Pavo Florals Madonna Rose Box

What do all women want? A love that lasts a lifetime. And here, we have it — or, an expression of it, anyway — in the form of everlasting, handcrafted silk flowers. Although sunflowers are my favourites (take note, boys!), Pavo Florals’ signature Madonna Roses are an impressive two to three times larger than the average bud; a glorious, customisable arrangement that will brighten up any living space in an extravagant statement of love.

Tiffany Knot Double Hinged Bangles

Why yes, I do have multiple items on this list, but it’s Valentine’s Day! And my birthday coming up hot, too. So, for all my friends and suitors reading this, I do indeed have my eye on a little bit of gold and ice. Let a girl dream. Anything that symbolises unity will always tug on my heartstrings, and for the very large, insatiable magpie within me, it would certainly be nice to be adorned with one or two items from the brand’s latest Tiffany Knot collection.

Asaya Lodge “Love Myself” Retreat

I can’t resist any excuse for good pampering, and no one does it better than Asaya at the Rosewood Hong Kong.

Guests are also invited to custom blend their own body scrubs, aromatic oils and bath salts for your ultimate tailored self-care ritual.
