Dash of Color from HK

On Beijing’s charming Gulou Avenue, which means “drum tower” avenue, she was on a trip up from Hong Kong. I love the contrasting colors and the subtly Chinese style padded jacket mixed with the Burberry scarf. The outfit seems very appropriate for a young lady from Hong Kong. However, with temperatures rising there in recent years, probably only one or two days in a year call for this outfit. Thus, a trip to Beijing is needed.

What a great break from the legions of synthetic puffy coats – often with fake fur.
