Black Out


One main reason why I went to Hong Kong the other week was to attend my aunt's wedding. We were all very excited, and getting to dress up is always a huge plus!

Wedding taboos say that the guests are forbidden to wear anything white or black. But not for this one, we were allowed to wear black. So, of course, that's what I wore; you can never go wrong with it!




A high waisted below-the-knee skirt was the way to go. And a cute match to this was a plain black cropped top. Finished with a pair of black heels.

Pretty boring? I'm not yet done! Tied my hair up in a slicked-back ponytail. This emphasised the layered statement necklace I had on, and gave the look that 'bang' I needed! 






It was a day full of tears, laughter and joy. Weddings are always so beautiful, I can't help but shed a tear. Congratulations to the happy couple!!!

HKG


Last weekend was spent in Hong Kong; glad that I got to see my family and eat great food!! YUM! Love how diverse the cuisine is, but Chinese food will always be comfort food!

Coming from school, I took the 5 AM flight from Manila. The only sleep I got was an hour nap on the plane (zombie mode: ON). Lol!

We didn't have an itinerary for the day; just took the MTR to Central and decided from there. Had some Yoshinoya (also one of my favourites - a must!) for lunch and we were ready to explore and discover new things!




Holly Brown is a great dessert shop; you can make your own ice cream concoction or have some coffee. Speaking of.. another cute cafe is the Cupping Room. Make sure you don't visit too late because it closes at 5 PM. You can find it along the same street, Queen's Road Central, as Holly Brown. 




We went further up, reaching SoHo - take the Central to Mid-Levels escalator. There we discovered a lot more stores. If you're ever in Hong Kong, make sure you visit Central. Just walk around, and you'll be in for a treat! From bakeries to cafes to shopping, you can find everything there!
