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.

so. week one of new years in china. first night, sky is illuminated by fireworks–literally. the streets are deserted. no honking. no hawking. no screaming. just the cackling and booming of pyrotechnics. it’s sorta romantic in a way. me and nic got overly dressed up and went for new years night dinner right across the street. some duck. some veggies. some seafood. and of course beer. oh yum.

second set of resolutions: stay healthy. be more in love. meditate more. start making stuff. read more. blog more.

wearing Zara white shaggy jacket (similar one here), Vintage eBay motorcycle jacket, Romwe Metal Accent Collar blouse (similar one here), Taobao. com shorts, Sam Edelman Zoe Booties, Michael Kors MK5055 Boyfriend watch

    I like this idea of a jacket on top of a jacket, will try it soon. While I was in the Philippines we had so many tourists from China because of their time off Chinese New Year, it made think of you a lot. Skype soon when I get back to Barcelona, I am stopping in London for a week xx

    I love the way you have layered the shaggy jacket over the leather – something I would have never have thought to do, though that may be due to the fact that it would just be way too hot here even in winter! Great blog, great inspiration.
