A few months ago I met French interior designer Stephanie Sebban and featured her beautiful Parisian-chic home in That’s Shanghai and on SSF too (click). From her house Sebban hosted many private sal...
The long awaited arrival of summer is marked by many things – late sidewalk dinners, picnics in the park and Saturdays by the pool. And two more things. Gross Chinese icecream (cliccccck). And ...
Denim is the most democratic of clothing – a unifier. That said, I love to see how people style jeans differently. A perfect blank [blue] canvas. Quite the foxy couple photographed outside of C...

A designer told me once that jewelry is the most personal fashion statement you can make. I think she may have forgotten about tattoos. This girl wanted to get her first tattoo at Boobies so that she...
Wow, what a fashion spectacle DAFF was! I met so many wonderful, interesting people – and a hellofalot’ohipsters – yesterday. Here are a few looks. More to come later. This babe got...
When was the last time you’ve seen tie dye? These kids are actually boyfriend/girlfriend, keeping the ‘couples who dress alike’ trend going strong. I like the idea of wearing tie dy...
I went to the X-Games yesterday. Gotta admit, it was a bit of a letdown in terms of a fashion extravaganza that it was last year (click here!), but I need to remember that not everyone is like me: mo...
While I was away in the US, my man shot some nice festival fashion footage for SSF at the Midi Festival last weekend. I think he did a pretty killer job rounding up the crazies. Clearly there was som...
Here’s another street style shot taken on Shaanxi Lu. This girl is a fashion student who studied in London, which clearly influenced her personal style.
I love the way this woman wears her flair jeans. First up, jeans usually don’t look that great on Chinese girls, who are much slimmer and less curvy than the founders of denim, Americans. I th...
I’ve been noticing a lot more London looks walking around the city. I think the rise partly can be contributed to how many Chinese kids are studying abroad in London, as opposed to France where...

While researching for a story for the cover story of the magazine’s May issue (shhh you’re just going to have to wait for that one…), I found myself in Brocade Country on Julu Lu. It’s exactly ...
Timothy Parent and I had a great day at Moganshan Lu. The government has not bulldozed the graffiti wall yet, which is a relief. Man that wall is cool, and provides nice portrait backgrounds, if I do...

Bikini waxing scares the shit out of me. I was scarred, literally, during my first time and have since been very wary of waxing down there. Eventually I’ll muster up the courage to go again. Wh...
When the sun comes out, so do the amateur models, suitcases of clothes and an army of photographers to conduct photoshoots for Taobao stores on Shanghai’s prettiest streets. Dongping Lu and Tia...
On Saturday Timothy (read more here) and I were scootering down Shaoxing Lu high off sunshine, blue sky and memories made at two local markets/fairs earlier in the day. I saw these loafers on the sid...
My man and I got exceptionally spoiled by the Marriott Sanya a few weeks ago. I must admit that Sanya only lives up to reputation of being the ‘Hawaii of China’ within the well-manicured ...
Work lead me to cross paths with Kimberly Wong, a marketing specialist who spends her free time designing jewelry for her line Cukimber and, in a remarkable demonstration of altruism and passion, als...
Opened by four cool cat fashion insiders from Hong Kong, the designer eyewear boutique Coterie is the illest new kid on the Julu Lu block. The partners are buddy buddy with Julu Lu’s reigning k...
With a petite figure, button nose, round face and cap-shaped coif, it’s easy to see how Audrey Zhao earns her nickname “mushroom” (mogu). I met Audrey this weekend at the Designer...
Thanks so much to Yuri for including me in HeeJ’s street style roundup in their latest e-zine! What a treat. Click here to spot moi. On that rainy day I was wearing my custom-made Isabel Marant...
