A Week in Modamix| Friday

For my final Modamix look, I saved the best for last, the gorgeous Angelica Floral Sheath Dress!!!
It was love at first sight and I was stoked to pack it with me, it's been a life saver for any of the fancier places we've went too. I honestly didn't pack much with me - I learned my lesson last time whilst trying to bring my stuff back home (4 luggages and 2 giant boxes shipped back).
The dress is super light, doesn't wrinkle - huge bonus in my book, and can be dressed both up and down! I've enjoyed sharing all these gorgeous Modamix pieces with ya'll be sure to check out all their pieces available here! Let me know which outfit was your favourite???

A Week in Modamix| Thursday

One of my favourite places to visit everytime I come to Hong Kong is the Jamia Mosque, it's really close to my house and it's so beautiful and peaceful no matter when I stop by (which is a nice break given how busy the streets right outside that gate are at all times). I'm also madly in love with the colour scheme in there (I'm hopeful I'll get a chance to go back and take a few more photos). I decided it would be nice to go for a little visit whilst wearing my Lyla Cold Shoulder Top from Modamix, an old floral skirt (similar here, here and here), my new fave choker, and my classic heels (old, similar here). Sorry for the repeat of shoes friends, I only brought these and my sneakers haha.

A Week in Modamix| Wednesday

Another very common thing in Hong Kong is people decked out in athletic wear most times of the day, granted, seeing as how you're constantly doing so much walking in a day it makes sense.
I've been pushing myself this trip to continuously walk to different parts of Hong Kong Island that I haven't been too before and I've been loving it! That's why last Wednesday when I went for a good 4-hour walk I decided to put on my new Leah Honeycomb Mesh Bomber from Modamix, which is definitely my most worn item from the pieces Modamix sent me (I've been wearing it every night for my night walks).

A Week in Modamix| Tuesday

One of the things I've noticed over my many trips to Hong Kong was how normal it is to be wearing business suits/business attire all the time. I thought it was pretty weird at first when I saw my Dad wearing suits and dress shoes daily (even when it was 90% humidity and 44 degrees outside), I then came to realize that this was actually quite common and learned the hard way when I was waaay underdressed for a few meetings over the Summer. This time around, I told myself I would not let that be the case and packed the Amelia Striped Crepe Top, Zara Cigarette Ankle Pants  and, Cobalt Blazer (similar here) from Modamix as my go-to business casual look! I ended up wearing this last Tuesday for a meeting and I felt super ~*profesh*~ yet, still very much me.

A Week in Modamix| Monday

I was beyond thrilled when Modamix sent me a box filled with pieces from their Resort Collection! I was even more thrilled when I found out a week later I would be heading to Hong Kong (perfect place to shoot these looks)! It felt pretty liberating not having to worry too much about what I would pack since I already had so many pieces ready to go! Over the past week, I was decked out in Modamix pieces and I can't wait to share all these looks with you all!

Last Monday I wore the stunning yet simple Aria Shirt Dress, paired with my cute lil Marc Jacobs necklace that Erica got me for Christmas and my fave heels. I did not wear the heels out since I had to walk a lot (sidenote: in Hong Kong you get so much walking done that pretty much everyone is always wearing running shoes). The dress was perfect for a nice day of exploring in Kowloon!

Stroll through the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens

I came back from Hong Kong well over a month ago and still have yet to post outfit/any photos from my trip. It's hard cause I really, really miss Hong Kong, even with its crazy humidity/unbearable heat, it feels like my second home (and soon technically will be). I finally decided to go through some photos while in NYC since my memory card is running out of space.. whoops.

I shot these closer the end of my trip when I went to the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens, which happens to be my strongest/oldest memory from HK when I was 9 (also happens to be right beside our house). Jayson and I decided to go for a nice walk and check out all the animals, this was the first place in the busy city that I didn't feel overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people (granted, it had been raining so no one was really there). I had a super fun time exploring the giant gardens, a monkey literally peed on Jayson, and it was just really peaceful being able to go on a nice long walk without having to push past people.

Food| Sala Thai in Langham Place

The weather has been really rainy and murky this past week, which has resulted in tiresome trips outside (aka my dad refusing to leave the apartment). Today was different, I'm assuming he realized we can't stay holed up in the apartment any longer. We ventured to Mong Kok once the rain stopped this morning. As soon as we arrived it started pouring so, we quickly ran into Langham Place, a giant mall with one of my new fave stores, Monki (I wish they'd come to Canada *insert praying hands emoji*). After spending a decent amount of time browsing and shopping, we decided to get something to eat.

We all agreed on getting some Thai food and ended up at Sala Thai on the 8th floor of Langham Place. Two things I really loved about this place were 1. the menus (I loved the cute newspaper menus)!!! and 2. the mason jars all the drinks came in!  I love Thai food and I've eaten at quite a few different Thai restaurants back home, I have never encountered these delicious drinks we tried; Roselle Flower Drink, Lemongrass Honey Ginger Tea, Lychee, and Tea (although it didn't look or taste like any tea we've encountered). We all we're craving noodles and decided to get a few appetizers to split amongst us. Everything came pretty quickly and overall it was really good! It ended up being about $75 Canadian and we got 4 appetizers, 4 drinks, and 4 noodles, pretty decent if you ask me! Overall, I'd definitely come back and grab some noodles!

The cute newspaper menus!!!

The tea that literally looked like carrot juice and tasted nothing like a tea we've tried before but, it was amaaazing!

Glimpse of Hong Kong

I'm heading back to Hong Kong this week till August and I thought I'd share a little glimpse of my last trip. I honestly didn't get the chance to do much while I was there and I'm hopeful that this time around will be different. I love Hong Kong, it's so far from Toronto and I love that it's ~*alive*~ 24/7, I spent most of my time with family and going on walks anywhere the mid level escalators (did I mention that, that is a thing?? I LOVE how you can go from our house down a mountain on a bunch of escalators) took me. I also realized I didn't take that many pictures, I was just too busy and constantly on the go. I'm planning on making more of an effort of capturing my fun trip this time!
