People have the misconception that China is a very horrible place. Truth be told, I sometimes like it way better than Hong Kong. Yes, the people there can kind of be rude and love to shove and don't really have any manners and they may have bad etiquette, BUT can't you say the same about people in Hong Kong too? How many times have you been on the MTR during rush hour and have had a bunch of people shove into the train where there is physically no more space for them to even be on it?
Anyways, just thought I'd share my perspective on China. There's so much more to it that people don't know about. And having lived in China for at least 16 years of my life, I thought I'd put my "knowledge" to good use and blog about it.
My family recently moved to Shanghai, and over the winter break (yes that was ages ago, and I am only now blogging about it), I visited the Lolo Love Vintage store after hearing about it from
H&M's fashion video (side note: what kind of name is Leaf Greener...?).
My boyfriend visited me during winter break so of course I forced him to find the store with me. After searching for hours over a period of 2 days, we finally found it. Tucked inside one of Shanghai's tiny art communities, which is going to be/has been destroyed, on 696 Weihai Road, is this hidden gem. It has now
moved to Wuyuan Lu. The shop was opened by Chinese stylist & make-up artist Lolo who has worked with models Emma Pei, Fei Fei Sun and Shu Pei Qin. My initial impression was that the store was in a super dingy area, but upon entering, it was quite cute. I think I'll let the photos speak for themself now!
Both photos taken by my boyfriend. I was pretty lazy and didn't feel like getting properly dressed up, hence my ugly face & glasses.
