HongKong - Shopping Haven Part 2

Guys,  as promised I want to show some of my purchases while I was in HongKong. They are just exciting!  I can't wait to wear them all! Haha!  


You know how much I love accessories, so obviously, went gaga over them!  Got some goodies mostly from H & M and Cotton on :)

this necklace - a must have for the season!!!
can't resist buying this floppy hat, it's on sale in Cotton On! only at HK$25!
the color palette of these scarves are so spring 2012!
I also got a new strap for my camera, isn't it cute?

Some clothes I got mostly from H & M and Cotton On as well

don't you just love this color for summer?

I still have other purchases but they went straight to the laundry as I got home! Haha!

My ultimate purchase, which I can't seem to resist buying:

I just couldn't resist because I love the navy color and the style.  It's very sturdy, I can put my makeup kit, phones, iPad etc!

HongKong Trip - My Shopping Haven!

I was still a kid when my parents first brought me to HongKong.  Both my parents visit HongKong to eat good Chinese food and to shop (well my dad used to go for business trips). 
Now that I am old enough and can pay for my own flights, I still go there to do the same thing.  Thank goodness for promo fares, HongKong is more accessible! 

We stayed for 4 days at the fabulous Marco Polo Gateway as it is located along my favorite shopping area, Canton Road. Alongside our hotel there's Prada, Louie Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, Chanel, Hermes, Dior and the most interesting for me, across is H&M! 

First Day - Macau
It was my first time to visit, hmmm it was ok... I just went there for a day trip.  Visited the Senado Square, the ruins of St. Paul and my last stop, The Venetian.  And then, I miss HongKong already and would want to go back right away! Haha!
