot sweet flavoured drinks, the aromatic smell of freshly burnt wood fires, and cuddling under an enormous duvet. Meals are usually consumed in bed, and sleeping the mandatory eight hours a night just doesn’t seem quite enough. What are you favourite December moments?

silent buzz

Hello. I know it has been awhile, but I promise to be on top blogging form once again. Life is steadily steaming ahead leaving me without time for contemplation or pause. My moods are swaying towards sloppily comfortable outfits, and dinner in bed over social interactions. I’m pushing myself towards a return to the gym and searching for a realistic, stable routine. The holidays are just around the corner, so hopefully an overdose of Christmas carols, cinnamon, and shopping will be the perfect antidote to my anticlimactic attitude.

More tomorrow.

i am thankful for you

Our little clan has turned into a slightly crazy, increasingly fun, tight knit group of four. Nights are always late and unpredictable, secrets are pretty much non exsistent, and laughter, tears and alcohol flow in abundance. I’m always a fan of letting go, living without abandon, and doing what really makes you happy, so what’s better than finding people who share this exact mindset. Moving to a new city makes you realize how important those close to you are, and when trying to build new relationships all you can do is dedicate each moment to learning more and growing close. Not every night involves downing drinks, eating multiple meals, and sharing stories that probably shouldn’t be shared, but almost every night is a good place start.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
I’m thankful for an amazing year, the move of a lifetime, and all of you!
I’m doing an ultra huge Black Friday Sale at Christing C. to celebrate so don’t miss out. It will be 60% off the ENTIRE store when you enter the code “blackfriday” at checkout. The sale starts Friday at 12pm in Hong Kong and will last for 24 hours!!
Stay tuned for special deals all weekend!!

Jack Wills in Hong Kong

written by ChristingC

Last week, a few of my favourite Hong Kong fashion bloggers and I, ventured to Causeway Bay for a special preview of the first Jack Wills store to hit Asia. The location was every bit playful, rugged, preppy, and quintessentially British as you would imagine, and the Jack Wills Asia team managed to bring a little bit of Britain right into the centre of Hong Kong. We played dress up, met the co-founder and head of womenswear, and the boy even participated in an exclusive styling session with our token boy blogger JJ aka The Wanderlister. I predictably fell for the over size men’s cardigans and their cozy faux fur jacket, while the boy couldn’t get enough of their perfectly tailored plaid shirts. Jack Wills will open at Leighton Centre and Harbour City on December 1st. Just in time for Christmas. Go there if you are in need of a preppy, holiday fashion fix.

an instant blur

written by ChristingC

I can’t locate an excuse worthy of my poor efforts in posting this week, but my photographer, aka my bro, and myself have been more than a little busy. I promise to get back to normal outfit posting next week, but for now here is a little summary of my week via instagram (i’m christingc if you wanna follow!).

From top to bottom: late night taxi rides, Forever 21 x Macau, Stolen Girlfriends Club dress, Armani party where we missed Kelis’ performance, my new fave korean bbq joint, little excursion to Discovery Bay, Stylein Lush, Sukiyak at Chez Cindiddy, and last night at a particularly random drunken moment.

It’s Saturday night and I’m beyond exhausted. The boy and I have raided CitySuper for an array of dinner supplies and I’m ready to dig in and stay indoors all night. Hopefully I’ll be back to my energetic self in time for Sunday lunch.

More soon!

Forever 21

If you live in Hong Kong and have a slight shopping addiction like myself, you too are probably insanely excited about the soon to be launched Forever 21 store here in the city. Forever 21 have done a successful job in keeping the whole thing more than a little mysterious, and most don’t even know when and where this store will suddenly appear, but yesterday I was one of the lucky few who were whisked off to Macau to get a sneak peek. Last night a few of my blogger besties and Hong Kong’s elite press were ferried across to Macau, or MGM Grand to be specific, for a little preview of what the brand has in store for Hong Kong. We were treated to a fun meal, generous goody bags, and an impressive hologram show where models actually appeared out of thin air. I can’t wait to share more once the store actually launches and we all get to dip into Forever 21’s perfectly on trend collections.

Thank you Forever 21 for the fun filled night!!

left side of the bed

written by ChristingC

It’s looking like a lazy and uneventful Saturday night. We have chosen pizza and bed over anything more social, and are avidly working our way through several random movies. I tend to flip through blogs and magazines when half watching anything, so here’s a little inspiration I came across while half asleep. Promise a more fun related day and post tomorrow, but until then goodnight and hope you are all having far more exciting Saturdays or maybe feeling as relaxed as I do now.

p.s. only a few more hours to use “hedonism” at checkout for 40% off your purchase at Christing C.
