Chanel campaign on tatami mats

I always cringe when people wear shoes on tatami mats, but what can you do when it's Karl Lagerfeld. From 2013 spring summer collection.



I like the furniture in here. The line is really clean. It goes nicely with the splash of color from the accessory items.

New jeans from J Brand


I get a surge of adrenaline when Lane Crawford goes on sale. And then, I can't stop buying every other day, from a different branch of Lane Crawford. These pants above are from Lane Crawford at IFC. I got another pair yesterday too, from the LAB at Admiralty which is a sister brand of Lane Crawford. They have to stop the sale, otherwise, I will own every single color of whatever pants that fit me...

It's hard to see but the dark blue pants is from J Brand. They fit really well. The lighter star strutted jeans are a French brand (I think). I can't wait to wear them regularly. Shopping makes me look so forward to vacations.

Alpaca snood is done now



My alpaca snood is now done. It looks much smaller than the first one I made... I wonder if the structure is more elastic? In anycase, I am happy with this one too!

Swarm of fish on Starbucks


From Ocean Park's most unrelaxing aquarium in the world.

Giant whipped drink from Quinary HK

This is a relatively new place in Hong Kong, just around my apartment on Hollywood Road. Unlike many bars around here that come but leave fairly quickly, this one always has people inside. It was featured in FIGARO Japan too, so I always wanted to try. One should always make it a habit to go out on a Wednesday night!

Dark gray alpaca x navy blue wool



 My next project is another snood or scarf mixing gray alpaca x navy blue wool with a hint of mohair. I've focused so much today, I think I'm already half way... All I need is colder weather to appreciate it!

Snood

I'm knitting again. This time I used two strands of mohair and thicker sticks which I picked up in Sweden ... and now it's done!!

Finger dolls

Aren't they absolutely adorable!? Found in a store on Strandvägen by the water in Stockholm.
