We have a very special boutique in Stanley called Mademoiselle Chic, and the lady running it is exactly that–trés chic! Héloîse Mendes’ concept from two years ago has turned into a successful shop for locals looking for luxurious yet slightly used items for their wardrobes. By special appointment or on Monday and Thursday afternoon, HéloîseContinue reading Mademoiselle Chic
Date Night: Café Gray Deluxe & Posto Pubblico
Last week, Kevin took me out to dinner–on a date! It was such fun that I’ve decided it’s something for us to do at least once a month. And to get us to really actually commit to going out on a date night, I plan to blog about it. In this way I’ll be bothContinue reading Date Night: Café Gray Deluxe & Posto Pubblico
Makeup Memories and VDL
I woke up the other morning in a dreamy makeup memory. It was so wonderful. It was that time in the morning between the wakeup and going back to sleep when I half dream, half think. Anyway, I was having thoughts of being a little girl and wanting to play in my mom’s makeup whichContinue reading Makeup Memories and VDL
Big Buddha Round 2
It’s been a while since I posted an adventure in Hong Kong here on Kremb de la Kremb, and visiting the Big Buddha for the second time seems like the perfect touristy post. While Elle was here we did all sorts of touristy things: markets, hikes, beaches (she tried out surfing for the first time),Continue reading Big Buddha Round 2
Elle in HK
We have a special guest here with us for a whole five weeks! Elle arrived this last Monday on January 6th, and she’ll stay with us until February 8th. We are all so excited to have Elle in HK! She’s fitting right into our family, has moved into Gigi’s room, and is attending classes atContinue reading Elle in HK
Afternoon Tea at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong
My Saturday with Monica was beyond decadent! Monica is the food writer and founder of The Yum List; that means she has to, as in it’s mandatory for her to try, sample, taste, no experience food! Can you imagine the divinity of this? Well I did for one afternoon. It was pure bliss. Monica invitedContinue reading Afternoon Tea at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong
Packing 101: 3 Tips from Joanie
Everyone in my family wants Joanie’s help when it comes to packing. No matter what, if we are packing for a trip or packing up a house, we want our mom involved. She’s just that good! During her recent visit to Hong Kong, I took a moment to capitalize on her skills in terms of packingContinue reading Packing 101: 3 Tips from Joanie
Call Me Joanie
Here’s my mom, Joanie! She has amazing style: I’d like to attribute my love of clothing and fashion to her. She’d always get me to wear the zaniest get ups like the time I wore black bermudas with a button down and tie with loafer and knee highs. Admittedly I was a bit of herContinue reading Call Me Joanie
Packing 101: Three Nights [In Beijing]
I am lucky: I travel a fair amount because of what I do and because of living overseas. Internationally teaching has many perks, and I have really appreciated all the travel I’ve been able to do in the last 16+ years. Because of this, packing has become a bit of a science for me. InContinue reading Packing 101: Three Nights [In Beijing]
Sai Kung
This Saturday, the Passamonte family showed us a new beach in Sai Kung. Once you arrive to the reservoir, you then hike down to the beach. It was just lovely! You seriously have to pinch yourself. We brought a lunch to bbq; Paul made the most delicious ribs I have actually ever had. The dayContinue reading Sai Kung

Packing 101: Overnight [at the Auberge]
Packing can be tricky. My mom is the absolute master at packing, so along the way I’ve taken note. (She’s actually amazing to watch in action!) Plus, as a family we’ve been on the move for many years, so there are some parts of packing that I have become good at. Recently on an overnightContinue reading Packing 101: Overnight [at the Auberge]
