What do you love about living in Macau?
I love that Macau is multicultural. I’ve met a lot of great people from different countries and backgrounds. Food’s the bomb-Cantonese cuisine is one of the best and I love that Macau is one of the safest cities in the world.
What do you do in Macau?
I was born and raised in Macau. I work in Leighton as a database administrator. During my spare time, my favorite things to do are shopping, go out and have a great time with friends, watch a good movie, get fit, explore new clothing stores, and try new restaurants and cafe shops.
Your favorite place to shop in Macau?
I usually shop at the Venetian shoppes; Zara, Stradivarious, Bershka & H&M. You can find affordable and latest fashion trends there. It’s just a matter of knowing how to mix and match to pull off a great OOTD.
Who takes photos for your outfits?
Who takes photos of my outfits? Anyone who I am with really. Though it’s usually my good friend Sonia or my mom. They’re very supportive of it.
How can Macau inspire the way you dress?
I can say I’m relieved to know that Macau’s fashion is up to date on whatever is new with the latest fashion, and through the affordable shops such as Forever 21 and H&M, we are able to adapt to what is trending. Thus this inspired my sense of style.
What would be an ideal weekend in Macau?
An ideal weekend in Macau is I would go shopping with mom or friends, have a good workout, and chill in a coffee shop.
What is your view on Macau’s fashion scene, do we have one?
Macau doesn’t have a specific fashion scene per se although I find that nowadays i see people wearing with style derived from either Korean, Japanese or western fashion due to the fact that we have a lot of tourists. That’s whats interesting about Macau because you see a lot of diverse sense of fashion.
How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is semi casual yet stylishly fashionable. I like dark colors preferably black. Plus It’s really up to my mood sometimes; when I am in the mood, I like to dress bold. When I am not, I like to keep it casual.
