Harbour City’s ‘Beauty Mart’

When: Through 20 June

Harbour City’s Ocean Terminal Lobby — directly across from Lane Crawford — has been transformed into a bazaar-style avenue of discovery through the month of June. Self-proclaimed ‘Hong Kong’s first beauty-themed local market’, Beauty Mart operates along three key themes: ‘Rose’, ‘Tea’ and ‘Vegan’; the latter-two’s correlation with health and food summarise the market’s modus operandi: Seeing beauty as a holistic aspiration, beyond skin-deep cosmetic procedures and focusing, too, on gut health and mental well-being.

Brands on-site include The Big Things Kitchen, The Nutter Company, Hong Kong Tea House and much more. Learn more here.

If you’re scratching your head for activities to do with friends…

The Lawn Club at AIA Vitality Park

When: May to July

Arriving at the cusp of summer from the creators that brought Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to the Central harbourfront is The Lawn Club; an experience that replicates that of The Grounds. However, instead of a passive watch-only experience, it’s interactive. Lawn games. Live entertainment. The works.

Prices for a 4-person pod starting at HK$600, while 4-person ‘Prime’ pods — which exchange sun loungers for cushioned sofa seating and occupy the space directly across from the LED screen — are priced at HK$1,000. Book your session here.

The Daily Tot’s 90’s Trivia Afternoon

When: 27 June

Grab a team of four or six, brush up on your Spice Girls lyrics and join in on The Daily Tot’s 90’s-themed trivia afternoon; considering the buzz surrounding the just-released ‘Friends’ reunion episode, this cannot come at a better time. Prices for entry are HK$500 per person, which includes free-flow and chances to win fun prizes.

Pro-tip: The best-dressed group will be in the running for a special prize — bring on the tattoo-chokers and butterfly clips.

If your wardrobe needs revamping for summer…

Aerie x Common Ground pop-up

When: Through June

Mark your calendars: Aerie by American Eagle — the lounge- and activewear subsidiary that celebrates body positivity, self-empowerment and absolutely no retouching — lands in Hong Kong mid-June in the smack-dab of Queen’s Road Central. In anticipation of the grand opening, Aerie will be collaborating with Common Ground for a month-long pop-up through June, effectively turning the café into ‘Aerie Café’, whereby a HK$10 discount can be accrued upon following @AerieHK on Instagram.

Harvey Nichols Hong Kong’s Sandbox

Since the reopening of its Pacific Place space in 2019, Harvey Nichols Hong Kong is finally sailing beyond the mundane bracket of luxury fashion retailer and into uncharted waters as an experimental retail space. Introducing Sandbox, a zone designed for free-rein creativity; not reserved only for the refines of sartorial collections, but the embracing of different cultural facets. In celebration, three new contemporary brands — HUF, Rip N’ Dip and Chinatown Market — have been added to the retailer’s portfolio.

Fendi Caffe

When: Through 6 June

Stroll through the Fendi Summer Vertigo collection, take a breath and kick back on the nearby benches — swathed in the same groovy 70’s-inspired pattern — with a treat off the Fendi Caffe coffee truck, courtesy of Between Coffee. A cuppa of the deliciously brewed coffee with the cocoa-dusted logo and the ‘FF’-stamped yuzu caramel cookies and dark chocolate tart, unique only to this Fendi glamp-site, makes for a most luxurious afternoon.

Havaianas’s pop-up at ifc

When: Through 11 November

Brazilian brand Havaianas arrives at ifc with a limited-time showcase of its signature flip-flop in a myriad of bright colours and even brighter patterns perfect for the summer season. While they may not tread on sandy beaches on far-flung islands for two blissful weeks, strutting on neat pool-side tiles feels like a worthy runway for the season-new zingy neon and glitter-dusted sandals. Also on display are the exclusive Tradi Ziro range that fuses the classic Havaianas silhouette with Japanese Zori sandals.
