Kids, if any of you are reading this, please be aware that this is a bad example. I speak from years of experience. I have a self-diagnosed addiction to television. Over the years, I thought my addiction would gradually come to an end as teen dramas – the likes of Gossip Girl, 90210 and the Hills – die out, and that I wouldn't start to watch anything new. Boy, I was wrong. Now this is one urban myth.

As a student I thought it was borderline acceptable to watch so much TV as long as I didn't fail anything. Then came life of the working girl (supposedly). I knew this behaviour had to stop there and then. Elementary was an exception, who can resist Sherlock’s genius and British accent? I love a good detective drama, too. Under the influence, this is my Sherlock outfit – there is just something about that almost monochrome palette and that almost doctor’s bag that give a certain private eye vibe.

這是典型的反面教材，兒童切勿模仿。我的電視癮問題存在已久，久沒治愈 ，這是我多年來的經驗之談。本來我天真的以為隨著《緋聞女孩》、《90210》、《好萊塢女孩》等屬於（我）青少年時代的產物逐一完結，同時間不再開始看新的電視劇，我的電視癮就可以慢慢痊愈。但如此被動的方式怎可能有效，然後，就沒有然後了。

一直認為作為一個學生，看太多的電視劇也是勉強可以接受的，盡了學生本分就可以。後來開始職業生涯就終於醒覺，也是時候跟電視癮道別。當然凡事總有例外，最近開始追看《福爾摩斯》，Sherlock的頭腦和英式發音實在讓人著迷。熏陶下，我的穿著也有所改變。這天我的裝束跟福爾摩斯碰巧神似，硬是覺得黑白灰沈實色調和這個仿醫生包具有偵探格調。

Just chilling

Southbank, lovely Faberge egg, Hyde Park

Enjoying lazy hazy British summer(?) days with my friends ever since Easter holiday commenced. I don't mean to rave about the weather all the time, please bear with me. No wonder why I hardly get any work done with Southbank just steps away from my humble abode. 

The Paradox

Where do you draw the line? This is no contemplative thoughts of life but it happens to everyone. Going out is no fun without getting drunk. But sometimes it is so easy to get beyond drunk that you would forget all the fun you had. Which leads us back to the beginning – what is the point of having fun and then forgetting about it? (Well surely amazing friends will be there to remind you about all of the embarrassing moments while you are still hungover, but still.) Paradox. Paradox.

This is something I wore for a random night out in Hong Kong. Never could pin down what me and my easily distracted and spontaneous friends would end up doing prior to the evening. But what you wear doesn’t have to be a hit or miss. What I have learnt is to have both the appallingly casual and extremely dressy elements, then you’re good to go. 

I have had my eyes on this YSL Chyc clutch in Paris but ended up buying it in London, wanted to see if they had more colours. But no, still this boring brown. As I have been told by the sales associates (Paris and in London) that this clutch flies off their shelves. I (brainlessly giving in) bought the boring brown. On the bright side, boring goes with everything.

The most comfortable pair of black heels I have. Look how old and battered it is.

Fall

I am back in Hong Kong after two joyous months in Londontown. In love with the weather here, breezy and not too cold. Not looking forward to Christmas - not only because I still have nothing to do but apparently it is going to be the coldest Christmas eve since I-don't-know-when. 


Finally getting my pink slash purple slash grey hair today (spoilers), hopefully it will be more fashion than disaster. If only I had blonde hair then I would most certainly get dip dyes. But bleaching dark (or black) hair is just ridiculous - takes ages, colour washes out in two weeks and not to mention it will kill my hair, so extensions it will be. Fingers crossed.


Burberry jacket, Monki chiffon blouse, red cardy Uggs because it is the most comfy pair of flat boots to rest my feet from the long-haul flight, arty ring and bracelet both YSL.
