Travelog: Hong Kong Jewels and Bags…

Finally in Hong Kong again after over 8 months of not being in the city that I once called home 🙂 It’s really good to be back!

Wonderful lunch meeting at Lily and Bloom in LKF Tower by Wyndham Street! I picked the mushrooms and vegetable plate and it was really, really good!

I’d have had another plate easily. LOL ok, I have to keep healthy. This is the season to get fat and unhealthy easily, so as much as possible I’m trying *operative word: trying* to remain attentive with what I eat. It’s so hard to shed off holiday weight (yeah, you try losing all that rhum cake you ate haha– Hard!!).

Post- lunch, I had to walk back to the hotel to get my iPhone which I left in the room (I swear, I’m getting so forgetful these days), and I managed to pass by a few shops 🙂

What do you think about getting bling for Christmas? *Want Want Want Want!!!* Ok I’m not selfish and demanding. I am not asking for the Liz Taylor- Burton diamond ring or the Taj Mahal necklace (which by the way sold for a cool US $8.8M EACH! Can you count the zeros? :D) All I want is that emerald sugarloaf ring right smack in the middle of the photo. It won’t cost a million dollars, I’m sure. LOL *Ok quick someone buy me a lottery ticket– one that’s guaranteed to win, Puh-lease!!*

And then of course I passed by Milan Station (I heard the stock of this company is doing quite well, and there are even more branches that opened in China!). And this as you see, is the reason why you can’t find any more Hermes birkins in actual Hermes boutiques *grumbles* :D.

Now I have heard so many stories about the authenticity of these birkins. I’m pretty sure they are authentic because the store has a seal of “guarantee” from a HK Government Agency and they can be reported if they sold counterfeit items. I asked about one of the Hermes Kellys in 40cm (I’ve been wanting to upgrade my blue 35cm) and it costs approximately US$20,000 for the one I wanted! *Jaw drops*. Honestly if it were up to me *and if I had the spare cash for a new Kelly*, I’d rather wait it out at Hermes. It’ll definitely be a lot cheaper, plus you get to be the first to “unbox” the bag 🙂

Anyway, the happiness had to end because I had to rush back to grab the phone, then post these photos for you all, then head on out. Here’s my parting shot.

Hope you are all well 🙂 And I hope the photos above gave you more ideas for Christmas presents… that you’d like to RECEIVE 🙂
