Wish everyone a great move into Autumn and Winter! This festival marks the changing of seasons, and celebrates the night when the moon is the roundest, largest, and brightest!
I ate mooncakes with my family as we do every year, and the sweetness was delicious! I love sweets. I think lotus mooncakes are my favorite ^^

With the coming of the new school year is a flurry of schoolwork, friends, and the readiness to enjoy my last year of high school in Palo Alto. Even with all the California sunshine and excitement that comes with the senior year of high school, I find myself sometimes daydreaming of my summer adventures in a city on the other side of the world- Shanghai.
With this lingering attachment in mind, I decided to dedicate this month of blogging to the wonderful city of Shanghai, which I’ve always considered my true “home.” I only spent a short two weeks there this summer, which was barely enough time to catch up with friends and family, go on a weekend trip with my cousins, and get all my shopping and modeling in. This left me with no time to blog about my adventures!
With this, I introduce “Shanghai September”, my theme for this month.
I will be posting some photos from my shoots there, recreations of Shanghainese street fashions, and various food photos and selfies during my adventures. I will also be sharing some of the traditions I engage in every time I visit- including visits to special cafes, great places to shop, cultural books to read, and unique things to do and foods to try in the city dubbed “Pearl of the Orient.”

“A New York minute is an instant. Or as Johnny Carson once said, it’s the interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn. “
Click “see more” to see some pictures taken as I continued on my New York Trip! I am standing right in the heart of Times Square; a dream for busy crowd lovers, a nightmare for those who enjoy some peace and quiet.

I toured New York on a somewhat broken heart. My afternoon in central park was spent in- ironically, a floral sweetheart dress.
The cause of my distress was from the feeling of separation, via distance. I had spent my last two weeks in business camp with the perfect perfect boy, in Boston, but that happiness didn’t follow suit as I packed up my bags and left for New York. The separation during those few days felt the worst. I was still in the East Coast!! I was only a few hours away distance wise, so close, yet so far. And I knew that by the end of the week, I would be again packing up my bags- this time for the West Coast, which felt like a death sentence in terms of distance.
