There's something happening in Aberdeen. Everyone I know is looking at New York style warehouse apartments off Hueng Yip Road, Andrea, the hottest Italian in Hong Kong, runs his private dining empire in a very cool space round the corner (Cuore Private Chef - make sure you have his Grandmothers lasagna), Flex opened a yoga and pilates studio nearby, and now the arrival of Mirth. As you know I love a new find, I popped in on Saturday to see Kylie, she's been here 11 years and runs her own children's clothing label. Her and her business partner had had their eye on the space below for a while, and 2 weeks ago they unveiled a new interiors and lifestyle store. A stylish combination of cashmere, unusual gifts, bags, cards, furniture, children's clothes, and what my mother would call "nick nacks", make it a new secretstylist fave. I spied Lisa Stickley, Love Molly cashmere, rustic wooden tables, huge stools in bright prints, tall lamps, pretty paper flowers and stylish well-priced cards, which, for some reason there is a total lack of in Hong Kong. So Aberdeen is the new black. Star Street is soooooo 2010. Mirth, The Mezzanine Floor, Yip Kan Street, Wong Chuk Hang, 2553 9811.
If I cover an entire ceiling in pink paper flowers will the husband flip?
I want this grey table, so don't you dare buy it!
