Almost forgotten…

Just found these pictures on my external hard drive! They were taken around the same time last year with my lovelies Kerstin from Mademoiselleroy and Van Ahn from Chopstick panorama when we went to a market in London… kinda can’t remember which one it was… was it Borough Market?

Anyways. It made me miss London a bit and especially all my friends who I left behind when I moved to China. I found many great new friends in Beijing too but it’s sad that you can’t have them all around you at all times.

In this regard a big hug to my friends in London – I miss you! <3

the stables

The stables market in Camden. One of my favourite places to go on a sunday – when it’s buzzing with life and you can buy a lot of selfmade gems from local designers and fresh food from all over the globe. It’s a shame it has become so commercial over the last couple of years. Individualist jewellery makers and designers make way for mass produced plastic bags from China…

Go check out the far end of the stables and try not to get caught to early because there are some nicer (and cheaper) stalls down the end where less tourists make it! ;)

Ever been to Camden yourself?

sunday brunch

Aloha!

Brrrrr – it’s getting coooold outside! These are still some pictures from another sunday morning at Breakfast Cafe with my lovely Sara (who I miss incredibly!) from warmer times. I went for the avocado and bacon bloomer this time - awesomest! Although the guys on the next table made me pretty jelous – pancake, banana and bacon with maple sirup? Sounds so wrong and so good. Next time.

BTW. I was wondering – you know that I am working in an office atm, however they are not too strict on the dresscode (aka I don’t have to wear costumes and pencil skirts). So I was wondering if anyone has any tips for good blogs etc to get some inspiration for good work outfits? And would you like to see what I wear?

Let me know in the comments, cheers!

día de los muertos

Boo!
On Friday was “Día de los Muertos”, the Day of the Dead.
It is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. People built little altars to commemorate the dead, decorated with flowers and “calaveras de azúcar” ("sugar skulls"). So I dressed up as one!
Unfortunately I was in a rush to get to the party so I couldn’t take proper good pics but you get the idea!!
This was my inspiration:

graduation

Hello Strangers!
Well I guess I am the stranger here – given that I haven’t posted in aaaages. Well one of the reasons is the above – I am a Graduate! My ceremony was last Monday and with it my University days are over. At least for the moment.
I have been working in Media Buying for the last few months after my last exams (another reason for my absence) and I really enjoy it; I have the most amazing collegues you could wish for and most of them have become very good friends despite the short time that we have known each other. I will be very sad when the day comes that I am leaving for Shanghai but since then I will make the most of each day.
Time has flown in the last couple of weeks. The 9-5 life has its perks (such as more money and not coming home just to sit down and study again) but it also means no days off, less time for friends (and shopping) and no outfit posts. Office dress code is so boring! On top of that I don’t really have a lot of office-appropriate clothes. As a result there is not much to show on how I dress each day – unless you are keen on black trousers and a shirt kind of posts…
I do, however, accumulate quite a lot of pictures from my weekends and I highly intend to post them all. If I just wasn’t so busy after work every day! Hmpf – Adult life is hard! :D
So here is to a new chapter in my life – and hopefully some more blog posts! ;)
