Fall Dressing

The weather in Hong Kong is now at it’s most beautiful. It’s still quite warm, but the humidity seems to have disappeared. We used to be at 80% or above; now we’re down to %40 humidity. It makes such a difference. The winds truly keep shifting: there’s always such a pleasant breeze in the air accompanied with some new scent blossoming. It feels so weird to be still wearing sundresses while the trends for fall are full on; that’s why I keep returning to fall’s beautiful colors when I go to get dressed. Burnt red and yellow with grey and white play up the paisley in this open backed sundress.
I kind of like this little braid thing I did with my hair. I need to do this more often! If only I could figure out how to make the French braided crown across the side–now that would be really something! My drop pearl earrings were from a trade with my sister Julie. She wanted these silver Indian chandelier hoops I had–and wait, Julie? I think I have them back but didn’t return the trade. Do you want your earrings back? My sisters are like that with their earrings. They know I love them so much: they’ll just take them out and hand them over to me. Next up, a pair Mary gave me….
I’m always intrigued by some neat detail in clothing. The draw to this dress was the colored paisly and halter like neck, but when I saw the back slit to this dress, I loved it even more. I recently scored this funky black bikini top from ASOS, so I thought it would make for an interesting bra underneath.

Everywhere I turn in Stanley or even Hong Kong there’s yet another wall, fence, backdrop waiting for me and my photographer (Kevin was the lucky guy for this one! Or rather I’m the lucky one with three willing photographers to help me out!!). You may have noticed I try matching the setting of each shoot to my outfit. Like in this other Fall Heat post where the orange wall was brilliant or a Ferrari dealership when wearing a bright red top in California Dreaming. There’s also Hong Kong’s bright city lights to match my silver sequin shorts in Kawaii or this perfect blue wall down in Wan Chai for Lost Feather. This city is bursting with outfit photo ops! I’m not kidding!! My mind has become so creative with this new outlet I have been embracing. I feel energized and excited with every post I make. I hope you’re enjoying the energy too. Are there any outfits or settings you’d like to see. Please tell me. I will do it!
