what i’m in the mood for right now. i’ve been looking up and down for the perfect bomber jacket and diamond pattern thermal. also feeling nostalgic for some black and white nike mixed with some newer additions to the closet. ahem like these dreamy jbrand white leather skinnies.

Supreme diamond pattern bomber jacket, Nike t shirt, J Brand super skinny leather pants, Rayban wayfarer sunglasses, Yesstyle leather clutch, Neff wool beanie, Alexander Wang Liya high heel pumps

the aqua green colors of this dress are pretty amazing. it’s textured too which gives the dress additional depth. the silhouette is sorta boxy which i like because it’s not too body conscious. i think alone it looks sorta doll-like but paired with leather really stands out.

alpha vs chloe

gotta say i love how chloe reinterpreted the MA-1 jacket for s/s12.  the original Alpha MA-1 jacket comes in three colors: sage green, blue and black. the trademark orange lining is for emergency situations when the jacket is turned inside out. utility. that’s what i’m all about right now. the jacket lining is also really cool, another idea i’m toying with.

i’ve been internet-less for almost a week now. not very blog friendly, no no. i love my new jumper. it sorta feels like a costume. it’s huge and can barely fit under any of my winter coats.

new shoesies gifted from NastyGal. they are aptly named the perfect platform. why? cuz they are just that. height plus that super weightlessness that make walking in them clunk-free. *TIP* buy half a size smaller–these run big!

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.
