I know this is old but it always makes me laugh:

Copycats?

If you have been keeping track of Project Runway, then you must agree with me to say that the dress that Andrae & Daniel designed for the Banana Republic challenge in season 2 (right) pretty much resembles the dress that Alexandra designed in season 1 (left), also for the Banana Republic challenge. And, the guys even won the challenge but Alexandra didn't!

Does It Get Any Straighter?

Check this out:

It's a coin-operated hair straightening hot iron machine which roughly costs about US$1.85 per use. It uses professional grad GHD tongs. There has been 500 units already of this placed in clubs and gyms throughout the UK. I can't wait to see these in men's restrooms.

Green is the Theme

Check out the interiors of this yoga center:



"Comprised of three yoga rooms, four massage rooms, a meditation space, and several other communal facilities, all designed to inspire the most amazing yoga experience, the center provides the perfect harmony between space and practice."

It's called Y + Yoga Center. They have 2 branches here in Shanghai but the photos above show the one in Xintiandi (2/F Two Corporate Avenue, 202 Hubin Road).

Coolness

Finally I can access my blogspot again. I can't believe that my last entry was a few weeks back. Anyway, the weather has drastically changed already here in Shanghai. It has now become officially cold. Because of that, I have begun assembling my fall/winter collection. I've started to buy scarves and coats. Last sunday, I've bought my first-ever coat made of 78% wool. Haven't worn it yet though. But for the past few days, I have made my scarves as basic essentials of my daily wardrobe. Here is a pic of myself before going out last friday:
