Pink Short-Sleeved Knit: The Vintage Top Older Than Me
Real story: the knit top is older than me and originally belonged to my mom, she tried to toss it out and I salvaged it.
Terracotta Hues: A Visit to TIL
A while ago we hit up one of the newer coffee joints on the corner, which was tiny and always packed with people save for weekday afternoons.
Shades of Grey: Staying at The St. Regis Hong Kong
If you’ve been to The St. Regis Hong Kong, you’ll know that their interiors feature deeply-veined marble and lush textures in a palette of creamy whites, warm greys and taupe.
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.

Cream Open Back Sweater: Demure with a Twist
Red taxis, breezy days, golden sunlight. Beautiful yet feels like a Hong Kong from so long ago.

Just a quick run to the Chinese New Year market down the road.
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.

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.
Camel Linen Shirt: Laidback Western Vibes
In my mind Muji has always been the queen of natural fabrics: its designs always carry timeless, minimalistic silhouettes in an array of neutral colours.
