What I Wore: Concert Attire for the 2022 Season
Sharing my choice of concert attire for the past season, complete with clean silhouettes and diamonds.
The Scarlet Tang Cardigan I Adore Every Chinese New Year
Just me and my favourite red statement piece for Chinese New Year.
Blue Chambray Shirt: Denim’s Softer Cousin
Still confused about whether chambray is a subcategory of denim? The answer is no, but that doesn’t make them any less enticing as a spring fabric. Blue chambray shirts make fantastic capsule wardrobe pieces, as they combine the down-to-earth quality of denim with the comfort and familiarity of a lived-in shirt.
Coral Pink: Dressing Down Neon Colours with Neutrals for Spring
I have an unusual affinity for warm tones leaning towards orange. They are delightful with a raw burst of energy – everything I wish I could be in the damp spring weather.
Saint James Breton Top: Stripes of Brittany
Synonymous with seafarers, the iconic Breton shirt originated from Northern France and has since become firmly embedded in capsule wardrobes. Finding the right kind of stripe takes time, however, but I’ve finally found a contemporary piece for all my sailor dreams!
Pastel Colourblock Sweat Shorts: Loungewear Fit for the Streets
Pastel colourblocking inspired by Wes Anderson, Leonie Hanne and Ko Hyojoo.
Beige Button-Down Sweater Vest: An Easy Add-On to Winter Whites
This was a last-minute outfit I threw together and stashed into my bag without even trying it on. I often fret and overthink way too much, so this was super rare for me.
Faux Leather Pinafore Dress
When picking faux leather items, I prefer black pieces that make a statement on their own yet still allow for layering so it doesn’t appear too full-on.
Tiered Dot Mesh Skirt: Everyday Flamenco Vibes
Winters in Hong Kong are interesting. A while ago it was so cold I had to hug a hot water bottle through work; a week later it’s warm enough to break out the spring pieces already.
Checkered Frock Coat: My Love for Camel and Black
I love blazers but let’s face it, Hong Kong has a very limited window where blazers are practical to wear (not that it has curbed my desire to buy them).
Earthy Tones: Staying at the Figo
Earlier we had the opportunity to visit the Figo, a boutique hotel that is pet-friendly in Sheung Wan.
