Like Tyra always says be"fierce".
I have to say- that could be my catch phrase, doing things for free and saying yes or maybe whenever opportunity strikes sure does add up in the long run.
In March, Timeout will run a feature about fashion bloggers and yours truly was picked to be included in the piece! While I might not love being interviewed about myself and trying to pose for picture the opportunity was A. super flattering and B. too good to pass up. The photoshoot took place last Friday and it was actually a lot of fun. Selena, their fashion editor is super nice and it was great to chat with Timothy and Meijia after. Meijia even posted some photos of us here. Can't wait to see how the piece turns out!

Do you do New Year resolutions? I made a list earlier this month, but I'd be kind of horrified if I had to share it or if someone found it and read it. While I won't share what was exactly on mine, I will say that for the most part it wasn't too superficial. Shocking for a fashion blogger, but true!
One of my goals for the new year is to raise more money for charity than I did last year and/or volunteer depending on my free time. So far, I've only managed to do something small this year, I made a micro finance loan with Kiva. I know it's kind of dorky and some people shutter at the word charity like you're going to pick their pocket, but consider doing something small this year. And don't worry, I'm not going to get all preachy, if you are interested in finding out how it works click here.
If I can get 20 people to join and lend with the Shanghai Style lending team I'll make two more new loans. The best part about it? You can choose to reloan your original loan once it's paid back, so you can keep helping others help themselves!

It's almost Chinese New Year! My lovely sister Cindy will be visiting which may mean lots of photo posts in the next two weeks if we are out and about.
It also means that with the holiday I'll have sometime to proofread old posts and check that links still work. If you've noticed any mistakes, please let me know. I'm trying to make le blog a little bit more professional, so I've even created a logo. Looks like I can finally design some business cards!

A few weeks ago I dropped by the Jumen Lu MARY CHING studio to chat with creative director and founder, Alison Mary Ching Yeung, about their new space. Check out the feature on AnyWearStyle by clicking here!
The feature made me wishful, namely for a better camera and a budget to add some pizazz to my pad.
