Awesome post! I've never been to Beijing, but this makes we want to go right away. Lovely cheongsams, and what a fun shopping trip to find them!

Suntiger - the sparkly tree is my Christmas decoration inspiration for this year. I love it too.

Xtabay - it was definitely a wonderful place to visit. My friends said that Shanghai is even better and were trying to convince me to miss my flight and go with them to Shanghai!

Another sparkly tree lover. ⚡️

You look beautiful in every outfit.
I love your souvenir dresses, so special. The colors & patterns are great.

And I love your Sanrio T.
The food & scenery so yummy, too.
I smiled & actually thought of your Sanrio stuff recently when I got the My Melody Furla.

Honestly I hardly know what to say Bijou, lovely photos, lovely story, lovely outfits! Thank you for sharing your adventure. It's unlikely I'll take a trip like this but having even a glimpse of it is delightful!

Opaline - that is the cutest Furla ever - so glad it went to a good home!

Isabel - that is so very kind of you to say. Sometimes in life you get these unexpected treats.
