Kaili, 3 years old - Hong Kong, HK

Kaili is a funny girl who makes people laugh, intentionally or not. She loves arts and crafts and recently has been doing a lot of colouring, cutting papers and pasting…she is also pretending to do origami. One sure for sure : Kaili is into yellow! Chiharu, a Japanese based in Hong Kong, recently launched a very inspiring e-store called www.storytime.jp.

Your favorite children’s brands Good evening, Bonpoint, Zozio, Wovenplay, Nellystella

Your favorite children’s stores Isetan (Shinjuku Branch) kids floor has a great selection of both Japanese and non-Japanese brands, Bonpoint (anywhere in the world!), a book store called “Merry Go Round” for kids in Kyoto

What do you buy a lot online for your children Since I started my boutique, I have been buying more for the boutique than for Kaili! However, I do continue to buy a lot of arts and crafts things for kids on anthropologie.com, hocusadabra.com that delivers international, and have been eying cute things at www.rompbklyn.com. I rely quite a bit on amazon.co.jp to get the Japanese kids books as well as dvds for my daughter

A website that inspires you Anthropologie.com, Goop.com, ahcahcum-muchacha.com

The criteria you consider when you buy something for Kaili Comfortable with good design. Also, as she is at the stage of putting her own clothes on and off, I like to make sure that it is an easy one for her to wear and take it off

Last item you added to your child’s wardrobe Chiffon Polk-a-dot dress by good evening

Most precious item you bought for your child All the traveling and the experience she has done just in 3 years!

Best gift you gave for a child’s B-day Capturing some beautiful moments by asking Rensis Ho (www.rensisho.com) to take photos at her 2^nd Birthday party which was held at a cupcake shop

Favorite pieces in Kaili’s wardrobe Yellow dress and party shoes from Bonpoint (wore it for her 3^rd year birthday)

The book on your bedside table Tons of Japanese arts and crafts books that I want to make but have not been able to do

Where do you like to go for the summer holidays This is a tough question to answer. My romantic side would say Spain, France or Italy…but the practical side says exploring more of South East Asia and Japan!
