I’ve been settling in! In New York! I’m loving this city. It reminds me a lot of Beijing: the subway is jungle of unexplored adventures, the streets are dominated by people strutting off determinedly towards their goal (even if it is their second brunch of the day), and no one really gives a shit what others think of them. It’s Grand Sass-Central Station up in here.

I’m really stoked to introduce a Taiwanese brand, Jump From Paper, who make these incredibly cute 2D-looking bags and accessories. One is a backpack that my laptop fits into perfectly, and the other one I’m holding on the couch (forgive the smoozy posing, I do that whenever I don’t know how to pose) hugs my iPad like a love-glove. The first time I saw their bags, I remember I was in art class in high school, and a friend was showing me this spread from a magazine. I was like ‘Damn, are you sure that’s not photoshopped on?’ Three years later, I can confirm that they’re not.

Winter sees me retreat into a happy cave of all-black outfits. Because 1) no sun is there to inspire me to wear any colors, and 2) I have this artsy fartsy idea that all black makes me look like an extra edgy Asian. IRL, I probably look like an emo metallic-music lover.

On another note, I’ve finished all project work for uni for this semester. So I’ll be working closely with the KNEON team on the next issue, and also…going to Iceland tomorrow!

Lots of touristing around Covent Garden, some perfume tasting, chocolate sampling and shoe-ogling at United Nude, while also making it to some shoes. Also I need to do this hairstyle more – it helps to cancel out my granny personality.
