Hong Kong Adventures

Nǐ hǎo, my friends!

Almost my last destination in Asia. Time flies when you’re having fun! Hong Kong is definitely a must-visit. Here are some facts about this amazing city:

Did you know

1.    That Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world! They have more than 2000 of them. That’s more than New York, which only has half of the amount.

2.    That Hong Kong is not just a city, it consists of different islands.

3.    That there are special restaurants just for dessert? People in Hong Kong looooove dessert.

4.    Hong Kong is the city with the most Rolls Royces. Maybe I’ll spot a couple!

5.    Hong Kong has more than 7 million residents!

I think I’m going to take a hike on The Peak to enjoy the beautiful skyline everyone is talking about.

See you next week!

Rice with sticks in China

Hi there!

I arrived in China, one of the last countries I’ll visit in Asia. I’m a little sad I’ll have to leave Asia soon, but still excited about China! I’m wearing a jacket as a kimono today. Do you like it?

It was on my bucket list to eat rice with sticks in China, for a long time already. So first things first: I’ll have some delicious rice at lunch.

Did you know that in the Chinese Datang District (better known as ‘Sock City’) yearly over 8 billion socks are produced? That’s a lot! So I guess you’re maybe wearing some socks from Sock City at the moment!

I’m going to decide where to eat.

Have a great day, folks!

Cruising the Philippines

Hi guys!

I’ve never sailed a boat before, so this was a major item on my bucketlist. I heard the Philippines are the perfect place to sail, so I paid a visit to these beautiful islands. There are a lot of sailing contests held in the Philippines. I’ll just have to practice a little more before I can enter a contest, I guess. But for now I’m just enjoying the quiet and peace of the waves.

For this occasion I'm wearing my Mickey Sailing outfit. (PN-0168798 Kathy Navy) I definitely need the scarf and hat to protect me from the wind.

Did you ever go sailing before?

See you next week!

Krama in Cambodia

Hello fellow travellers!

Can you guess from the picture where I am? I arrived in Cambodia. As a fashion designer I couldn’t miss the fact that everyone is wearing a similar scarf here. It’s called a krama and it’s part of their traditional clothing. It’s a simple but quite big scarf which they wear in a million different ways.

They use it as a fashionable piece, a headscarf, sarong, towel and even to carry babies around! Even I was surprised of all those ways to style a simple scarf. You remember I did a blog once about different ways to wear a scarf? You can find it here!

I made my own krama with fabric set PN-0164689 'Summer Flowers'.

Do you like it?

Enjoy your day!

Life is better in a bikini!

Oh hello there,

Do you like my bikini? I designed it especially to come to Bali. One of my friends is living here so I had to stop by on my trip around the world. She has her own swimming pool, the perfect spot to hang out in my bikini. The towel and my beach bag come in handy when visiting the pool.

Do you want to make this outfit yourself? Here you go with the pattern. Print it in A3 format and you can sew your own bikini!

And to make things easier, here's a tutorial to help you sew this bikini.

Have a lot of sewing fun!

See you later, alligator!
