DESIGNERS UNITED

The one thing I love about Shanghai is these super hip, artsy New York style loft parties. I went to the event 'Designers United' last Saturday by the old ferry pier （老码头）.  The space with set up with different local designer collections and bits of contemporary art pieces and furniture.  Free flow wine and cheese bites!

BLUE JEANS

Its been a while! I felt AWFUL for abandoning this blog for so long. Anyway love her.

SPACE COWBOY

Wow its been weeks since I've updated! My apologies guys! I've been in and out of cities.. Also, I gotta say..fashion blogging requires soooooo much effort, more than I ever imagined, I'm sure a lot of you would agree!  Picking an outfit, choosing locations, asking someone to take posy photos of you and having to go through that 'YESS I ADMIT I'M SO VAIN!!!' kinda embarrassment. Ahhaaha.  And then walking around town with people constantly starring at your outfit.  I'm from HK and Shanghai and I feel like we aren't as alternative as western countries.  I do not often see many people who dress out of the box or are open to alternative things. I love wearing outfits that I think are cool but when I have people constantly staring at me in subway stations or on the streets because I'm wearing a sheer maxi dress, I can't help but wonder what they are thinking.   Do they like it or think I look really strange?  So I can get pretty self conscious at times!  Oh the pain of blogging!!  I'm glad my best friend was ever so willing to help me out this time and we ended up having a tonne of fun!  Its not as embarrassing when your best friend is the one who takes the photos! :)

KOMMUNE

Today I went to 田子坊 (Tian Zi Fang) on Tai Kang Lu, Shanghai's "art street."  As you walk through the narrow lanes of TaiKang Lu you surround yourself with Shikumen houses.  Some of these old houses are still occupied by residents.  And below these houses are a number of art galleries, cute little boutiques, bars and cafe's.  The brick buildings are old and  unrestored, giving it a very authentic feel.   Its like a maze! Almost every time I go there I would visit Kommune, they serve the best chocolate cake in Shanghai.

STARRY EYED

VINTAGE TREASURE CHEST

Today I found gold...

So my mums been hiding her box of vintage jewels for years!  Why have I never discovered this in my house!?  If she was hiding it from me..I must say she hid it well.  

My eyes lit up

I swear, when I opened it I felt like I was Harry Potter finding another horcrux! It was like opening the box with Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem! I'm so excited to play with these!
