What an amazing day for our 1st wedding anniversary. The gray sky shed a few raindrops, and the sun came in and out intermittently. It was a beautiful reminder that through rain or shine, life was beautiful. We arrived early to the Bund to do a (...)
It's always hard to justify buying two of the same thing. So when I saw this amazing dress in two different colors, I knew I was in deep trouble. I really tried to pick just one... but in the end, I came up with too many good reasons to score both! Wear the printed one as a day dress, and then transition into the black (...)
I take my style cues from a lot of places, but you probably never imagined HBO's hit show Game of Thrones to be one of them. I've been a major fan of Daenerys Targaryen's style since day one, and each season after the next, I look forward to seeing the new dresses that evolve with her character. As many favorites as I (...)
As promised, here's Part II to my recent post New Art in Old Beijing: Part I.
As I continued to walk around the 798 Art District in Beijing, I couldn't help but notice that each little corner made me feel (...)
Bad weather is a blogger's worst nightmare, for obvious reasons. So imagine my shock, as I welcome my first summer in China, only to be told by everybody and their mother that "plum rain season" is here, a.k.a. it'll be raining non-stop every day until the (...)
On my visit to Beijing, my high school friend Tiffany who is a well-known Chinese art curator there, suggested the 798 Art District for inspiration. Upon arrival, I thought my taxi driver had taken me to the wrong place, because all I saw were industrial (...)
For a quick weekend lunch date, my style motto is to keep it understated but always eye-catching. What better shoes for the job than my Pierre Hardy Eye Sandals? These babies are more versatile than you'd think. I initially bought them planning to reserve them for special events, but since then I've worn them pretty much everywhere.
Today, I matched them with a loose black (...)
Cats: Pretty cool. Cat Sweaters: Even cooler. The challenge is figuring out how to wear a cat sweater without looking like you're 12 or just rolled out of bed in your secret cat PJs. (Wait, doesn't everyone have those?...) While I admit I own a few cat sweaters, this Fiona Cat Sweater by Nümph is (...)
Say goodbye to dragging your long maxi dress through dust and dirt! We all know the feeling of having to hike up a long dress to avoid getting our heel stuck or trampling over it. It's a drag, no pun intended.
That's why I'm all about the midi length dresses this season. They are fun, flowy, and easy to wear. I (...)
Sanlitun ("Three Miles Village," "三里屯") in Beijing is a happenin' place - a bustling center of fashion, art, shopping, and bar-hopping. And anywhere I can find enough Hello Kitty balloons to fly away à la "Up" is a winner in my book.
Since I'd be walking in the sun all day, I decided on this H&M mesh (...)
