Scarf- Allude, 1,255 RMB; Blazer- Calvin Klein, $10, Salvation Army

SHANGHAI, CHINA- I love scarfs by ALLUDE!!
ALLUDE is a German brand that makes great cashmere knits that are fairly affordable. The red bracelet that I'm wearing is a chinese bracelet that symbolizes good luck, health, and fortune! The Chinese NY is coming up in a few days and I'm REALLY excited to have a whole week off to do nothing but relax... and organize my new apartment (I'll post pics of my new place soon)!

Snow in Shanghai?!

ABOVE:
Full Fur Jacket- $50, Amvets San Diego

SHANGHAI, CHINA- It rarely ever snows in Shanghai, so when it does I get to bust out some of my precious finds that I get to wear just as rarely. I remember when I found this jacket squished between two other pieces in the dump that Amvets is. After a quick dry cleaning it looked good as new!! I probably wear this piece about twice a year if i'm lucky ;)

Jacket- 8,600RMB, PREEN from THE VILLA

SHANGHAI, CHINA- I was stoked when I got this write up in m.style magazine. It's always super rewarding getting recognized for your job and hard work. I'm excited to say I have a few more of these coming up pretty soon that I'm excited to share!! I was honored to be lined up with other buyers from Nike, Novo me, Anywalk, and Istituto marangoni. If you can't read Chinese,.... the article asks me about my background, how I came to china, how I conduct the buying in the Chinese market as a foreigner, and asks me to describe my personal style. Which is obviously a lot a vintage/ thrift shop with a downtown feel ;)
