Fashion crush : Oui mais non
 
Not sure what’s going on lately with young French entrepreneurs launching their brands/e-shops in HK but it seems like French talents are booming in the 852 and I like that very much !
Oui mais non is one of those kiddo and this one is the cool kid of the gang. Their moto ? Simple but not plain, living young and wild and free. I am a huge fan of their super cool sweaters  and must confess a heavy crush on the Ketchup/Mustard pair.
 
They are launching their e-shop tis week and I gotta a feeling that Oui mais non is gonna rock this spring !
 
Lifestyle crush : Atelier Cologne
 
I discovered Atelier Cologne in 2012 and have been addicted to this beautiful brand since then. More than just a beauty brand, I like to think of it as a lifestyle one, they do not only create perfumes they also imagine beautiful stories. Their latest creation Clémentine California is just a big splash of summer, a roadtrip throughout California driving along the line of clementine trees. With this unique Atelier Cologne’s touch, 15% cologne concentration making it a « highly concentred, elegant citrus ».
 
And why not discovering this beautiful new Cologne Absolue with an elegant tea-time ? Inspired by Clémentine California, the Clementine Tea Set by Atelier Cologne is available until March 31st at the Lobby Lounge – InterContinental Hong Kong and is a tribute to clementine from savoury items such as the Duck Terrine with Mandarine Salsa to yummy sweet pastries including the Citrus Mirliton Cake and the Mandarin Cake.
 
Clémentine California 30ml HKD 650 / 100ml HKD 1,200 / 200 ml HKD 1,600
Tea set Atelier Cologne HKD 608 for 2 (Mon-Fri)/HKD 628 for 2 (Weekends and Public Holidays)
 
Beauty crush : MISS BAOBAE
 

When it comes to beauty, I am kind of a junkie : nothing I like more than discovering new and emerging brands and testing beauty innovations.
MISSBAOBAE has just launched in November and I absolutely love the website … emerging brands from all other the world, gathered on the same platform.
 
My latest discovery ? The soft perfume by Sabé Masson : a nourishing solid caring perfume in stick form. The packagings are adorable, the scent is addictive and the stick format is so convenient. Loving my new perfume ritual.
 
Foodie crush : Pierre Hermé’s Valentine’s collection
 
Nothing new, I am still a great fan of Pierre Hermé. Their macarons are just the best and the Valentine’s Day 2017 sounds just way to yummy:
PLAISIR SUCRÉ - Milk Chocolate & Flaky Praline
FRIVOLITÉ - Salted-Butter Caramel & Apple (way to miam!)
INFINIMENT CHOCOLAT BÉLIZE - Pure Origin Belizean Dark Chocolate
 
And the cute and yummy macarons come in funky boxes designed by French illustrator Soledad Bravi … if you needed any excuse to treat yourself to someting sweet.
