The Labels & Lacquer Approved Hong Kong Survival Guide

We had such a wonderful time in Hong Kong. However, there were certain items we needed on us at all times, to ensure we kept having a good time. We walked so much in HK, and we needed to make sure we stay hydrated at all times. Traveling can take a lot out of you. So our #1 tip would to make sure you have one to two water bottles on you. ALWAYS. There is so much to see and do in the city, so we highly recommend you make this your next travel destination. Shopping, yummy food,

A Guide To Juicing In Hong Kong

We've never really been big into multi-day juice cleanses or anything of the sort. We appreciate food waaay too much for that. But, juice can be such a nice, filling pick-me-up that we like the idea of sipping on a juice quite a lot (as long as it doesn't have to replace our lunch). We'd never found ourselves in need of such a nourishing snack than while out and about (walking at least 8 miles a day) in the crazy busy city of Hong Kong. Luckily, there are juice bars all over

The Mini Hotel: Where The Labels and Lacquer Girls Are Staying In Hong Kong

During our vacation in Hong Kong, we are staying at the the Mini Hotel. We had actually come across this hotel before when we were doing a search for dream hotels across the globe. Because, yes, that's just the kind of thing we spend our time doing. What can we say? The L & L girls like to be fully prepared for all their future vacations. We remembered the Mini Hotel, because the theme of the entire hotel is, well, mini. The rooms are smaller than normal- they are cute and f

Hong Kong: Part 2, A Return Trip Couldn't Change How I Feel About This Place

I have a love-hate relationship with Hong Kong. My experiences there are always full of extreme highs, followed immediately by lows. Ocean views and ant bites. Ice cream licks and scurrying rats. It’s a bit of a long story, and you might not understand even if I told you. Regardless of my feelings towards the place, when I landed and was back in the airport, it was apparent: this city wasn’t done with me, yet. Or maybe it was me who wasn’t done with this city. Whatever the ca

Plane Ride Reads: The Labels & Lacquer Girls Travel To Hong Kong Edition

When you’re about to embark on a 14 hour flight, you’ve got to be prepared. From music to books, you’re going to want to keep yourself entertained in between snoozing and eating those in-flight meals. The Labels and Lacquer girls are planning on doing just that. We’re jet-setting off to Hong Kong, and we’re going to have plenty to keep our interest until we land in the vast city, where we’ll surely never feel bored, from the moment we land to the moment we take-off again. We’

Labels & Lacquer Travel Guide: 7 Space-Saving Packing Hacks

The Labels and Lacquer girls aren’t known for packing lightly, but we also don’t want to be lugging heavy suitcases through the busy city streets of Hong Kong. Needless to say, we’ve been doing research on how to maximize space in our suitcases and are trying to be really careful with what we pack— for once. Typically, our method is something like “better safe than sorry,” and we wind up bringing our entire wardrobe with us wherever we go. But, not this time around. Here are

Kardashian Inspired Home Goods

Photo via Architectural Digest Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim are style icons. We thought it would be fun to pair home goods with each of the girls and their personalities. Each one has their own unique style, and that translates beyond their fashion. For Kim, the pieces we chose were definitely influenced by her hubby, Kanye. The first is piece is a faux floral wall, like the ones he is known for giving to Kim. Yes you know the ones, the backdrop at their wedding or her first moth

The Labels and Lacquer Girls' Dream Café List

The Labels and Lacquer girls love a good coffee shop. It’s just a nice environment to be in, whether you’re working or just sipping your coffee and relaxing. Anything you do with a coffee in hand is better than doing it without it. We love trying new things, especially when it involves a pastry and a little caffeine. Here are eight dream cafés that we want to travel to. Get your bags packed, it’s time to get that expresso, latte, macchiato fix. 1. Morning Glass Coffee & Café

7 Butterscotch Treats To Go Along With Your Starbucks Latte

So, Starbucks is rolling out a brand new butterscotch latte, and if it’s anything like some of the other popular drinks (and yes, I’m talking about the PSL), then you’re going to be craving butterscotch flavored everything once you try it. We can already tell that we’re going to be OB-sessed with this new drink, and in anticipation of trying it out later this week, we took it upon ourselves to find some yummy snacks that will make the perfect complement to that Smoked Butters

Chocolate Wine Is The Best Of Both Worlds This Valentine's Day

Have your chocolate and drink it, too, this Valentine’s Day— in the form of wine. You heard me. Chocolate wine exists, so why wouldn’t you want to drink it on the day that’s all about love and more importantly, chocolate. As much as you love V-Day and what it symbolizes, you also love wine and rich cocoa flavor, right? Absolutely. You’ll never have to have your wine and chocolate separate from each other again, if you don’t want to. And why would you? Because wine and chocola
