We finally have some "real" summer weather in San Francisco and I couldn't wait to pull out the bright yellows and oranges in my closet. My necklace is by an Italian designer and you can view more here: http://www.la-margot.com/

Dress: Vivinko III
Necklace: margot
Shoes: Banana Republic

brick red

I can't get over the color of this design by As Know As (a Japanese brand and one of my sale purchases in Shanghai). This wasn't a spring/summer outfit due to the chilly May/June weather in San Francisco, but I love this shade for a winter or cooler weather dress.

More inspiration from Cici.

Lolo Love Vintage

Can you tell I'm having a nostalgic day missing Shanghai? The Former French Concession is such an ideal setting for vintage boutiques. Read more about Lolo Love Vintage here:

I recently modeled for photographer Grace Kim. This is a snapshot from the installation in progress at her studio. Check out her web site here: http://www.artgracekim.com/

favorite summer dress

This dress by III VIVINIKO is an absolute favorite. Both the lining and the dress itself are just a little transparent and remind me of watercolors. If I had an unlimited budget to spend on a China-based label, III VIVINIKO would probably be the one.
