i’ve been internet-less for almost a week now. not very blog friendly, no no. i love my new jumper. it sorta feels like a costume. it’s huge and can barely fit under any of my winter coats.
wearing Yesstyle fur jumper, Urban Outfitter leather skinny pants, Zara pumps
perfect platform
January 30, 2012 - 39 comments
new shoesies gifted from NastyGal. they are aptly named the perfect platform. why? cuz they are just that. height plus that super weightlessness that make walking in them clunk-free. *TIP* buy half a size smaller–these run big!

i call this look: rebel school boy meets yeti. i bought these shorts last year and they’ve been a staple ever since. i like how they are longer than what i usually wear. i’ve also been playing with the idea of a jacket inside a jacket. much easier said than done, but i think this works. it’s sorta messy but orderly.

this will be my first chinese new year in china and i’m pretty excited to see what it’s gonna be like. nic and i went to the store today to get ‘supplies’. apparently it’s going to be hard to get around town starting sunday. most people will be closed until February, likely visiting family and taking some much deserved time off. as for me, no family this year but i’ll probably be corralled into an expat dinner with friends.

houndstooth crazed
January 18, 2012 - 21 comments
i love houndstooth suddenly. especially in this deep dark forest green. i’m also totally in love with the ‘suit’ seen everywhere this fall and spring. this is very prep, but more sarah michelle gellar than reese if you know what i mean…
skirt from romwe.com; jacket from www.taobao.com (they only ship within China)
say hi on facebook + twitter!

this sweater is a little inappropriate for such cold weather but i don’t care! it’s super sexy but i think in a very subtle way. It’s also great layered on top of a tshirt, giving new dimension to the ol’ sweater and tee duo. so sorry for the disappearing act; i’ve been sick. after an amazing (and very gluttonous) visit to France I caught a bad airplane cold. (of course). runny nose. congestion. fatigue. that being said, i’ve still been creeping out at night to see friends etc…likely compounding said symptoms. sigh.

goodbye 2011, hello 2012. despite finding the whole reminiscing of yesteryear to be sorta cheesy, I will do exactly that now. just cuz i like hearing my own thoughts….and it is cathartic in a way. 2011 meant cutting my hair off. moving to china. moving out of china. finally moving back to china. for love. now i’m in paris with him walking around a city i haven’t visited since i was 15 and reveling in how strange life is. how awesome it is.

acclimating
December 12, 2011 - 58 comments
ok! so week one is over in beijing. I have to say that despite the bone-chilling cold, I like Beijing much more in the winter. There are less people on the roads and the city feels a little less polluted. Plus coming from a cold place, i find myself acclimating much easier to this than the the almost 50 degree weather of the summer.
