Maison Martin Margiela for H&M Review

A late review of my Maison Martin Margiela for H&M purchase.
Having lined up a few hour and in the end got nothing I wanted at the Lanvin X H&M launch last year, I was reluctant to do anything like that ever since, I even find the H&M crossover projects very annoying for the fact that a lot of people out there just want to resell everything they get and make profits.

This time at MMM for H&M, again, I tried not to think about the launch and the cute fun candy clutch they make. I went to work as usual in the morning and knocked off at 7, someone called…
“Hey I’m at H&M, they still have a loooottttt of stocks!!”
“OMGGGG!!!Can you help me get the black leather flats??I’m a size 7!!!”
“……OK I think I've got you the last pair….
“Okayyyy I’m on my way, please hold on to them, do not let anybody touch them!!!”

so I guess that was my lucky day.

It’s great to finally see a restaurant with awesome architecture/design here in town. This place is going to be BIG, making the Star-Sun-Moon Street neighborhood even more fun. I CAN’T WAIT.

People often say there are nothing in Hong Kong except malls that are built by giant developers. I say, they didn’t look far enough and they made the statement way too early. Try spending a day or two in Sheung Wan Hollywood Road/Tai Ping Shan Street, or Wan Chai Star Street neighborhood. Those areas would give you a brand-new impression of Hong Kong.

Sheung Wan; a historical area

where East meets West is best demonstrated;

where diversity in cultures is being greatly appreciated;

where cafes, art galleries and temples can all be found in one street.

A cup of good coffee is always heart-warming. 

       

I love walking around the old districts to look for the fading memories of the city.

We should show our love and support to our local stores and businesses, 

not just to protect them from vanishing and taking over by the large chain stores,

but also simply because they are good and unique.

A day on Gough Street

Sometimes we need to slow down our pace a bit,

just to feel and appreciate the greatness and peacefulness of life.
Like my interior design teacher always says, "appreciate the space itself, not the things in it."

Cafe Maison, Gough Street, Central;

a little boutique cafe that serves great pastry, coffee and cake.

Spent a few hours there just reading books, day-dreaming and enjoying the mint mocha.

Went on to join my friends at agnes b. cafe, it is located right next to Cafe Maison.
They place a rose on every table in the cafe, very romantic and french.

Me and my friend have matching purses for the day;

my Celine nano luggage, and her little Chanel flap bag. <3

I put my McQueen skull ring on her purse, aren't they just cute together?
