Roccapuccia - Part 13

Gift Idea: Laser Tag Alarm Clock ($28, amazplus.com)

December 3, 2011

Traditionally, I have despised getting up in the morning. There is nothing worse than being warm and cozy in your bed in the midst of a great dream when the alarming sound of alarm bells go off and alert you to the fact that it’s time to get out of said warm cozy bed and [...]

Hong Kong Flower Market

December 2, 2011

Way back last weekend when I hung out in Mong Kok and after my trip to the Goldfish market, I took a walk over to the Hong Kong flower market. I didn’t get a time to check out the market in NYC, so this was my first trip to a relatively large flower market- and [...]

Happy Holidays… At the Office

December 1, 2011

With the holidays just around the corner, my office released some rules and regulations about Christmas decorations which made me laugh and that I thought I would share with you. The building we currently work in is owned by another company so these rules come from our landlord- and it wouldn’t be fair to tell [...]

Hong Kong Goldfish Market

November 30, 2011

As part of my Saturday afternoon in Mong Kok, I went over to the Goldfish market as it was recommended to me by a colleague.

Harvey Nichols pretty much sells designer clothes, but considering that there are very few places [...]

Sunday in Central

November 27, 2011

In taking my great husband’s advice, I went and asked the concierge about where I should eat around my hotel and he recommended a pretty good noodle place, which is where I went last night. Not exactly my taste, but I when in Rome Tsim Sha Tsui… Anyway, they also asked me if I was [...]

Maud Frizon Shoes

November 26, 2011

A few years ago, I remember seeing a blogger post about an amazing pair of flat shoes they had had forever. They were stylish, trendy and yet oh so very unique. I don’t remember much else about them in all honesty other than that they were made by someone named Maud Frizon. I apparently filed [...]

Saturday in Mong Kok

November 26, 2011

On my first/last/only weekend alone in Hong Kong, I decided that I would head out to Mong Kok on Saturday to spend the day. I left my hotel around 10 or 1030 and went to the subway station -Tsim Sha Shui- and went a few stops up to Mong Kok. I had several things I [...]
