little by little

We’re all on a journey.

Sometimes the path can get too difficult, the climb too steep.

Just look up. Ask for help from above.

Keep to the right path.

Even when it seems like the rainfall is endless.

Or our path rough…

And the trail daunting.

Remember, He’s bigger than all of us…and all of our concerns.

And later, you'll see the rain you earlier felt, turned out to be blessings.

Drex Fable

While walking through Admiralty Centre yesterday, I came upon this little boutique, so small it's easy to miss. I'm glad I went in. The store is called drex fable and their clothes are beautiful!

Not your usual, conventional designs, they sport clothes in warm tones of maroon, beige and black and grays mostly in silk and satin fabrics. The cut and construction of the clothes were different, modern and chic.

They were having a sale at the moment with dresses reduced to prices of around HK$ 400-800 which is not too bad for the unique pieces. They are somewhat similar to Initial, another HK brand, which I also like. Though I think Initial is a bit darker.

After googling them back in the office, I discovered they had a website and a blog too!Unfortunately, the blog is in chinese so I just oggled at the pictures :)

The brand was established in 2000 and the name is a play with the words "Dress Fable". Here are some pictures showcasing their current collection called "Spring Blossom" which I grabbed online. Though I wish I could take pictures of the individual pieces:

Also found out they also have shops in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kwai Fong, Shatin and Tuen Mun. Will definitely go back and check it out some more.

brother and sister

Today I learned... about "a new concept store & café at 1881 Heritage" in Tsim Sha Tsui called "brother & sister". The new establishment is the brainchild of, get this, brother and sister Gilbert Yeung (founder of dragon-I)and Cindy Yeung (Emperor Group Director).

The unique (to hong kong) store "combines Emperor's jewellery and watches, with a bar cum café, and a fashion boutique. The concept café offers a range of comfort food and morphs into a cocktail bar at night.
The shop stocks garments from Hong Kong based brand Cipher, Dolce & Gabbana, Greedy Genius and Android Homme as well as limited edition cross over brands such as Alexander McQueen for Puma. You'll also find sunglasses from Nathan Jenden as well as vintage pieces from Guy Laroche.

On top of the clothing the likes of Aesop skin car are also available, along with Cowshed bath and body products, Dosh unisex wallets and DL & Co. candles."

Definitely seems worth visiting, although I fear the food and clothes are way over my budget. For those who have no such fear though, check it out at:
