hile the majority of Hong Kong seems to be in chaos, Southside remains realitively unscaved with Repulse Bay busy and as bustling as ever! Southsiders are resilient and will do anything for a good sunset cocktail. This month we had the pleasure of stepping inside Tracy Fitzpatrick’s new home in sunny Shek O. The Indigo Living CEO has added her magical touch to the location, with taupe tones and minimalistic furnishings, step inside on page 20. If our cover story has got you inspired to decorate your home for spring, our must haves this month on page 18 has all you need to spruce up your home. For those of you looking for adventure (without having to spend too long on public transport) Rory Mackay shares his favourite route from The Peak down to Aberdeen, in our Big Day Out feature on page 34. While you’re in Aberdeen, check out the food scene, with our guide on page 26. Whatever this month may bring, we wish you a safe and enjoyable one.

3 things we love this month... The Pizza Project Affordable and delicious, Pirata Groups latest endeavour has caused quite the buzz with diners queuing out the door for a slice of their homemade pies! We may have been a little late to the party but it was worth the wait. thepizzaproject.hk

Getting outdoors
W52 Hair & Nails I received the full treatment at W52’s Centrally-based salon this month. Between glasses of Prosecco and friendly chit chat, senior stylist, Sinead Deacy transformed my locks and helped me feel more confident than ever! w52hair-nails.com

While many of Hong Kong’s events have been cancelled this month, there is always a new hike to explore! We’ve enjoyed getting outdoors mask-free, and experiencing nature at its finest.
