China...


Top: Maison Scotch | Vest: Forever 21 (old) | Pants: Paige Denim (this is another great BF fit) | Heels: Christian Louboutin | Bag: Prada | Sunnies: Prada | Necklace: Stella and Dot c/o | Bracelets: Poshlocket, J.Crew, J.Crew, Stella and Dot c/o | Watch: Skagen
I wish I had memory cards packed full of adventurous photos from my recent trip to China, but... I actually have none (minus a few iphone snaps I shared on instagram). There was not enough time in the day. You see, a couple of months ago an amazing opportunity presented itself that was too good to turn down. I've recently joined the design team at DownEast Basics, spearheading the Modbe line and the DownEast accessory line. It's an intimidating position to fill but I couldn't be more thrilled about it and I can't wait to share more with you.

Click here to see if you won the giveaway. Thanks for reading :)
