baby... it's yours

Sachin + Babi sweater courtesy of Sachin + Babi, Cheap Monday jeans, Céline sandals, Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses

I'm back from Shanghai and to say that I've learned a lot is an understatement. There's a Chinese saying that goes, "Nice shoes will take you nice places." I had this in mind when I purchased these sandals from the Céline store at IFC in Pudong. I'm normally not the type of person to spend a lot of money on expensive clothes and shoes. I mean... I have a few nice things. But this purchase was very special to me. It marks a new starting point in my life. A point which, when I look back on, I will think "Wow, remember when I thought buying those shoes was such a big deal?"

There's this joke (but it's not really a joke) about how I want to be the Asian Oprah. I have another book coming out next month. Preview here. But really, what makes Oprah great? She gives away free stuff!

So with that said, Sachin + Babi is giving away this unbelievably cozy sweater (retails $305) to one lucky reader.

The contrast of those sparkling brand new little perfect beauties that are your new Céline shoes against the ripped hem of your jeans is just, uhhhhh <3

Anddd I'd love to have a shot at winning the Sachin sweater! :)

Mandy said...

the sweater looks effortlessly chic, i love how the nude colour is paired with black. the design is minimal but adding anything more to it would just be an overkill. you look amazing in this post by the way (:

Sewon: The weather in Shanghai is warmer than San Francisco right now. My project went well in the sense that I have a much clearer picture of how to proceed further. Deadline is still Feb/ March. So I'll probably be back early next year.

So in love with this look, minimalism at it's best. The rip in your jeans adds just the right amount of quirk.
