This last weekend Hong Kong celebrated Mid Autumn Festival plus the city prepared for what was supposed to be its largest storm of the year. Luckily on Sunday evening as Typhoon Usagi was approaching Hong Kong it shifted north therefore diverting us. The upcoming typhoon didn’t stop us from visiting Big Wave Bay Beach onContinue reading Big Wave Bay
I love the beach! I just love it. I feel so extremely lucky to live 10 minutes away from this one. In Hong Kong, especially on the south side, one can get to whatever kind of beach they’re hoping for–in minutes. There’s one with huge waves (Big Wave Bay) and there’s another one with tonsContinue reading Sundowner
Fall Heat Jewellery: Coral earrings (similar) // Turquoise Necklace (similar) // Coral Necklace (similar) // Ganesha pendant (many options here) // Layered crosses Fall in Hong Kong won’t arrive until it’s actually winter everywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s not that Hong Kong skips fall; we will get one. It’s just that while it’sContinue reading Fall Heat
I’ve been trying to shop in my own closet lately. It’s a great way to save money obviously, yet it also feels like a smart way of helping out the environment in one small, little way. Granted, I am a total shopper–there’s no two ways about it! That’s something that will never change. But, tryingContinue reading Redress
What a blast! Vogue Fashion Night Out was AMAZING! I found out about it at the last minute, but with some supportive nudging from the super HK fashion blogger, Jasmine Smith, I ventured out on my own. And I’m so glad I did! I think I started reading Vogue in about 7th grade. Sure IContinue reading Vogue Fashion Night Out
On Sunday this last weekend we went to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum down at the Star Ferry Terminal in Central with Cork, Sally, and Little Guy. It was a very well put together museum and very interesting, but that’s not the subject of this post: Zara is. Afterwards when we were about to catchContinue reading Zara in 5
It’s just about the end of August. Fall is approaching, and with that the weather will change. Luckily it will take a bit of time for Hong Kong to get chillier, but eventually it will. I hopped onto Extragr.am (that’s my favorite web site for browsing Instagram online) and strolled through some of my pastContinue reading Fashion Collages
I was so bummed when I went to put on one of my most favorite pairs of earrings to match this dress, one of the feather’s was broken. I didn’t let that stop me though. I put the one feather in my extra double pierced ear and wore it 80s style solo. I got theseContinue reading Lost Feather
After wearing this JUMPsuit to school last Friday, I really did want to jump for joy! Let’s just say, without going into too much detail, that while I loved my first year in Hong Kong, my first year in the high school library at HKIS was probably my toughest teaching year yet. So when oneContinue reading JUMP!
Before the summer ends (officially tomorrow with the first day of school), I thought I’d get this post up. It looks like I wasn’t the only one enjoying the Zara skort this summer. Here I rounded up a few of my favorite fashion bloggers’ take on this super summer essential from Zara (it might still beContinue reading The Zara Skort
Again, we drew out of the Hong Kong jar this summer, and a night away was pulled. While we had intended on going to Macau, it was seeming overly crowded to us, so instead we opted for a new “inn” that had opened in Discovery Bay this last March. The Auberge is beautiful! It was worthContinue reading A Night at the Auberge
One of the things I truly find so amazing about Hong Kong is that both sides, north and south, are both jungles. One, the south side where I live, is all natural with sandy beaches winding the way, islands sparkling in the sea, and steep green mountains filled with trails for hiking. Then, simply cruiseContinue reading It’s a Jungle Out There!
