If there is one word to characterise this blog-attempt, it would most shamefully be neglect. Pretty evident by the fact that every other post is an apology for recent hermit-ness and abandonment. Last night I glanced at my camera from across the room, sitting mournfully next to my television, no doubt gathering massive quantities of Beijing dust and really felt ashamed.
Looking back, the two most memorable achievements of my latest hibernation binge can be encapsulated in a)
Boardwalk Empire and b) added adoration of The Row since
Dirk Standen's interview with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as part of his 'Future of Fashion' series on Style.com
There is nothing I love more than when things start adding-up and inter-relating, so when I glanced at these beauties from The Row's just released Resort 2012 collection - which as a whole, rang the right bells with the silhouettes I'd been admiring from Boardwalk Empire - I fell right in love with this particular shade of mint green (to add to my general pastel-hues obsession).

The working life 24/7 is somewhat of a sad fact to contemplate (ahem, late communication coma and avid watching of old films and melodramas) but just as I was finally giving myself the metaphorical wake-up call to shake off all these absurdly dull thoughts and embrace blogging about twinned mint-green viewings... I opened my muddled folder vaguely entitled 'things I like' to find another of these two deja-vu shades jumping out at me right next to each other (the result of 'jen.kao' and 'jenna.lyons' alphabetised). From pastel to flouro, what else can I surmise but going green is the big step forward?
