decadent

written by ChristingC

Fashion Gone Rogue

Craving a luxurious party simmering with mystery, light music and floods of champagne, a decadent heavily embellished dressed with a back almost low enough to be deemed scandalous, and the delicious scent of Chanel de Bleu coming from the one I love.

Maybe next weekend 😉

quick snaps

written by ChristingC

Jacket and scarf from Chinese market, AA tank, Topshop shorts, Mango boots.

I must have been seriously lacking in the sleep department, because I have spent a fair amount of this weekend slumbering my days away. The boy and I have test drove a few new bars and restaurants, but tonight we’re going back to the familiar and visiting the first hotpot joint we fell in love with in this city. The weather is almost too hot for that kind of dining so it may be the last time before Hong Kong’s scorching season descends upon us.

one of many

written by ChristingC

Forever 21 cardigan, AA tank, shorts from street stall in Taipei, Wolford socks, Zara boots, Alexander Wang bag, and sunnies from boutique in Taipei.

Taking breaks between shopping and lunching to relax in our air conditioned sanctuary otherwise known as home. Almost forgot how hectic Saturdays can be in some parts of the city, but I am indulging in the fact that you can probably never feel lonely. Hong Kong is one of those places where every restaurant is fully booked on weekends. Apparently nobody ever eats in, so we’re going to attempt it tonight. I haven’t cooked a thing in over four months, so I’m definitely anticipating the familiar taste. But knowing us, and the close proximity to delectable eateries and our front door, take-out is also a likely option 😉

Hope you are all enjoying your Saturdays!!

all i need

written by ChristingC

Gearing up for a weekend in Hong Kong. Will most likely be more tame than usual seeing as the boy and I don’t have our usual partners in crime, but jam packed nonetheless. Sometimes all you need is someone who makes you laugh to remedy a stressful week. Happy Friday!!

randomness

written by ChristingC

Vintage sweater, top from market in China, Topshop shorts, Mango boots.

Recently found a new clothing market to dig through weekly, saw a four foot long snake slither past me during lunch break, dabbled in Chinese social networking despite not being able to read Chinese, full heartedly decided I will be attending Australian Fashion Week in May, and allocated red bean soup as my new favourite snack. Back in Hong Kong tomorrow. Looking forward to a weekend in buzzing city atmosphere.

distressed

written by ChristingC

Some pretty hot leather pieces I spotted at a market today. Obsessed with the distressing and apparently they’re machine washable! Sorry for the photo quality, but I only had my iPhone handy. I know…bad blogger behaviour. I will do better next time 😉

4am

written by ChristingC

Zara leather jacket, Monki top, Kate Moss for Topshop shorts, Asos boots, Zara bag, Forever 21 earrings.

Sorry for my inexcusable absence from the blog, but Taipei was far more overwhelming than expected. I have returned home with an annoying cough, sore overworked limbs, a few unwanted extra pounds, and a list of essential spots in one of my favourite cities to visit. I am unsure about how long it may take to catch up on an extreme lack of sleep, but here’s hoping it’s before the weekend. Promising a week dedicated to posting and plenty of Spring inspiration to celebrate this perfect 27 degree weather.

this is my place

written by ChristingC

Kate Moss for Topshop blouse, Topshop shorts, bag from market, and Barney’s Co-op boots.

Spent the day wandering around the city. Sometimes it’s the only way to get to know a place and break in a new pair of boots in the process. Our flights are booked for Taipei tomorrow. I’m sure it will be another messy weekend, so we’re resting up tonight.

sleep in it

written by ChristingC

I have been far more inspired by an effortless, dishevelled aesthetic lately. This may be due to our non-stop nomadic lifestyle, and the fact that I am constantly unpacking just to repack again. It’s just easier and far more exciting to throw random items together than meticulously planning immaculate looks. Comfort, being able to curl up in a plane, clothes that look almost just as good wrinkly, and pieces that aren’t blatantly obvious when worn twice are essential for a rampant traveller. I will never be one of those people who dresses up to fly, or actually uses the iron offered in the hotel closet, so the current motto is…the sloppier the better.

forced to go

written by ChristingC

Free People top and shorts, Asos boots, H&M necklace and headband.

Just a quick hello…being urged by my fellow pool party participants to put down the computer and down my whiskey (ugh) so I must depart. More tomorrow!
