I'm not sure if love at first sight is real with people (I'm leaning towards no), but it's definitely real with boots. And fell in love with these white boots I definitely did. I put them together with two different outfits here. The first one is inspired by Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate. It's such a simple outfit but it left an impression on me since I saw the promotional materials for the movie. And I know it's not Halloween but any day is a good day..
“If you only knew how little I know about the things that matter” “What things that matter?” “You know what things.” Anyone who knows me would have spent some time hearing me talk about Call Me By Your Name. These quotes are from one of my favorite scenes in the movie, perhaps because it neatly sums up why I love it so much – it represents a lot of what matter the most to me. This summer, I lived out my dream of being in the world of the movie when I visited Northern Italy, walked the paths of Elio…

A couple months ago I took the plunge and got myself a DSLR, and have been taking some portraits for my friends. I couldn’t decide where to put the pictures – because did I really do it if no one sees it?? (Yes, I did).

After a train, a plane, another two trains, and a bus that made an unpredictable detour, I made my way from Paris to Florence. I was exhausted, but taken right away by the alleyways and the cafes.

My time there seems a little distant now, but a lot of moments still jump out at me and make me feel just as…

The reason I have this blog is simple – I love creating something out of nothing; and everything I make represents how I see things and what I enjoy in a moment in time. It’s almost the four-year anniversary of my blog now, and this project is one of the most special. I spent a couple weeks in my hometown in Beijing in August – the longest time I’ve spent there in about six years. In the last few days, I collaborated with a photographer and took a walk in the area in which I grew up. I’ve moved around…

It’s hard to fully feel confident doing something until you have seen yourself do it successfully in practice. Paris was the first stop on my solo trip for no reason other than it being one of the cheapest places to fly into in Europe. In theory, I knew I would love solo travel, and I had been on my own for a few days in Quebec City earlier this year; but I was really nervous before leaving. Once in Paris, I felt better. I was excited to taste the total freedom, despite being disoriented half the time by jet lag…
