Hutong Cutey/Chic Winter

_-3-21

Sometimes the key to style is appropriateness; not elegance or fashion.  This look is perfect for walking through winter in the hutongs.  At the same time, Alice Liu looks like she just walked out of a Salvation Army with the most unique items she could dig up: a suede toggle coat and pleated jeans.  A Beijinger, she has spent much of her life in London and has now returned to her hometown to make her fortune as a writer and cat breeder.  In order to achieve the former, she has just taken a position at Danwei, the top English site covering Chinese media and urban life.  For the latter, she is now allowing her non-spade female cat roam free in the environs of Nanluoguxiang.  Interestingly, this cat herself is the product of a hutong romance between stray cats.

    would it be possible to post also bigger versions of the pics if you click on them? it would be really great to see all the details of the outfits!

    The fact is that I don’t really know how to do anything to manipulate my sight whether it is adding ads or offering the ability to expand the pics. However, I would also say that though this is a great idea I am somewhat reluctant to add the function since my pics are already being taken by so many websites. If they were doubled the size, they would be making it in to magazines. I don’t know.
