out of the closet: the shopping uniform

 My shopping uniform when in Asia is pretty predictable. When you don’t plan on checking in any baggage, my solution is stay monochromatic. In my case B&W. That’s the only way I can pack without thinking. And since cardio-shopping in Hong Kong is the Olympics of all shopping, comfortable flat sandals is a must. Plus, I don’t really care that my shopping outfits are boring, they walk too fast over here to even notice !

Outfit A:

  1. chiffon top: Koton
  2. shorts: Zara
  3. sandals: Chanel
  4. bag: Chloé

Waiting to fuel up with dim sum and Tsing Tao beer at the hotel restaurant before braving the heat and the haggling marathon.

Outfit B:

  1. silk shirt: Equipment
  2. shorts: Zara
  3. sandals: Chanel
  4. bag: Chloé
  5. aviators: Nina Ricci

Riding the star ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui to Hong Kong Central. Uhmm. I don’t know that guy behind me, but he looks just as confused as I am when I’m working with my camera.

Have a great week! xx

My infatuations for this month

A list of my little treasures in April.

I love wearing aviators. This mirror-effect pair from Nina Ricci is my latest favorite. I don’t think this will ever leave my travel bag.

I bought this Dior Rosy Glow awakening blush when it first came out a couple of months ago. Again, I bought it only because I’m a sucker for pretty packaging. I recently just started using it and it’s the perfect pink flush for this humid weather. It does make you glow. Promise.

I bought this Bungalow No. 9 diffuser set in Bamboo and Orange blossom for my condo 8 months ago. I was so surprised when I got back how it still smelled so fresh and new. I had to re-stock, I am obsessed with this scent.

I found this monogrammed linen tissue holder and I had to get it. Who knew reaching for Kleenex can be this dramatic/chauvinistic? :)

I’ve never been a fan of Chanel foundations until I came across this one. This formula, Chanel PERFECTION LUMIÈRE is perfect for summer. It leaves a silky, powdery finish. I have oily skin and I swear, my skin stayed matte for 7 hours  and it was the hottest day ever recorded (in this part of the world) when I had it on.

What were your little treasures this month? xx
