Hermes Dogon Wallet in Etoupe




What I am loving ... my Hermes wallet.
I use this everyday ...
even when travelling.
I love that it has two compartments.
One for my main currency the HK dollar 
and another for whatever foreign currency I am carrying on any given day.
At the moment, I have some Thai Baht leftover  
from my just-concluded 6-day holiday in enchanting Thailand.
Yes, I even brought my wallet to the beach!
There are also enough slots for credit cards, IDs, etc.
There is a small purse inserted as well 
for whatever special stuff that you need to keep with you.
Perfect for someone like me who does not
like to change wallets.

My feature wall


What I am loving ... my feature wall.
When I was preparing to move to my new apartment,
I read a number of design magazines
and I was visually impressed by feature walls.
For my dining room, I chose to have a fashion wall.
10 beautiful Richard Avedon pictures 
chosen and framed by my friend Kurt
(who styled the whole flat)
and photographed below by Xavi Bakker.

A tablescape






What I am loving ... an interesting tablescape such as the one
I have on top of my Tibetan cabinet.
A pair of Jonathan Adler elephants, a Cire Trudon candle,
a wooden boy statue bought in Chiang Mai 10 years ago or so,
plants on an African wooden container (I was told this was
used to collect milk), and an Ikea lamp
set against two pastels by Philippine artist Philipp Badon.

Le Corbusier Chaise Lounge (the LC4)






What I am loving ... my LC4.
I gifted myself with my dream furniture piece in 2010.
That was after dreaming of owning this iconic chaise since 2003!
Some things are simply worth a seven-year wait!
