Big NEWS!

Big news and mostly photos.

After several great years in Shanghai, it's time for me to leave. Although I started this blog as a way to force myself to get out, experience the city and find something lovely, it grew into something I couldn't even imagine. I hope this blog will provide a bit of useful information and assist travelers, those who are new to the city and those who are simply curious about Shanghai.


As a final goodbye, I'm dumping a ton of cute photos that I took throughout the years. I hope you enjoy this last look at Cute Shanghai.

Stay Real Cafe at IAPM

Shanghai has seen a trend of fashion brands branching out to cafes and restaurants. Within the past year or two, we've seen Vivienne Westwood Cafe, Muji Cafe and  Gucci Cafe, to name a few. 

Taiwanese street fashion brand, Stay Real, is always hip and now offers us a cool place to grab a sweet or a cup of coffee after shopping with them.

cafe TTOMA

I stumbled upon a new cafe on my way to Zoo Coffee. 

Let's enjoy a cup at cafe TTOMA!

Cows in Shanghai!

Shanghai, the city that never fails to surprise me, has done it again. Inside a top luxury mall, I stumbled onto a piece of greenery that flooded me with feelings from my small home town in. I hope you had a chance to see this exhibit in person, if you didn't, please enjoy the photos with me!

Review: Nanchatte Seifuku

Recently, at Mao Live House, a seifuku (sailor uniform) event was held which gave me the opportunity I was looking for to finally buy the school uniform of my dream. I quickly logged onto Taobao, the god of the Chinese online shopping world, and put in an order. Read more for my taobao review and pictures from the event!

Review: Too Cool for School Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack

Hello my spooky cuties! It's finally October and Halloween will be here before you know it. I love spooky and creepy things as much as I love cute things, so when I saw Too Cool for School's Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack, I had to buy it.

Jump past the cut to see my review of this ghoulish product.

Taobao Shoe Review

I love cute things,  a great bargain and quality goods. Unfortunately it's really difficult to find shoes that hit all three of my criteria (read my lolita shoe review!), but recently I've had amazing luck and purchased an adorable pair of shoes from Taobao that are sure to delight you as well.
