Are you guys a little obsessed with this tied around the waist trend too? My partiality towards the grunge trend could be due to the fact that I spent much of my early adolescence in Washington State, the birthplace of Nirvana and unbuttoned plaid shirts. I still remember sporting this trend at the young age of 12 with boyish denim shorts and a crop top my Mom was unsure I should be wearing. Some things never quite change. It does make me feel a little old to remember a trend the first time around, but it just makes it all the easier to emulate I guess. I recommend using your boyfriend’s shirts. The longer sleeves and length make the statement more obvious than your own.

I know I’ve been missing on here a bit lately. Between trips around China for an exciting project, catching up with family, planning upcoming trips, and everything else free time is hard to find. Finally got an evening off to catch up with the boy after two days apart. I have lots of fun stuff to share with you guys soon and we are off to Europe in less than 10 days! Yay!!
Off to spend a lazy Sunday at the beach.
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.
We’ve seen the truck roaming around the city, we’ve had Instgram drip feed us little bits of info, and the “coming soon” sign has been on our radar for months. I’m sure you all know and are equally excited. Topshop HK is finally opening… tomorrow morning. I had a sneak peek and got to shop first this morning and can tell you it’s everything we hoped for and more!! Tons of delicious denim, a shoe collection we will all covet, Topshop Unique available in abundance, and even a Topshop Reclaim collection exclusive to HK. Their managing director and head of personal shopping took us through this season’s trends and even gave us a little preview of what will be available from Unique in Fall. Check out the cool neon accessories, white leather, and jersey inspired dresses. I will show you my purchases soon. Until then, go tomorrow and get ready to fight for the best stuff 🙂
Summer will always be my favourite season. Long days lazing at the beach, sun kissed skin and hair, rose wine with a sprinkling of crushed ice, clear blue swimming pools and naps under a sprawling parasol, and the distinctly nostalgic smell of coconut scented sunscreen. I am going to be doing a weekly post sharing with you guys all my favourite summer hang outs, activities, attire, and food. We have a lots of travel scheduled in so it won’t just be about HK! Keep an eye out for swimming pool and beach recommendations, best terrace bars, cool swimwear labels, and even the best workout/detoxes to prep for all that bikini wearing fun. I’ll be sharing daily posts on Instagram so follow and keep up with the hashtag #summerwithfashionhedonism.
More soon!
Also featuring Indonesian fried rice and beer from Indonesian Restaurant 1968, every kind of cocktail ever from Lion Rock bar, and super cute stick art display from the pop-up Art Basel and Louboutin collaboration.
Piling on stress on layer at a time. Initially it’s fun to take on as much as possible in one’s schedule but I now can barely sleep in due to the fact that my mind runs constantly with figurative to-do lists. I guess it’s far more amusing than a 9-5. I’m currently back and forth from Shenzhen daily partaking in an exciting project. Can’t wait to share!! Stay tuned!!
Stolen Girlfriends Club skirt and tank coming soon to Christing C. Toms Shoes.
Wishing it was sunny enough to hike around Lamma and play in the forest while blending in wearing a full on camo outfit. Instead it’s still pouring with rain in HK. Off to enjoy a chillaxed Saturday afternoon.

Rainy day musings and cravings of black coffee, the smell of fresh laundry dwindling amongst a cloudy plush duvet, juicy ripe strawberries tickling my tounge, distant clashes of thunder stomping on my jittery nerves, and droopy eyes craving rest only minutes after waking.
It’s a stay in bed all day kinda day.

I’m pretty obsessed with denim jackets and shirts for Spring and Summer. It always just seems so easy to throw over a breezy outfit and create a romantic look. True Religion currently has an amazing selection and I chose this one from the men’s section because I was drawn to the oversized fit. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch and long walks with the boy.
True Religion Hong Kong has stores in IFC and their new location at Times Square.
