Shedding layers of doubt and learning to hear the voices surrounding me.  It’s my nature to want to be right, to debate, and to question.  You could joke this could be hereditary, as my brother shares a similar trait, but there comes a point where you don’t wish to be this person any longer.  I yearn for enduring patience, an eagerness to absorb the knowledge of others, and a quieter mind and outlook.  A peaceful, optimistic mindset can only lead to a similar lifestyle.  If you disagree you can still gain further insight from another point.  If you dislike, you can delve into the reasons why, and if you stop to quietly listen and think, maybe your mind would find it easier to breathe.

Pizza from Slices in Causeway Bay.

Random dog on Wellington Street.
Just another night in Hong Kong.  Joyce opening at Lee Gardens with my HK fashion blogger friends.  Pizza when our sore feet and rumbling tummies could handle no more, wandered back home only to run into a dog wearing sunglasses and devil horns.  I was in a casual mood that night and felt incredibly under dressed next to all the pink and blue hair dye present at such a party.  Next time I know.

Is it really Friday already?  I’m not positive when this week dissapeared, but the boys and I have decided to be productive.  What does productive mean for us?  Wander to the showroom sometime between midday and 1pm, daily meetings and brainstorming sessions over Vitamin Water and sandwiches, utilizing iCloud to-do lists, being more snap happy with the Nikon at events, attempting to not miss lunch dates, and sleeping at a far earlier hour than usual.  I think it’s working.

This week is event crazy in Hong Kong, but yesterday’s Lane Crawford party with Olivier Theyskens was most definitely the highlight.  I don’t think he needs any introduction, but here a few pics with my HK fashion blogger buddies and the amazing designer himself.  Still drooling over the insane collection at “LAB” by Lane Crawford now.  Speed over to the their new Harbour City location to check out the goods in real life.  More pics of my outfit tomorrow!

Moving your life to a entirely new place in both the physical and lifestyle sense can almost drain your emotions dry.  A year hasn’t even passed since our relocation to Hong Kong and I can barely reach back to my former London mindset.  Stacks of responsibility has now been set heavily upon my shoulders, and days flash by without any notice of what may come next.  New relationships are building and existing ones are shifting to fit into this new mold.  You learn about yourself and those around you, who have reached out to care and support, and those who have forgotten once your presence is no longer near.  You sift through all the mess to hold on to what is secure and strong.  Building a new life at the same time as building a business is far more straining than I could ever have imagined.  Everyday I learn more about my new crowded home, my new friends, the new bustling city I now call home.   I learn about the hardships and excitement about being fully involved in a start-up business, how to integrate family and work relationships, the finer art of networking, and ways to push myself out of my tight comfort zone.  I battle my shy and idle ways on a daily basis, and make a full effort in embracing the waves of incoming opportunity.  I now realize how sheltered my life was, and may be growing up for the first time.  Shedding so many layers of protection has shifted my attitude in a slightly new direction, and through all the stress there are insane shining moments.  Life has become exciting and unpredictable.  There are days you scream in absolute happiness, and others where you cry with frustration.  I feel lucky everyday for the incredible people that surround me and all they have sacrificed to put me where I am now, all the opportunities that have been literally placed into my lap, and all the amazing memories I’m building each day.

My trusty iPad makes it too easy to tap and save images resulting in albums full of inspiration.  The perfect go-to on boring journeys or cloudy days, and an absolute savior when I need to get excited about dressing up.  Here are a few of my recent favorite street style images. Sorry I don’t remember where they are from :-/

Spending today chilling and sleeping early.  Our visitors have departed and I’m not sure I can remember the last time we had a night off at home.  Lying in bed when it’s not actually bedtime is probably one of the most relaxing rituals.

We spent Saturday saying goodbye to Summer at W Hotel’s “Cococabana” themed pool party, which was also the last of the season.  Our favourite Hong Kong DJ, Angus Wong, invited us to sip fruity cocktails, dance to Ibiza style tunes, and take shots out of a gigantic ice luge. Apparently we didn’t find our beds until 4am and still managed to make it back to W for their Sunday champagne brunch.  Crazy I know, but who can turn down unlimited Perrier Jouet just after you wake.
