By sha in what i'm wearing


top: monki, shorts: izzue, flats: repetto x comme des garcon, bag: costume national, necklace: nanz workshop

This year for Easter break, Hong Kong got a WELL DESERVED five-day weekend off. I’m telling you we get ALOT of public holidays here, but I guess it kind of balances out the intense must-work-overtime mindset we also seem to have. But uh, yeah…I could definitely get used to three-day work weeks.

On the last day of holiday, we went down to Sai Kung, which used be an old school fishing village. Fishermen sell their fresh catch by the pier to buyers who just kinda shout what and how much they want from above. Besides buying straight up from the fishermen there are a ton of seafood restaurants in the area, which are mostly catered to tourists really. (But they REALLY know their seafood, so I’d recommend going at least once if you ever visit)


whispering sweet nothings in my ear

During the week we also puppy-sat the worst puppy EVER. Albeit super cute (note her floppy ears!!), she was a serious peeing and pooing machine. And of course King Obi (FTW!!) didn’t approve and tried to attack her every chance he got, om nom nom.

Last night I finally got around to doing a DIY, mainly because I had to occupy myself while Pooey studied all things awesome about dentistry. yuck. I’d say it’s still kind of a work in progress since the edges sometimes decide to unravel themselves spontaneously. But overall, I’m quite satisfied :D

I’m also going to start adding links to my page so email me if you want me to link you :)
