Last night I went and watched Toy Story 3 at the theathre, with 3D glasses! Such an awesome movie!!!!! You have to watch it no matter how old you are!!!
My jacket comes from Hong Kong, dress (borrowed from my friend, but it’s from China), actually everything I wore yesterday is from China haha. Except the bag, of course.

August 31st, 2010Fashion/Beauty/TrendsHair accessories has been trendy for quite a while, but now it has been taken to a new dimension. This trend started in Seoul, Korea, and as usual it has now spread to cities like Shanghai. I love this trend. Am going to buy several ones in Shanghai to wear on the streets of Stockholm. Will I be looked at? Maybe, but I don’t care because I find it incredibly cute.

Gwen Lu makes me want to cut my hair! A Chinese version of Agyness Deyn but tougher. I think it is awesome that more and more Chinese models finally get more recognition in international media, especially taking up more space in important fashion magazines such as US Vogue and French Vogue. Grazia is a more wellspread magazine which covers many more different readerships than Vogue, so it’s awesome that a Chinese model such as Gwen Lu could gain some wellearned attention.
Hey there -
PHA mask

August 29th, 2010Fashion/Beauty/TrendsFriday evening I went to a clinic here in Stockholm and got my first PHA peeling, a chemical peeling. Active substances are applied to the the skin to rejuvenate and improve the skin. My face is *glowing* (not exaggerating), even if one pimple popped up after the facial.
I wonder what those PHA facials are called in Chinese? Can someone tell me? When I go to China I want to get regular facials as it’s much cheaper there than here in Sweden. I am planning to do a total makeover in China; fix my eyebrows, dye my hair, make my eyelashes longer, manicure, pedicure, whole body peeling, etc.
LUXURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok this was a shallow post. But I really miss being pampered at SPAs in China, one of my favourite activities.

August 26th, 2010Fashion/Beauty/TrendsI am planning to dye my hair this fall, to brown. Kind of creepy because I have always had very very very black hair. My bf asked me why I never comb my hair and I told him that I like the look of being “heroine chic”, but then I looked next to me where my usual chocolate box was placed and directly took back my statement.







This is kind of embarassing, but the thought of becoming 23 (the final age to do stupid and shallow stuff like this) this winter makes up for it
I am actually amazed, seriously AMAZED at how important contrasts means to a photo!!! I kind of look really good on these photos which I unfortunately do not in real life (for real), I often wish that life itself had more contrasts…that’s why I love Shanghai so much I guess…

I love it!!! Maybe in a more discreet colour such as nude or grey as the design is already quite unique and eyepopping….But oh how I love this jacket, can be found at the new brand Empire Blanc in Beijing. No idea about the price though…
Love it!
