A week of celebrations gone by in a blink of an eye. Eating, drinking and making merry is surely taking it's toll on me now. The waistline is expanding and I am feeling exhausted.
This week has also seen a surge in temperatures and whilst trying to keep the festive Chinese New Year mood going, I decided to pair this lovely chinese style top with a pair of embroidered skorts so I can still look the part and yet keep cool.
If Chinese New Year is not about being loud and gaudy, then we would not be feeling the mood that much. So I paired this outfit with my pom pom sandals just to up the notch.

Another year has come and gone and welcome, welcome the Year of the Dog! As many of you would have known, I am a big dog lover and have rescued dogs in Hong Kong whilst we were living there recently. We even adopted and brought one back with me. Good news - out of the 4 that we had rescued, 3 have found permanent and loving homes as of today! So you see, it just takes a little patience and effort.
So in line with tradition, I got this pretty cheongsam ( chinese dress) from .... ( drumroll)... you won't believe it... my favourite supermarket! Seriously it's your run of the mill supermarket pretty much like Costco and Publix in the states or Tesco and Asda in the UK and I chanced upon this beautiful maroon number at a great deal! I had to rock it for the new year!
Fashion need not be expensive designer wear - it's how you style and wear it.
So here's wishing all of you Gong Xi Fa Cai // Gong Hei Fatt Choy// Happy Chinese New Year!
