Hello Upper East Xujiahuer! This is your one and only source into the scandalous life of Shanghai's èlite.
Cover story of the day, The Interview that Ilaria Lonigro made for me about the latest trend of Eyelash extensions!
Actually for the good tip I have to thank more than a friend... First of all I have to say that in the beginning I was skeptical about it. When my BFF Rebecca (from Blogbloodyblog) came to Shanghai she did the extensions and I wasn't so interested in that, maybe 'cause her Nordic features were already so perfect that even with the eyelash I couldn't see that much difference! But after seeing many chinese girls with long lashes I started to desire them! I went once and I never stopped until I came back to Italy... Now I miss them so much!
Ilaria Lonigro did this interview for D-La Repubblica, (website of the famous Newspaper La Repubblica) about my favourite place for eyelash extension. (p.s. Kristine just told me that they've opened also a branch in NY...Why Italy is so slow!!!)... Anyway, the interview is in Italian but all the eyelashes's details are on the  Browhaus website.

This is it for now,
 xoxo

ch ch ch ch ch changes...

Finally I decided to switch the language of this blog, firstable 'cause my English is getting worst since my roommate is back to her life in NY and I don't have many chance to speak with her as before, secondable 'cause I only have 13 followers and (exeption for my bff Kristine, Lucia and Rebi that are multilanguages) all the followers are Italians...
I will write in a Language that is more suitable for me and that will permits my best own expression! As my own expression is so relevant!!! ahahah... Anyway, since I love to discuss about everything and the purpose of blogs is to express something to someone I would like to try if using my own Language will be better or not (maybe for my hits! hopefully!)...Btw I will continue to excercise my English writing some post! :)

吳季剛/ Jason Wu

吳季剛, better known as Jason Wu, is a Taiwanese American fashion designer. He's only 27 but he has already achieved many accomplishments. His collections always remind the time when womens were polished an styled to perfection. I really like the lace's details and the delicacy of the shapes of his new a/w 2011-12 collection. 

Black velvet and red dragon

Ralph Lauren, for his 2011-2012 A/W Collection took inspiration from the Chinese world: silk and dragon embroideries match perfectly velvet and jade accessories. With simple suits and old style Qipaos he recalls the allure of an ancient China.

 

Why I miss 上海！！！

It's been almost 2 weeks and I still cannot stop thinking about Shanghai... 

So what I've decided is to list some of the things that I miss the most... Starting backward, (from the last to the first thing that I miss more) this list made me realize that paradoxically even the worst thing makes me feel nostalgic and desirous of going back!!!

10. Clearly I' m going to say:  People who spits when you are walking

09. I've never understood the purpose of the many car horns... 

08. The Smog that hides the beautiful view

07. Traffic jam between 16:30-19:30 (especially in Panyu road)

06. Smell of smoke everywhere after a saturday night

05. What I miss: travelling facilities

04. Chinese food 

03. Cheap nice Sushi

02. Fake eyelashes

01. 3 euro for an amazing Manicure

Ai wei wei's work
