Thanks so much Ramona! You're sweet, gorgeous and oh so stylish and it was an honour to receive this award from you! xo
2. Seven facts about myself...
Fact #1. I was names after my birthplace, mid-flight a Cathay Pacific 747 en-route from Australia to Hong Kong (where I was hoped to be born). I have a special birth certificate for "Births on planes and boats" and I was the first to be awarded this birth certificate for my birth year (even though I was born in June).
Fact #2. I lived my first 10.5 years in Hong Kong, before moving to Brisbane, Australia with my family. I have since lived in Florida for a year (and will soon be returning) as well as a 3-month stint in the UK.
Fact #3. I have the travel bug hard. I have been to at least one new country every year for the last six or seven years (usually two or three countries a year) and I hope to live in the States for a while. I'm also hoping at some point to live in Europe and Japan.
Fact # 4. I very recently graduated from engineering (with honours). In fact, I literally just came home from my graduation ceremony! Yays =)
Fact #5. My background is half Chinese and half British. Although, I get mistaken for a local whereever I go. Espially hispanic and Asian countries, such as Mexico, Cambodia and Vietnam. I even got spoken to in Spanish when I was in La Guardia airport in NYC.
Fact #6. I am a massive hoarder. I have crap everywhere and my wardrobes (plural) are stuffed and overflowing constantly. Yet, it is in a state of organised chaos and it is rare that I lose something or not know where it is... You could never describe me as a minimalist!
Fact #7. Some of my favourite foods are dark chocolate, soft cheeses, lychees and mango anything (but especially dried). I also love roast duck, cheesecake, creme brulee and my mum's home cooked roasts. I have a massive sweet tooth and rarely go without dessert!
3. Pay it foward to seven bloggers
These are seven of my favourite blogs that I like to stalk on a frequent basis that you definitely need to add to your blogroll if they're not already on there!
1. Belle from Bellavanité - for her inspiring and individual quirky style
2. Elizabeth from Reinventing the Heel - for the lovings and livings of a trendy boutique owner
3. Rebecca from See You in Sweden - for her gorgeous feminine looks and frequent inspiration posts
4. Hope Adela from Pink Champagne - for her amazing and whimsical photos shoots
5. Freesia from Freesia Blog - for her gorgeous vintage inspired outfits
6. Duygu from Combo-Monster - for her hauntingly beautiful good looks and style to match
7. Nana from Nana stars - for her cute as a button look and perfectly styled outfits

-How cool of a feature and thanks so much for the mention Cat, I will be posting it soon!!!
ReplyDelete-Congrats on graduation and with such distinction :)
-These are some seriously cool facts. Born on a plane!! I would have been so at a loss if someone started giving birth next to me, haha. That is so cool though. Your background explains how you look so gorgeous but so not in a cookie-cutter way. My great-grandmother was from Hong Kong but that's a ways back and I don't look it at all so no one confuses me as a local anywhere...except maybe if I went to a nordic country where everyone was as pale as snow, haha.
Thanks so much!!!! So sweet of you to include me in this list! I am very flattered!
