Oxford Circus is packed with tourists as usual. Dazzling Christmas lights hanging high up in between the streets, on the walls of buildings and above the shibuya crossing of London decorated with bits of London rain. Time flies couldn't be a more appropriate term.
I am grateful my best friends traveled all the way across the Atlantic to visit me with love. Spending time with you guys was the best time I had so far! I hope you guys enjoyed your stay and hopefully I was a good host! Oh and New Moon was HOT! enough said!
Love from NY: Priceless

Beyond Retro
Wearing 2nd hand clothes for most Asian people may seem weird and unsanitary, but it is actually a great way to find one of pieces at a bargain. The vintage market in London is very established but it takes quite of luck and time digging around in order for you to find your match.
London is the hub for vintage stores! Beyond Retro is one of the popular ones located right down the street from Liberty. They offer an amazing selection and items are neat, clean and sorted by color. The prices are also very reasonable comparing to those in NY and here are a few pieces I picked up from the store.
Vintage multi color sweater: 14 pounds
Vintage red plaid Liz Claiborne tweed jacket: 20 pounds. I had to cut out some of the shoulder pads to make it less bulky. But overall a rather simple process.

Last but not least, DIY fur vest made by me!! This took me forever to make by hand and I was adjusting along the way. Now it needs some lining. Hopefully I will get to that when I have some spare time to breathe!
Happy thanks giving everyone :)
