Luxirare

She is one of a kind.

She is a true talented person.

She designs ass kicking clothing and makes amazingly fine cuisine

She is LUXIRARE. 

She said: Fashion isn't just about clothing oneself. Its a dream, an escape, a fantasy.. 

The clothes on the rolling racks are all made by her except for the fur coat which is a vintage piece. Her inspiration was from the 70's Jackson 5 (subconsciously, she said..)... how hot are those shorts w/ the vintage coat??

She said: Eating shouldn't just be about eating. Its about mystery, surprise, and delight. 

Look at these little Lolipop-Pie! Grab and go, little sweet treat for yourself without having to feel guilty about. and how pretty is that avocado and crab meat salad??? The way she presents the food and the step by step tutorial just made me want to cry. How great would it be if all cook books were like this?

Thieves Market/ Flea Market?

Its no secret that I love thrift/ vintage shopping around in Hong Kong. But it is SO hard to come by a good one, because new and brand name stuff are just more appealing to the people here... there are lots of fake-vintage shops (s e l e c t 1 8 ? !) that rip you off for fake-one-of-a-kind pieces, and that's why i was SO thrilled when i found this place "King" (I don't even know if that's their actual name, because the sign says "King - electronics and miscellaneous", but since it is what it says on the sign I will just call it that) on Lok Ku Road which is one block north of Upper Lascar Row (aka Cat Street) in Mid Levels Sheung Wan.

King offers real vintage clothing, accessories, shoes, and more! If you are a vintage fan like me, I assure you that you will not be disappointed. See their piles of clothes and boxes of shoes, purse, accessories...one draw back though, it is not actually a store, it is more like a stall on the sidewalk, so be prepared for a steaming hot shopping experience. Also make sure you make a trip to the stores nearby which mostly sell antique furniture and home decorations, lotsssss of hidden gems! Oh, and you know the rule -

haggle.
haggle.
haggle.

slash 50% off from the original price and start from there. You get the idea. Yup, just like what you will do at select 18 or at Chatuchak flea market in Thailand... (Actually, for these two, you start from 70%...)


Some Fun Facts:
Many years ago, the Upper Lascar Row was well known as the place to buy stolen goods. People always say that if you had something lost, it is almost certain that you find it there for sale back. Of course it does not work this way now, but that just adds a little interesting history to it and made it even more attractive.
