Snag a new summer wardrobe
Hot new jewellery and accessories shop The9thMuse has certainly made a splash since its arrival in Hong Kong (we’re loving those House Of Harlow 1960 sunnies for summer!) and they’ve teamed up with another great Central boutique, Halo (whose specialty is vintage-style leather goods), for a one-day only shopping event! You can check out both stores newest arrivals and sales items, snag yourself some stunning summer-ready gear from brands like Edge Of Ember and Heirloom… with music and all-day refreshments too. Sassy tip: wine and bubbly after 6.30pm!

Art attack!
It seems that the entire city has gone mad for ART HK, including the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.  Not only will it be the hotel of choice for visiting artists, but its Michelin-starred chef, Uwe Opocensky, has taken it upon himself to create a memorable meal of artistic treats to celebrate the event, with an amazing art menu at the Mandarin Grill + Bar. Feast your eyes on amazing edible art inspired by Painting, Graffiti, Music and more. This is truly a sensory experience – watch the blank canvas of the table morph into a chocoholic’s masterpiece before your very eyes… the visiting artists aren’t the only ones in HK with a creative flair! Check out our full review, plus some awesome photos, here.
