I underestimated the cold weather in Hong Kong during the holidays last December and brought only a few thick clothes with me. I thought I could survive layering light clothes. Boy was I wrong!
After a few days in the city, I couldn’t bare it any longer so I had to find ways to keep warm. My solution? Wear the new clothes I just bought and pray to dear God they match the ones I brought from home. So which are the newbies? My buttondown, sweater and coat were all bought just a day before. Talk about spontaneous styling! It’s a good thing they match my houndstooth skirt from Choies quite well. I really wanted to wear this skirt. I find it so pretty with the little overlaps on it.
I think it’s safe to say that the overall theme here are bold contrasts–not just in prints but in colors as well. This is useful when traveling with a group, you know. At least my family can easily spot me when they get tired of waiting for me inside a store. LOL!

H&M cap
Choies skirt
Celine bag
Celine seriously makes the best travel-friendly small bags. They look like they can’t store anything but they can actually pack a lot!
Zara shoes
H&M white buttondown shirt, striped sweater and tweed jacket

Haha!

Wow, you’re really good at mixing prints and color-blocking! I really wouldn’t have though of mixing ALL of those. I’m a bit scared :(
Thanks Mary!
That’s what I’ve always wondered about HK – people say it’s cold, but it never -looks- as cold as they say? Or maybe that’s because I’m used to growing up to winters of snow, haha. I love how great all the prints look together and the casual feel to this look. Thanks for sharing! (:
Thanks Krys! :) HK is definitely a piece of cake for you if you’re used to snow :)
how lovely the prints u’ve mixed. before i dont used to wear tweed jackets, because i thought the cloth is itchy,but when i saw you wearing those i started wearing it and i was wrong, i love tweed jackets already, it really suits in my work (callcenter) hehe, coz its always cold. hehe. thanks for inspiring me! :)
Awww you’re welcome :) I’m touched!
pwede nang model ng h&m
Naks! Thanks MK!

Thanks Laura!
I have a question not really related to the post but related to shopping:
do you buy your designer bags online or offline (lol), [I mean you visit the actual store]?
if you buy it online, what online stores would you recommend? (the ones you had actually purchased)
I’ve never tried online :)
love this look so much!
Thanks Bernadette!
Camille, may I know how often do you charge your new iphone 5? Mine kasi gets low batt easily eh. I charge it everyday tuloy. So sad. I expected that it will have a longer battery life.
I haven’t used it yet :)

I must say, all your HK outfit posts are way toooo awesome for words! I love all of them! <3 Then again, come to think of it, there isn't any outfit of yours that I don't like. Your styling is the best, Camille! <3
I'm enjoying all the pretty colors in this outfit and I'm super amazed with the way you layered everything! Looks super cohesive and chic. Sorry if I keep on gushing but everything's just way too pretty! :)

Wow. such a resourceful blogger you are, Ms. Camille! You know exactly what to do when you go SOS when it comes to outfit.
I’m so excited that you’re again featured on my favorite show- Etcetera, along with Ms. Laureen and Ms . Tricia!! I swear, I was so ecstatic when I saw the trailer of the brand new episode of etcetera. Yee!
Yay! Thanks Joreina!
I love the chic and different design your skirt has! How I wish we had the same weather here as HK! Winter clothing is always a bliss to layer and style :”) On a brighter note, I heard H&M is coming to Manila soon! :D
That’s been the rumor for the longest time! :)
I love it! :)))) #itsmyfirsttimetocomment hihi

Sometimes haha! :) Thanks Leslie!

Thanks Felyn! :)
Nice outfit!! :) :D BTW Quick question. You usually buy clothes online right? What do you do if they don’t fit your perfectly? You get it altered right away? :D
Sometimes :)
I have a dilema whenever i like a certain piece i end up buying a whole outfit from head to toe just to match that piece..i just love how you throw everything in and they eventually go well together..that’s what you call talent ;)
Thanks Inca! :)
Grabe~! ^^ If a person who’s good at tending plants is called a Green Thumb, ikaw naman you’re a Print Thumb kasi good ka with prints! hahaha Ang galing mo when it comes to mixing prints! I really learned a lot from you! :) Magic talaga! hehe. Parang modern version ni Nancy Drew and peg mo jan! Haaay… Sana yung weather dito sa Pinas katulad sa HK… :)
