CALIFORNIA DREAMING

I love living in California. The past decade has been just the best. The vastness and immensity of beauty is just infinite. From the depths of cliffs and oceans of Nor Cal- Big Sur, Napa, Sonoma Russian River Valleys to the flatter Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego which comprises Southern California.

Tomorrow, i'll be back in California for the Christmas Holidays. First stop, San Francisco, second stop Napa.. Third stop, Big Sur. Then we make our way to Los Angeles. and after the New Year.. New York.

It's been almost 2 years since i have been to Nor Cal- Napa, Big Sur and San Fran.


I was in L.A last Christmas too. It's where i call home.


Merry Christmas everyone, will keep you posted with new photos of my travels.

For now, these are pictures from when i was last in Nor Cal.

Groundworks Coffee Los Angeles

Groundworks Coffee is a fair trade organic coffee supplier, retailer and coffee shop based mostly in West side Los Angeles. Besides the coffee tasting exceptionally good, and uber-delicious, it's a great place to kick back and chatty catty with the local Venice residents. Check out their lovely Cafe in Venice , on 671 Rose Ave. West of Lincoln.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

LOVE HK. Ive been there like just a mere 30 times in the last 6 years. An average of 5 times per year. I just always have the best time when im over there. I may as well have left my heart in HK. The shopping is always exceptional. I frequent Joyce warehouse in Ap Lei Chau, an area where the grass is greener and the air is cleaner in HK. They also have the Lane Crawford warehouse there. ANd trust me, Fashionistas and shoppaholics, this will be your second home.

Food is great in HK. I was brought over by some amazing hosts, my usual host in HK to Stanley to have our fair share of the freshest oysters and sangria ever. With the serene scenery in the Stanley area, you feel like you're in the South of France. Good , refreshing change from the bustle of HK.


I also went to check out the christies auction for jewels in the HK convention center in Wan Chai. And i thoroughly enjoyed it. The exhilaration of auctions, thrill me. And, the amount of money and beautiful pieces of rare and collectibles fill the air. My favorite was a unicorn brooch by Japanese designer,Mitsuo Kaji .

Overall, nice trip. Nice hotel at Lanson place right in the heart of Causeway Bay.


I shall miss my friends there, till i'm in HK next time. Which is probably VERY soon.


until then guys, Magikal Starbursts of love.
