The Princesses were off to Hongkong last August to take part in the great Hongkong Shopping Sale. We were able to book promo tickets last April courtesy of Tracy's tiyaga. There were 7 of us who went: Tricia, Snowy, Tracy, Regie, Charina, myself and my hubby. We were booked at the Marco Polo Hotel in Harbor City coz we wanted to have easy access to all the shops early on.
We went to Hongkong Disneyland on our first day to visit our "turf" and shopped at the Outlet Stores in TungChung afterwards. For dinner, we went in search for our favorite roast duck and suckling pig (cholesterol high!!). We were out strolling along Nathan Road until 11PM and got great steals from our usual haunts - Bonjour, Zara, Marks and Spencer, Sasa, HMV and Esprit.
On our second day, we just went around the Harbour City Shops. I was looking for a bag as usual and had to decide whether to get the LV Galliera, Jimmy Choo Mona or a Chanel tote. I eventually got myself the Chanel and vowed to get my Jimmy Choo next Time (lol!!). The other princesses went crazy shopping too!! Reg got a Cartier watch, Tricia got a Gucci Jolie, Trae got a Guccy large joy bag and the Snowy got so much stuff that I can't name them all. We also went to Times Square to check out the Designer Bazaar. Designer stuff like Juicy Couture, Michael Kors and Mossimo Dutti were on 50% to 70% off!! I almost got a juicy patent bag but realized it was a dog carrier hahaha!!
Tracy, Tricia and myself had a bet that whoever spends the least in HK shall be entitled to a special treat from the 2 losers who spent more. Of course, Tricia and I lost to Tracy and we got her a Zara jacket (haaay. . . why do we bet against her when we always lose).
Day 3 was our last day and the hubby was complaining why we had to book for 3 days only. Unfortunately, our tickets were non rebookable :) We went to Toys are Us to get Nica some pasalubong. The hubby got some stuff from Bally and I got my very first pair of Christian Louboutin from Lane Crawford (soooo excited!!). After checking out of the hotel, we went to Elements Mall to do express check in. We had about an hour to go so I got more goodies from See's Candies and more Zara.
All in all, it was pure fun, fun, fun!!! Our next plan is to go to either Japan, Seoul or Australia. Wish us luck!
