Thou shalt not repeat your outfits.

This used to be my number one commandment when it comes to dressing,
then I ended up with a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear.

Everyone has their own fail-proof formula. Simply ask yourself:

 If cafes are staycations, coffee shops are gas stations.

So coffee shops are, yes, only for the energy boost mentally and physically, but not necessarily for chilling. (Will do another post on places that are great for people-watching and diving your heads into laptops, I promise!)
 
These are the places I (only) get my coffee from, so please say hi if you see me there!

1. Brew Bros (Sheung Wan/Pok Fu Lam). Conveniently located near school, decent coffee and avocado toasts.
2. Fuel (Admiralty/Central). Always there and never disappoints.
3. Barrista Jam (Sheung Wan). Piccolo latte!
4. Filters Lane (Sai Ying Pun). The full experience from roasting to tasting.
5. Why50 (Sheung Wan). Can't decide if I like their tartines or coffee better.
6. Fineprint (previously Peel Street Espresso - Central). It's where coffee meets bagel ;) Serving Redback.
7. Brew Crew (Causeway Bay/Kwun Tong). They are the same bunch of people behind Brew or Drip! Love their flatwhites.
8. Hideout (Sai Ying Pun). Attic hideaway. Secret hand-holding. 
9. Omotesando (Wan Chai). Hand drip. 
10. Nusty​ Coffee Bar (Quarry Bay). Aussie. Complex flavours. 
11. CocoEspresso (Central/Wan Chai). Ice drip.
12. Cupping Room (Central/ Sheung Wan/ Wan Chai). Liked it so much better before it got mainstream, but I ain't complaining!
13. Beanery (Sheung Wan). On-the-go, get ready your pick-up lines.
14. Winstons Coffee (Sai Ying Pun). coffee and booze, say what?
15. Unar​ C​offee Company (Tai Hang). Italian beans and benches.

I was invited to a pop-up exhibition yesterday, curated by the Artisanal Movement, a journey amassing a modern living culture through their persistence in delivering bespoke craftsmanship manifested by originality.

Creating the likes of Eight Kwai Fong, Cobo House, Artisan Room, K11, and having worked with designer-artists including Shunmyo Masuno and Lam Tung Pang, the Movement creates contemporary architectures with humanised aesthetics.

Below are some shots from the exhibition:
