ART CENTRAL 2016 | HONG KONG ART MONTH | STEPHANIE SO

Definitely a long overdue post on this blog and my visit to Art Central:

So, let's start with a bit of a life update. Life is ok, good, as usual. I finished my exams and officially graduated from high secondary school. It's been about 2 weeks but I don't think everything has really sunk in. The fact that I have left a place where I spent 5 years studying abroad is a bit strange; I think everything happened a bit too fast in the midst of exams, packing and writing thank you cards/ letters.

Anyways, as I am typing this post I am currently in Osaka, Japan, starting my very first summer holiday trip. I've only been to Japan once and never been to Osaka so this trip is definitely something to remember. I have quite a lot of content prepared and will be on its way to this blog in the coming few weeks! I will be updating this blog more frequently now since it's the Summer holiday so keep your eyes peeled!

Life update checked. Onto another topic.

I've always wanted to visit Art Basel/ Central (just to see what it's about) but they always happened during dates where I was not in Hong Kong. This year, however, I was on time to make it to both of the events so of course, I was very excited. I decided to go to Art Central instead - it was easier to get tickets plus they had plenty of activities going on. Definitely worth a go!

As always, thanks for reading!

FABRIC AND TRIMMINGS MARKET IN HONG KONG | SHAM SHUI PO | STEPHANIE SO

For everyone who's into sewing, haberdashery, garment making and DIY projects, Sham Shui Po is your go-to place. Not only can you buy yards and yards of fabrics, trimmings and beads, but it is also great if you are on a hunt for vintage clothing, electronics and random bits and pieces. As a Fashion student, I frequent this area often to source for materials I need for my next project! I usually spend a good few hours here, tracking down for the best selection and prices. (depending on how much you're buying, you can sometimes bargain too!)

Thanks for reading guys!

CHANGING OF THE SEASONS #OOTD | STEPHANIE SO

I've always been scared and somewhat skeptical of changes. Perhaps it's the unknown of what it will bring that I fear of. When I started this blog as a creative outlet 2 years ago, I had no idea that today, I will still be blogging and would love to eventually pursue this full-time (still a long way to go though!). It is something that I love and enjoy passionately (I know this word is overused but anyways) and who knows, perhaps this is something that I will still be doing in the future.

Thanks for reading guys!

Happy Sunday everyone! Is it just me of this weekend whizzed by (where did all my time go?!!). I never like feeling *too hot* or *too cold*, so during the Winter layering for me is an essential. A few weeks ago I went to Guangzhou as you may have noticed on my Instagram (THANK YOU TO WHOEVER INVENTED VPN. THANK YOU.) and here are a few outfit snaps I took. Enjoy!

Surprise!! Some BTS of my OOTD post. Don't forget to enjoy the process and have fun always people!!

GUANGZHOU PHOTO + VIDEO DIARY | STEPHANIE SO

School has officially started for me and of course I'm shifting my priorities a little bit. I missed last week's post because you know, I have to take some time off and enjoy my last week of summer. Not to mention that I'm lacking so much creative juices and motivation right now it's actually getting a bit depressing (oh man). Three-hundred-and-something more days until Summer.

 For me, Summer is always the perfect excuse/ reason for travelling because 1.) it's kind of like a family tradition to go somewhere during the summer 2.) you can see and learn so much.

I first went to Guangzhou for a very short 3 days, but our schedule was so fully packed- it involved apartment hunting, shopping (not really), eating, seeing architectures, sweating buckets (believe me it was so hot) oh and waking up early- yeah, half-nine is pretty early for a person like me. Eating dim-sum was of course obligatory so we had a few lunches dedicated on those, and being a fashion-y student I had to visit Zaha Hadid's Guangzhou Opera House.

I posted a Travel Diary on my YouTube not long ago, I mean if you're too lazy to scroll down and see my photos you could just press play below ;)
