Life, Lately. Still in Pink

The shades and tints of pink always attract my sense of sight, be it in fashion items - clothing, shoes, bags, accessories - or housewares and home decorations.  This post is an actual update of my life now.  Something has changed, and it is quite enormous according to my judgment.  I have even opened a new blog for this change.  Well anyway,  despite the changes I am facing, what remains fixed is my unwavering magnetism to the PINK hue. Here are some of my photos for the past three months and the kawaii home decorations, with touches of pinks, that I have arranged in our new humble abode.

My outfits in this post were reflections of the winter season as it was actually winter time when we arrived at our new location.

What I Wore to America

I had the best chance to step my foot, for the very first time, on the land of the free and the home of the brave - United States of America.  And I was there for one month and have experienced a number of firsts in my lifetime.

But right now, I am sharing some of my #OOTD  during this trip.  You might see that there are less than 30 outfits since I was not at all times keen to take snapshots of what I wore. 

 I was very challenged during preparing my clothes for the month-long trip.  I had to pack wisely and still made sure that my personal style is not sacrificed considering I am only given 56 kg of baggage allowance.  And I was also ready to take on another challenge of mixing and matching only a number of wearable pieces for a 32-day, inexact, of work and vacation trip and with a weather that my body is not accustomed to.  It was the end of fall season and the opening of spring that time.

Let's start off with my outfits in CALIFORNIA, U.S.A, where I spent 8 days in this state.

Day 1 -

 arrived in Anaheim, California and had lunch right after we checked in Knott's Berry Farm  Hotel

What I wore in Los Angeles, California:

 This is what I wore when we were brought to Universal Studios in L.A. by my officemate's aunt.  My first time in Universal Studios, another of my "firsts" experience since I have not even gone yet to Universal Studios in Singapore.

This photo was taken in one of the alleys in Rodeo Drive.

What I Wore in San Francisco, California:

The remaining days of my trip in the U.S.A. were spent in the state of Georgia.  I had to be there to be with my sister in preparation for her wedding, and of course to be her Matron of Honor on her most awaited big day.

Below are photos of some of my outfits in Woodstock, Georgia:

 The picture above was taken on the first day of Spring 2016 in the U.S.A.  It was my first time to welcome the first day of any spring season - another first in my lifetime.

 This is what I wore during the first tea party that I attended, another first in my list!  It was the birthday of my sister's sister-in-law.  Me, looking prim and proper for an all-female party.

 This is what I wore during the Easter Sunday Mass in the Roman Catholic Church in Woodstock.  Another first on my list - first time to celebrate Easter in another country.

Wore this heavy knit for a cold day shopping tour around Woodstock, Georgia

Preppy look for some shopping at The Outlets in Atlanta

"howdy-rowdy" inspired outfit for a stroll and sightseeing at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

 My Pink and Blue ensemble at the Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, Georgia:, see photo below

My next series of post will probably be about my trip in America, do look forward to it.  I am really excited to share the places I have gone to and the varied experiences I had in America.

i Travel - Hong Kong 2015

This travel diary is so last year.  Hope you enjoy the photos I am posting.  Let these photos entice you to plan a trip to discover and explore the world-class lifestlye of Hong Kong, where east meets the west.

 It was almost lunch time after we checked in at Silka Seaview Hotel in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong.  The first stop in our day 1 itinerary was to have lunch at Hello Kitty Chinese Cuisine.

 And so we were successful in discovering the Hello Kitty Chinese Cuisine, we did have a healthy full meal at the themed restaurant.  

You can see the feature HERE in my food blog.

 Next in the list, was SNOOPY'S WORLD.  But to get there, we must enter through Sha Tin New Town Plaza Shopping Mall.  

So happy to have finally found SNOOPY's WORLD!

Opened in 2000, Snoopy’s World (or sometimes also referred as Snoopyland) is situated on the third floor of the Sha Tin New Town Plaza Shopping Mall.  

 What was great about this attraction was the FREE ADMISSION!  So if you love Snoopy and his friends, better be sure to explore this themed attraction when you visit Hong Kong.

Click the link HERE to see more photos of Snoopy's World.

Going to and fro Snoopy's World is by the MTR railway system of Hong Kong.  It is rather the most convenient and most affordable and fastest mode of transportation both for tourists and the locals travelling around Hong Kong group of islands.

Next in the list was the Tsim Sha Tsui area, where a number of tourist attractions are situated.

 I always love capturing the double-deck buses of Hong Kong,  I especially love the matte gold colored buses.

 Endless constructions in Hong Kong, as seen behind the focal point of my photos.  See below how cleanly they covered the unsightly appearance of some ground constructions.

Hong Kong is a fashion haven.  

So the people in Hong Kong do know how to embrace fashion.

 Despite being able to have set my foot on this same ground and background several times, I still want to take my photograph here during my every visit in Hong Kong.

 The famous statue of Bruce Lee in the Avenue of the Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui.

 This is my form of selfie.

When in Hong Kong, you should never go to bed early.  Life still goes on, more hyperactively, at night in the streets and shopping districts of Hong Kong.

 Ladies Market in Mongkok.  This is one of my favorite shopping destinations in the city since there is this one particular stall there that sells uber affordable but trendy and stylish clothing for female market.

 We enjoyed playing with the kittens in Cafe de Kitten.

 A Japanese dinner in Hong Kong.  See more about it HERE from my food blog.

This is the main reason why I travelled to Hong Kong last year.

Photos taken at Hong Kong International Airport (T1).

See you next time, Hong Kong.
