SOURiS DECOR on Peel Street

SOURiS DECOR is a furniture shop on Peel Street, and will soon be moving, in December. Apparently Peel Street is raising its rent by double. It's too bad that these good looking shops have to move, and only bars and mediocre but profitable shops come (and will go) instead...

I post here some of my favorite pieces, which if I had any space in my apartment at all, I will buy immediately. It's really reasonable, and looks mostly handcrafted in Indonesia and well made.

Bakery breakfast and Peel Street

This morning, I had to wake up early to make it to an 11am appointment for eyelash perm. On the way back, I picked up bread at a nearby really local bakery (on Gage Street, near Peel Street) and stopped by the furniture store SOURIS that's on my street. I was shocked to hear that they have to move because the rent is being doubled on Peel Street. I dearly hope they find another shop nearby...

Anyway, here is my breakfast at proper Punta Del Este time (1pm).

Punta Del Este

I found an old photo from a trip to Punta Del Este in Uruguay. I went there for new years' eve several years ago. The decadence of repeatedly waking at noon, going to the beach to nap, having lunch at 5pm, dinner at 11pm, and going out afterwards... I so wish I were there now, because this week was monumentally exhausting!

More shoes from Rabbit HK

 

I diligently bought Rabbit shoes again. This time, a very easy to wear camel flats and a pair of gray man shoes that look completely out of style. They are both extremely comfortable, and hopefully they can become my shoes on the airplane.

I completely ruined the previous white ones from my previous purchase, and had to abandon them in Stockholm. But they served me well, standing strong against the cobblestones and sometimes mountain hikes in northern Europe.

Rabbit now has 9 branches all over Hong Kong. I will list here a few.

Shop 209B-210, L2, Plaza Hollywood, Diamond Hill
Shop G15, G/F, Gala Place, Mong Kok
Shop 862, UG/F, Island Beverley, Causeway Bay
OUTLET: Shop S09a, L1, LCX Fashion Walk, Causeway Bay

I want a CHANEL jacket

I was shocked to find out that a CHANEL jacket actually costs about $5,000. I was eyeing to get one this year, and I had thought that I can get one for less than half of that... perhaps I should go for a second hand...

I also wonder whether the process of buying is fun. I just want to get it, rather than enjoy the moment of going to the shop and being treated nicely etc., which I'm sure is part of the value you pay.

But if it's like eating a $700 steak in Ginza, I know that the experience is fun. Or if it involves traveling to Paris, that should be fun too.

Anyway, these are what I am interested in right now... any other recommendations are most welcome. Moreover, ideas on where I can get them are most welcome too.
