i call this look: rebel school boy meets yeti. i bought these shorts last year and they’ve been a staple ever since. i like how they are longer than what i usually wear. i’ve also been playing with the idea of a jacket inside a jacket. much easier said than done, but i think this works. it’s sorta messy but orderly.

this will be my first chinese new year in china and i’m pretty excited to see what it’s gonna be like. nic and i went to the store today to get ‘supplies’. apparently it’s going to be hard to get around town starting sunday. most people will be closed until February, likely visiting family and taking some much deserved time off. as for me, no family this year but i’ll probably be corralled into an expat dinner with friends.

i love houndstooth suddenly. especially in this deep dark forest green. i’m also totally in love with the ‘suit’ seen everywhere this fall and spring. this is very prep, but more sarah michelle gellar than reese if you know what i mean…
skirt from romwe.com; jacket from www.taobao.com (they only ship within China)

this sweater is a little inappropriate for such cold weather but i don’t care! it’s super sexy but i think in a very subtle way. It’s also great layered on top of a tshirt, giving new dimension to the ol’ sweater and tee duo. so sorry for the disappearing act; i’ve been sick. after an amazing (and very gluttonous) visit to France I caught a bad airplane cold. (of course). runny nose. congestion. fatigue. that being said, i’ve still been creeping out at night to see friends etc…likely compounding said symptoms. sigh.

goodbye 2011, hello 2012. despite finding the whole reminiscing of yesteryear to be sorta cheesy, I will do exactly that now. just cuz i like hearing my own thoughts….and it is cathartic in a way. 2011 meant cutting my hair off. moving to china. moving out of china. finally moving back to china. for love. now i’m in paris with him walking around a city i haven’t visited since i was 15 and reveling in how strange life is. how awesome it is.

acclimating

ok! so week one is over in beijing. I have to say that despite the bone-chilling cold, I like Beijing much more in the winter. There are less people on the roads and the city feels a little less polluted. Plus coming from a cold place, i find myself acclimating much easier to this than the the almost 50 degree weather of the summer.

i’m heading back to beijing this coming Monday…it’s so weird. 2 months. what seemed originally like eternity has turned into a second. a flicker, really. i’ve just had enough time to go see all my good friends and eat as much fresh food as I can. As much as I’m looking forward to returning, I’m a little weary of the pollution/lack of edible food/language barrier. but alas, if something isn’t challenging, it’s not worth doing, right?
oh yes i did…
