Looking More Grown-Up: Wardrobe Picks for 30-somethings

Now that I’m well into my 30s, I’m beginning to get tired of all the casual styles that seem to be hitting the magazines and stores as of late.  The fashion world, especially within the blogging community, is not too friendly to anyone over 30.

Watching Chinese costume dramas and comedies as a little girl, and later, studying Chinese history in university, Shanghai was always portrayed as a glamorous, sort of like Paris or New York in the west.  Though China had its problems in the middle of the twentieth century, it has changed a great deal over the past […]
