Saturday shopping spree
A fulfilling shopping day has to include: -
1) Four hours at Topshop
2) A mind-boggling, life-changing decision over a pair of mustard yellow shoes which had me sitting at Topshop for an hour just staring at the pair of shoes and weighing the number of outfits I could wear it with against the cost of the shoes
3) Rebates and freebies, with bad customer service in tow
4) Meeting your friends in Topshop
5) Catching up with them in the dressing room
6) Painfully rejecting some potential pieces of clothing
7) Having to dig out the emergency card because you feel it in your bones that your current account is going dry
8) Crystal Jade dinners
9) Photo-taking under the Christmas lights like fanatical tourists
10) Shrieking, singing and laughing all at once
11) Familiarising yourself with the changing rooms at Topshop, Forever21 and Zara
12) Bitchfest, ahem, discussion fest on the late train ride home
And yesterday's Saturday shopping spree was all that, and more. It's the first taste of REAL freedom I've had in the last 3 weeks, and it's the start of more to come - sleepovers, long talks with many 'what-ifs', Christmas shopping, high-teas, shopping trips, HK drama/movie marathons, lunches, dinners, sun-tanning - it's finally here.

Carrie in Sex & the City: How about I read you a little bit of my favourite poetry? [Reads from Vogue] "Cocktails at Tiffanys calls for classic charm. Oscar de la Renta sleeveless silk full skirted dress with black patent leather bow belt." Now that is pure poetry.
