Sunny Side Up with a Side of Denim

The friendboy’s sister was nice enough to bring me home some skinny jean leggings from Uniqlo in New York. Went ahead and tried them on for the first time.

I felt it was great in the leg area (I have trouble with jeans being too long for my short legs). However, it was a wee bit baggy in the hip area. These jean leggings are drawstring, which I was not aware of until putting them on. In fact, it was a wee bit too big making some of the denim bunch up in front. I think after a slight altering or modification in the hip/waistline, it will be perfect! On the other hand, if I have a big lunch, it might come in handy… Hmm, let’s hope it doesn’t get to that point.

The Friendboy and I

I can't believe that it's been almost 3 years! My bestfriend, my confidant, and the one that makes me want to do my best. He's also been very supportive of me and all my most important decisions. Including (but certainly not limited to) starting this blog.

Hong Kong - October 2011

Thanks for all your love and support Bub. I mean it!

The Hong Kong Series: Fashion

Hi All! So to finish up my Hong Kong series, I've left fashion to be the cherry on top! It's funny because we decided to photograph all the locals in their oh so fashionable wear and this idea was the friendboy's! This is HK fashion through the eyes of Mr. K:

Times Square, Causeway Bay

Light scarves even when slightly humid:

Booties with ankle length knakis, short cropped blazer and bag

All guys in HK carry a manbag big or small:

...And wear very colorful shoes. They aren't ashamed of color!

A little different: White tuxedo blazer with bell-bottom flowy navy pants and a wife-beater tank underneath?:

We're not saying we were fans. We just captured the moment with all its interesting-ness. At least his lady friend was quite the classy dresser!

Subway Fashion

See, not afraid of colorful shoes:

Missing this:

This is the last time I touched one of these. And yes, that's me there in the picture, about to devour that thing. Just thought I'd share this photo with you all... again. :)

Happy Friday! Until next time. More fashion awaits!

The Hong Kong Series: An Introduction

I'm back! Adjusting to jet lag and have returned to work (maybe not the best combination). How is it that it is easier to adjust going there but not so much coming back home? I think last night was the first night that I actually slept through the night... but I think it attributes to the fact that I was awake for a full 24 hours before that...

The first morning, I woke up to see this outside our window

Victoria Harbor

We began to see the sights and take in all the colors of Hong Kong

$1 US for fresh fruit juice

Fresh fruits for juices

There's always tons of people walking around, no matter what day of the week it is. And, people in Hong Kong work Monday through Saturday!

Interesting sights from gorgeous heights

Hello, Is It Me You're Looking For?

Wow... I guess I have been on a looooong hiatus. Sorry!! I have been a bit swamped with work, family, WEDDINGS, and travel!!

I am super excited because I will be leaving for Hong Kong later on in the week and I've never been! I managed to borrow an SLR (Thanks MV!) from a friend and am anxious to get some good shots of the fashion, the food, the sites, and of course the people! I'll be going with the friendboy and his entire family... we're going to for our 7th wedding this year... and the last of them!

A friend of mine that is living out in HK at the moment says that the weather is still warm. Part of me is excited because that means less clothes to bring. Another part of me is disappointed because I really wanted to wear all my fall clothing. I <3 Fall fashion. Of all the seasons to dress for, Fall is by far my favorite. The scarves, the boots, the blazers and light coats, and the colors! Oh well, I guess that means more space in my luggage for all the goodies I'll be bringing back home!

I am told we will be eating a lot of dim sum. In Hong Kong, it's the thing to do. Here, we go grab boba drinks or sit at a coffee shop. Nope, in Hong Kong, you go eat dim sum and socialize over food!

 I am also excited for Wonton Noodle Soup. Apparently there will be a great place near by where we are staying at.

Pretty soon I'll have my own photos and not have to "borrow" other people's. You get the idea. Anyway, I also want to try these Egg Crate Waffles too!! I have had them here and they are tasty and all. But everyone always tells me that they are the ABSOLUTE best in Hong Kong and that NO where in the US makes it quite the same:

That photo above is actually from when the friendboy made ME some... fresh strawberry filled! I think his egg puff/waffle has been the best I've had so far... maybe I might be a little biased...

Anyway, I am excited (as you can see... mostly about food. If I come back a little pudgier and unrecognizable, I promise it's still me). One last photo of some HK street fashion that I can appreciate:

More to follow when I return!

P.S. If you are now craving some of the above foods mentioned. Here are a couple of recommendations in the L.A./San Gabriel Valley area:

Wonton Noodle Soup: Green Zone and Won Won Kitchen
Dim Sum (HK Style -- Made to Order): Elite Restaurant and Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant
HK Egg Puff: Tasty Garden

If only I knew enough Cantonese to say the equivalent of "Bon Apetit!" I would... anyway, enjoy!
