Bad News

Just found out today that China also restricts blogspot.com 

along with facebook, tumblr, bloglovin, youtube and many many more of my everyday sources. 

This means my bargain updates must be put aside until I reach Hong Kong on the 3rd of March 

unless some breakthrough occurs while I'm there!

See you on the other side!

jane, must have

peacoat w/ additional zipper closure, ribbed sides and cuffs 

purchased at (this room) boutique in taipei, taiwan

brand: jane, must have

 purchased for $72 

retail $2880 NT = $99 USD

discount $2304 NT = $79 USD

bargain $2100 NT = $72 USD 

note: this one took me a while to decide if i really wanted it. i did want it but wasn't going to settle for its original discount of 20% off. the additional $204 NT convinced me i needed it. i think everyone needs a grey peacoat. what i love about this one is the huge pockets, extra zipper detail, and most of all the knit ribbed sides and arm cuffs that distinguishes it from any other pea coat. yay.
