I just came back a few days ago from a lovely trip to Yosemite! It was very relaxing, fun, and a great way to kick off 2015! Here is a montage of images from the drive there, and the first full day. Luckily, Charlie captured some shots during our trip! Visit his photography site for more awesome photos.

Bag TBDress/ Dress Shanghai Boutique/ Shoes DAPHNE/ Bracelet Pandora
Last Shanghai September outfit post! I’m sure you’ve read your fill of Shanghai rom all my posts of the past month…. 😉 Until my next visit I guess!
This outfit is another style that might not be seen everywhere in America, but is definitely popular in Shanghai and other Asian cities! It is super girly, almost a spin off of “princess” style. I love light pinks, and this outfit is pink from head to toe!

One of my favorite hobbies is reading books! A lot of people might not know this about me, but I grew up reading all kinds of different novels. In the past few years, I’ve done a lot more exploration of translated cultural novels. Some of my favorite authors are Haruki Murakami, Wei Hui, and Ruth Ozeki.
I always spend a lot of time browsing through bookstores in Shanghai. On second thought, visiting local bookstores is a constant motif through out my travels, because I think there is almost no better place to read a book about a specific place for the first time than the city itself! Shanghai, like many other asian cities has a lot of various “bookstores” in the residential neighborhoods. However, these are actually more of student bookstores- selling mainly textbooks, workbooks, and stationary. Most of the bigger bookstores can be found in shopping districts and the upper levels of malls.

Here are some pieces picked right off the streets of Shanghai! I bought the leopard print kimono cape in a wholesale market. They sell this with all sorts of different patterns, like camo-print, stars, hearts and polka dots. I really liked the leopard print because I have a lot of black clothing it would look good with.
