A wonderful weekend to you all.

Being the last day of the Chinese New Year, I figured a nice close to the days of celebrations would be ideal. So here's the last of my Chinese New Year outfit posts worn during these 2 weeks of festivities.

As with tradition, both the eve of Chinese New Year and the close of the New Year celebrations, families would gather together for a lovely meal. Here we had setup a cosy hotpot dinner with closer friends. It was a declicious heartwarming meal both with the great company and the comfort food in the cold winter.

My lovely helper put together the dinner setting whilst we were all out at work during the day. Such a pretty sight....

This cotton version of a cheongsam was a modern take on this traditional costume and one that could double up as a top or even worn on regular days unlike the silk or embroidered versions often kept for special occasions. As the evenings this February is kinda cold in Hong Kong, a wool shawl was the perfect accessory for the night.
