A coffee to go please




I'm wearing a Berlin Fashionweek t-shirt I got from this contest, h&m pants, doc martens ballerinas, ES sweater and a nike bag. This is one of my “wake up and get out” outfits: skinny pants + big t-shirt + whatever accessories I can cram on in 2 minutes.The picture on the t-shirt is of the Berlin tower :)

I’m off to Lindau, Germany this weekend! It’s a yearbook trip and I’m uber excited, because the place is just so pretty




My find of the week: L'Occitane grapefruit body scrub
Oh my god - it's the most delicious smelling thing ever! My nose feels like its died and gone to heaven every time I smell it (okay, exaggeration, but you get the idea of how good and amaaazing it smells) I've only used it once, but my skin felt much softer afterwards...and it smelled of grapefruit :)

Summer lights on







I'm so sorry about the huge gaps in between all my posts! This weekend was quite the busybee; I started and finished an essay, did all my chinese homework, laid out our school magazine (I'm the layout editor hehe) and read two romance books. Feeling accomplished? I think yes!

These are from way the summer, when I went home to Beijing. I did so many touristy things including taking hundreds of pictures everyday. I should become a professional tourist hehee. My outfits were uber basic during the summer, so I don't have any good outfit shots. These were from when I went to Qianmen. Mostly candids. Wanted to share these pictures from my home :)

play time







Not to sound pedophilic, but children are my inspiration now. The way they say what they think, talk and hold themselves, how they draw and dress...everything about them is so magical and inspiring (and cute!) I wish I could be a little kid again, back to ABC; simple, concise and straightforward.

I'm wearing schoolgirl stuff: h&m skirt, falke stockings with ribbons, top from h&m, jacket from benneton and shoes from vans.

Camera around my neck








It was love at first sight when I saw that necklace. It represents me and is me. My trademark :)

Went for walk in the city with my bestie. Turns out I feel the most comfortable when in a crowd of tourists. Might be because I take pictures of everything, or that I've been a tourist non-stop for two months, or that I'm asian :)

I'm wearing a black tanktop from h&m, jeans from zara, necklace from beijing,bag from gst713, and converse sneakers. My auto-outfit for an active day.

How perfect are those colors are julia (those glasses look adorable on her)? And Leigh's dress suits her like her hair does - edgy and cool. Oh, and Alexa looking amayyy-zing (as usual, of course) with that high-waisted skirt and blazer. Such different girls, but each with such a cool personality and style. Inspirational.

It's not that hawt anymore





I hate it that summer is ending. It's my favourite time of the year (even though it does get quite gross and sticky sometimes). These pictures were taken at my best friend's house. We were back from swimming in the lake, which is why the boob area of my dress is kind of darker lol.

Dress and bikini from h&m, sandals from Belle, and fedora from Bye Bye Disco

blue skies and mountain tops








I went hiking a couple days ago and it was so hot I nearly jumped off the top of the mountain, just so the breeze on the way down could cool me down a bit. The weather was great for taking pictures though. Perfect lighting = the most important thing in pictures, I think. School's been okay. Just a bit time-consuming :) I've been working on some art and design projects for activities in school. Oh, and I picked up a couple of batches of pictures that got developed (forgot to pick them up in a while!) today. So much to show you all!

The shoes I got a couple years ago as a limited edition style from Converse. It has twice as many shoe-lace holes are usual! Due to this, my friend asked me if it was fake lol. I'm wearing a Uniqlo top (it actually has a built-in bra lol), h&m shorts, and a mango jacket.

I used to really like editing pictures, cross processing etc. But now I'm just tired and bored. I didn't alter the color of these at all. Do you prefer the pictures in their natural color, or edited? If you said yes to edited, how? Vibranter/vivider? or kind of vintage-looking?
