Frumpy Look
Sometimes I just love slapping stuff together. Vintage floral, stripes, tribal, navy...bring 'em on, pile 'em up!

PS. I LOVE my new boots! They're from Bershka. So comfy, quite flattering and not expensive! LOVE!

Granny Cardigan on Boys?

Granny Cardi on SC
Poor SC. 

Granny Cardi on SC
I made him wear my granny cardi.
It's not a granny style cardi. It is really a cardi that I bought from a granny store ^_^

Granny Cardi on SC
I love how warm and comfy grandma cardis are, and I love the multicolor sheen too!

And it costs only HK$79!
What a steal!

I meant to buy this cardi for Chinese New Year, but of course I couldn't wait and decided to wear it before CNY. So typical.

Anyway,
Have a fantastic Lunar New Year, may the water dragon bring everything fantastic this year :)

...............I shot them in the wrong white balance and they were a pain in the ass to correct.

Oppps.

But if you love street and cultural photography, seafood, and need a little break from metropolitan Hong Kong, charge your camera battery, bring your favorite lens, use the correct white balance (ahem), and head to Tai O.

PS. I used Canon 7D + Canon 35mm f/2 for this trip

Here's how to get there:
Tai O Fishing Village, Lantau Island (Outlying Island)
1. Catch ferry from Central Pier 6 (MTR Hong Kong Station Exit E1. Walk through ifc mall) to Mui Wo, then bus 1 to Tai O.
or
2. MTR Tung Chung Station, then bus 11 from Tung Chung Town Centre.

When he saw a hot guy on TV with similar build to SC, he'd shout Ah Pa! (You wish, son)
He calls TV "gogor" (Canto for big bro), because he's seen some boy bands singing on TV.
He can point remote controller to the right direction and he'd be very happy if he could press some buttons which affects what's happening on TV.
In short, he's getting so big!

And I love this el cheapo hat that I bought for SC, which is a not-so-secret code for "I bought it for myself". Heheheh.

Another fantastic thing, my perpetual bad hair day is slowly leaving me. Bye byeeeee, I won't miss you at all! Don't ever come back!

Here are some lazy outfits from the holidays...mostly of baby M, because mama & papa didn't change out of pajamas & chunky sweater....
Uniqlo Fleece Jacket, SSP wool turtleneck
SC in old Uniqlo fleece jacket & adidas stretchy pants; baby M in el cheapo but super soft and cute turtleneck sweater from Sham Shui Po, fluffy pants and leggings and socks (grandma always insists that we don't make baby M wear enough clothes heheheh).

H&M hat & grandpa cardigan
Baby M in H&M hat and grandpa cardi.

Bunny Hoodie
Baby M in H&M baby girl hoodies with cute bunny ears.

Now make me jealous with all your glamorous holiday outfits...I have a box of tissues to wipe my tears at the ready :D
