Stanley Hong Kong Christmas
All the palm trees in Stanley Plaza have little bundles of blue glittery packages and these bright pink bubble captions. Season’s Greetings!

Merry Christmas from Stanley! I am so excited to have moved to this charming, extra special, Southside neighborhood of Hong Kong. Granted we lived just a ten minute walk away before in Chung Hom Kok, but now, we live in it, on it, of it. Stanley is spectacular, so you can count on hearing and seeing more of it in the future. For this little holiday walk through Stanley, Vincent and I stopped at each Christmas decoration within a one block radius of our home.

When I went to get dressed for work on Tuesday, I knew in the evening that I’d be going to a holiday party, so I chose to wear this dress all day long. This will probably sound crazy, but sometimes I actually enjoy being a little more dressed up for school. It adds a little perk to my step–like a little reminder that sounds in my head, “I’m super dressed up today because I have a party to go to tonight!”

There’s something extra special to say about this colorful, kimono style, Trina Turk dress: first, my gorgeous sister-in-law wore it during her wedding celebrations that occurred during the Christmas holiday of 2009. Just a few days later in 2010 while in Seattle, I found the same dress! I bought it to wear to my other sister-in-law’s wedding during Chinese New Year of 2010. Stories, stories, stories….they always seem to accompany the items I wear. And I when I wear them, I’m taken down a little memory lane. So Amy and Sally, while this has become my festive go-to holiday dress, I love this dress even more because of you two! I think of each of you every time.

*This post was prompted by IFB Project #126: Celebration Style. What better place to post my holiday frock than in all the festive decor in Stanley, Hong Kong.

This is the tree at the mezzanine level in the Stanley Plaza. (I think it must be sponsored by Chupa Chups as that’s the crazy installation right next to this tree.)

Upstairs in the Murray House near Blake Pier in Stanley, there’s a couple of quaint alcoves covered in pretty wreaths.
Murray House Hong Kong Christmas
This is the tree up on the second floor outdoors at the Murray House. Yes, I’m getting rained on here! But, that’s ok; it made it all the more fun trying to get the shot. Granted there was a bride waiting in line to get a similar shot.
Chupa Chups in Hong Kong
Here’s the wild Chupa Chups Christmas decoration. It’s definitely cute, but admittedly it kind of seems out of place somehow.

Last but not least, this is a glimps of the decoration installed right out our living room window. It’s fantastic and beyond bright. I’ll make sure to post a picture of the entire site at night in all its glory.
