Before you do anything, can we just omg at when Sandara from 2ne1 had faded pink hair? UGH they’re coming to HK and I won’t be there to catch the show even if tickets weren’t sold out on ticketbis. Okay oh my gosh, PINK HAIR. When it comes to my hair, I’m pretty impulsive. One night I decided I was bored of every Asian girl with short blonde hair (me included) so I just went and dyed the whole thing pink. At home. By myself. I used the same brand that I used to use for blue (Manic Panic) but the funny thing with the pink is that at this point, only about 10 days after I’ve dyed it, it’s pretty much all faded out already. I’ll probably re-do the pink again soon. The more you do the color, the more it “stains” your hair and after some time, you won’t have to re-do the dye as often. If you have any hair/bleach/dye questions, feel free to ask away!

When it comes to summer, I’m going to be living in the 3 pairs of boyfriend jeans that I now have. My latest favourite pair are these super super soft soft soft light faded pair from Topshop. I’m actually so lazy when it comes to getting dressed, so anything I can just slip on really quick, throw a tshirt and jacket over makes me super happy. On a miraculously warm day last weekend we shot these photos on a mini hill in the middle of the city, trying to take in as much sun in the cold weather and trying to convince ourselves that the clear skies are void of any pollution ー═┻┳︻▄ξ(✿ ❛‿❛)ξ▄︻┻┳═一

After living here for over a year, we still consider ourselves new to the city. This is probably because we generally stay within a 10 block radius of our apartment and only rarely travel beyond our own imaginary borders. Thankfully, all my favourite Shanghai people live relatively close and also live dat boMbA$$ ~FrEeLaNcE*LyFe~ ヽ(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)ノ My self-employed friends and I have to struggle each month or even week to stack that cheese (a girl’s gotta make it rain sometimes okay) but on the other hand, we have the freedom of calling each other up morning-of or day before and meeting up for 4 hour lunch meals or all day fun in the park.

My dear friend Hart of Shanghai Style File needed me to shoot her for an awesome “Day in the Life” post on the holy moly yoga site Lulu Lemon. Shooting Hart meant hanging out all day (in the c-c-c-c-c-old), eating pastries at Farine and ending post-shoot with a glass of wine! We shot a couple of looks in Fuxing Park (my first time there) and I couldn’t believe how much it reminded me of Paris when Jason and I would wake up early every morning and cross the Pont Royal bridge to le Jardin des Tuileries. When the weather warms up a bit in SH, we’ll definitely be scootering our way over to Fuxing park to hang out – the only kicker is that they don’t allow dogs ૮( ꒦ິ࿄꒦ີ)ა Oh well I guess Sumo will just continue sleeping all day and night at home!
