5 little things we love – August 2020

O.N.S, a refined menswear label with New York origins launched in Hong Kong in 2019 by local retailer kapok, continues to expand in Hong Kong with the opening of a store at LANDMARK. To celebrate the opening of the new store, the brand has partnered with American illustrator Leah Goren to launch O.N.S x Leah Goren creative lab collection featuring bold printed tees, bright swim shorts and retro camp collar shirts. I know its menswear, but I am definitely planning on stealing one of the shirts from my partner’s closet and style it with a cute little denim skirt for a perfect summer look! 
 
O.N.S x Leah Goren Creative Lab capsule is available at the LANDMARK shop and online
Shop B6-B7, B/F, LANDMARK ATRIUM – Central

Barre 2 Barre launches Barre 2 Barre On Demand

It’s not a secret, I am a barre addict. I love the shake and sweat a good barre workout provides and the way it tones my body. But sticking to my workout routine has been a challenge over the past few months between the gyms closure and my pregnancy and now that I have the go from my doctor to work out again, the gyms are closed again and so is my beloved Barre 2 Barre studio. The good news is, they just launched Barre 2 Barre On Demand, a digital studio allowing you to practice anytime, anywhere with workouts designed for all fitness levels and requiring no barre or fancy equipment. 
 
Psst: my big belly and I are featured in the pre and post-natal videos
