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.

You may have noticed that this past week I have been sporting a new lighter shade of blonde and reaping compliments for the amazing colour courtesy of Kim Robinson. Last week was my first time visiting the ultra chic and inviting salon located amidst Central’s chic designer boutiques. Kim Robinson offers a luxurious and private space complete with private rooms for each client and incredibly talented staff. I was lucky enough to have Kim himself work alongside his amazing colourist, Maggie, on what would be the ideal blonde for my skin tone and hair. The process was comfortable and open giving you a clear idea of what they can offer while fusing it with what you want for your hair. I have never had more confidence trusting someone and giving them full creative control. The result was perfectly sun bleached blonde without a hint of orange. Everything I have been searching for in a salon and more.
Kim Robnison also has a collection of hair products available in the salon. My favourite products were chosen as they are ideal for maintaining my messy waves in this insane humidity. I was instantly obsessed with the HRF Smoother which was perfect after years of dying my long locks. It rehydrates, tames frizz, and provides protection from heat damage. The special formula also incorporates Crodasone W which strengthens damaged locks. A must have for me as I like to keep my hair light and very long. They also recently introduced an Electric Volumizing Crimper exclusive to Kim Robinson salons. The small crimper discreetly adds texture and creates extra volume. It’s ideal to use at the crown to create my undone, tousled style.

Had a single night in Macau last week, and it felt like the perfect little break from our usual city activity. Think gigantic room with bright views at Grand Lisboa, mouthwatering Portuguese cuisine at Guincho a Galera, delicious scents of sugar and almonds mingling through crowded streets, a single sunny afternoon climbing to view the city’s grand melange of old and new, a Michelin starred Chinese feast followed by the absolute best egg tarts at The Eight, and just general rain gazing and chilling with the boy. Only an hour away and still feels like another world.
Thank you to Grand Lisboa for the perfect stay.

If you aren’t traveling over this long weekend it’s a good time to reorganize life. I’m not sure why Spring creates cravings of cleaning and purging your home of junk, but I’m definitely caught up in the cliche. Numerous runs to Ikea later we have a far more functional living space and are several kilos lighter in unwanted belongings. It is now time to find a suitable filing system for my wardrobe so dressing each day is efficient rather than mess inducing.
Happy Easter!!

It’s a black and white kind of day. Delving deeper into the covers and contemplating over constant cups of steaming tea. Thunder and rain bang in the background as we play, plan, and laze our way through the stormy hours. I don’t crave anything besides the comforting scent of our warm bed and the anticipation of a few more days that require nothing. Maybe I’ll make it outside for a few outfit shots tomorrow if the rain decides to pause for just a few seconds. Until then..

Willing the time between sunrise and sunset to last just a little longer than allowed. I’m used to errant schedules and spontaneous activities, but recent events have not allowed for the usual freedom I find soothing. I guess I should just be happy that the sun is shining and an appetizing meal awaits me on a nightly basis.

I can’t fully explain why I’m constantly blogging in the very early am, just moments before I fall into a deep slumber, but it’s hard to find a quiet moment in a busy city during a non-stop day. I’ve been dreaming about far flung places, slotting my worries in a box for later, and stealing unwarranted slivers of peace with the boy.
Goodnight.

Happy Friday!! I’m too tired to write anything else, but I’ll be escaping for massages and plenty of drinkies this weekend. See you Sunday HK! It’s time for reality to cease!
