Happy Valentine’s Day!

Sometimes it feels like there is nothing LESS romantic than Valentine’s Day… suffocated teddy bears in cellophane wrapping, over-priced flowers (HK1480 for tulips in Olivers… hello? Are you mad?!) and restaurants with set menus and a hundred tables full of couples squeezed in a little too close to each other. It’s a struggle to rediscover what’s actually special about the holiday.

For me there’s nothing more romantic than food, and breakfast in particular… A mug of milky coffee, pancakes, fresh fruit…

High heels with nude chiffon straps… Quirky fishnets…

And how sometimes even when someone doesn’t say the kind of words you’d find on a greeting card, those turn out to be exactly the right words for you.

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day however you’re celebrating!

Hester Aba

Hester is originally from the incredibly glamorous city of Bristol, in England. Determined to escape her West-Country roots (though a love of good scrumpy should never be lost) she packed off for uni at Oxford to waste several years on a degree in Philosophy and never looked back… Following a stint in Switzerland eating too much fondue and meeting her future husband, they jumped at the chance to follow their dream of heading to Asia, and landed in Hong Kong in 2008. Along with partners-in-crime and fellow Tai-Tais, Maura Thompson and Natalie Firestone, she founded Sassy in 2009 and then Sassy Mama in 2011 after the birth of her daughter Elodie. Number 2 daughter Margot arrived in August 2012 and then two months later it was off to her new home in Singapore with tinies in tow. Hester is discovering the Lion City one shophouse at a time with a love for seeking out Singapore’s hidden secrets!
