Hello Again

Hello my dear readers! It’s been a while since I last updated my blog, but mizzshopaholic is back and promise to be better than before. (I know I’ve said that before, but, in life, one should just keep trying, right?!) I guess I should explain the reason for being away and if you look at the below screenshot of my Facebook wall post, it will tell you why. Haha! Yes!! mizzshopaholic, moi, is officially in a relationship. A total of 47 likes on the profile update. Gee, really?! Were you guys worried that I was unwanted or something? But of course, I’m overjoyed with their enthusiasm and affection. Sincerely, thank you everyone! Finger crossed, let’s hope for the best! ;p Now, with my birthday in October and all the fabulous parties and events that took place last month, you see why my schedule went a bit haywire? So before I catch up on all the blog posts I’ve missed, here is something I got from my Hunny that I wanted to share with you all – Hello Kitty flower arrangement from Yume Flower Market, a licensed Sanrio florist that makes adorable flower arrangements like the one pictured above . How ’bout that?

Main St. Deli at The Langham Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui

Taste the Big Apple

Main St. Deli at Langham Hong Kong Hotel Tsim Sha Tsui So it was Sunday and everywhere was jam-packed with families and tourists when my girlfriend and I tried to secure a spot in the afternoon to grab a bite between our shopping trips. The initial plan was to go for high tea at one of those famous hotels so that I can blog about it but advance bookings are no longer available for many of them and we were horrified by the long queues. So thanks to my friend, she recommended the Main St. Deli at the Langham Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui. What a delight?! No queues, practically empty, there was only one or two other tables. Aww finally… some peace and quiet, just the way I like it. I also love the girly decor with hints of lilac and emerald, and those amazing chandeliers that you don’t typically see in any diner. The New York style deli serves all the favourites of the Big Apple such as Reuben sandwiches, pastrami on rye, bagels, hot corned beef and chicken soup with matzoh balls. Just look at the scrumptious Salmon Club sandwich that I tried in the photos below and tell me if it doesn’t make your mouth water!! Chunky, succulent grilled salmon fillet on a triple decker homemade brioche bread. Simply incredible! Simply delicious!

DIY home decorating ideas from Bromeliadliving.com

Wall of Fame

It’s been a while since I did a blog post on home and living, so here’s one for you. I was going through my inbox and remember this email from my stylist friend, subjected ‘Thought of You’, that she has sent to me following an incident where she came to my home and tried to borrow some shopping bags from me for a fashion shoot. Being known as the shopaholic, it’s unavoidable that I’m the best person to ask for used shopping bags. So as she was going through my pile of collectibles, she pulled this blue one up and asked me if it’s okay to take it. She was looking for shopping bags in blue, and funny enough, the only blue one I have is this Vivienne Westwood one, pictured below, that I got from the designer’s world tour exhibition in 2008. I hesitated in replying my friend so she asked me again, ‘I didn’t know you collect shopping bags too?’. ‘Well, I guess I do?!’ I told her. Going through my pile of shopping bags, there are ones that I really would rather not share – sorry to say. I guess that’s why they managed to stay there all these time. I think some of the shopping bags, such as the ones from a memorable event or ones that will not be reproduced again, are worth keeping although I didn’t know what to do with them again. Just like my YSL manifesto tote bag and lookbook that’s still sitting under my desk. Am I a little odd? Now, my friend’s idea is great, not only can I make use of them to decorate my home and get to look at them all the time, it’ll keep them from getting wrinkly too. Another DIY project up the pipeline for me! Check out the Bromeliadliving.com for more delightful DIY ideas for your home or for your fashion.
