Um…can’t get more perfect looking than this. Why wont my eyebrows grow like that.
This little lady is wearing her mothers vintage top and her mother by her side, its hard to believe there are so few chinese women who would dare ware vintage clothing in, even their own mothers.
Let’s make note of her amazing lip color. She mixed YSL Rouge Pur, #144, lip color with a cheapy convenient store color to get that orange coral lip. Love it so much I sort of wish I was pale now. The lips are a perfect compliment to her neutral toned outfit.
Happy Birthday to this little munchkin brother. Except he’s now 29 years old. I love babies slash kids in cardigans. Gets me every time. That and chow chows on the streets. Grown up Erwin is founder of GameDay China, one of the first organized American football leagues in the PRC. 1st inaugural game kicks off just in time for Thanksgiving festivities on Sunday, Nov. 27th, at Shanghai’s Nike Football Field inside the Shanghai Sport Center Grounds (alongside Lingling Lu, Shanghai Indoor Stadium).
Happy Thanksgiving!!









It was a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon at The Apartment for our 2nd ever Shanghai Closet Swap. Les Lucioles, SpinNg Sugar, CuKimber, The Hat Lab, Snoozer Loser, Shanghai Naturals and Kaileeni made a lovely giant Pop-Up Shop in the VIP room while guests brunched and swapped out in the terrace. Proceeds were donated to The Carter Center and over 600 items of clothing were donated to River of Hearts. Thanks Shanghai!
We’ve been busy little bees, but we haven’t forgotten you, fashion. On the brain…colors. I will never desert you, my favorite color, creme. But it is the year of the Colors. Next year. I suddenly feel you fusia, forest green, coral, dusty dusk blue and even peach? Color block your garments and you will surely be pleasing to the eye.

Meet Marion.
Marion the milliner fell in love with hats two years ago. Her passion for unique headpieces brought her to Paris to be trained in accessories design.
M’s aspiration is to design vintage beauties to embellish the heads of women who possess a gypsy soul, and encourage them to play dress-up in their everyday lives.
Growing up in a military world with Dad and his tales of voyages, his ethnic discoveries, and his sailor suits, M feels deeply connected with the past, paying tribute to navy officers, burlesque dancers, and explorers of bygone days: her muses to design.
Now based in Shanghai, M delicately hand-makes her hair jewelry, combining feminine and masculine elements, creating a military boudoir ambiance. Each head candy tells its own one-of-a-kind story.
