It is absolutely freezing in Shanghai last week and this week, with temperatures dropping to -2 celcius. It even snowed yesterday, and it hardly ever snows in Shanghai! The chill is painful - it eats right into your bones and snap-freezes your fingers if they're exposed. Ugh. In anticipation of glorious summer, I've got a pair of Jimmy Choo turquoise jewel sandals! The barely-there sandals will be brilliant in the sweltering heat of Shanghai's summer, and I really like the cheery colours...
