Day 14: Happy 2 week anniversary London! It was also the first day of my fashion class. But let me tell you, dressing for a fashion class is one of the most stressful things I’ve ever done.

Day 13
Day 13: For those of you who don’t know, England has crazy hours and gets light until 8 am and is dark by 4 (I don’t know either). So having to wake up at 7 for a 9 am class feels wayyyyy earlier than it really is. Turns out, it was well worth it because my Art & Society class is the bomb digity, After a lecture each week we go to a new museum in London to discuss art and artifacts. Today’s tour featured the Rosetta Stone and mummies (!!!!!) at the British Musuem. Cheerio
Day 12
Day 12: Nothing like a tea party at Harrods to get you through the week.. Although the event was breathtaking, the scones could never replace my Grandma’s infamous pastries (snobby tea drinker here). All in all, It was a great way to experience the store and gave me an excuse try a high collar and neon lips. Pinkies up!
Afterwards, I rushed over to my Web Development class where I will hopefully learn to create my own blog site! (wish me luck)
Day 11
Day 11: First day of school! The scheduling Gods adorned me with the gift of Tuesday afternoon classes this term. I’m normally a morning person but the change was such a great way to start my week! I left my Advertisement class so pumped for our class project. Oh no, my nerdiness is beginning to show…
But really, when you find sunflowers and a Happy mural, how can you not be in a great mood?
Day 10
Day 10: With all this shopping I’m beginning to think I have a problem.But with so many markets and sales, who can blame me? In all honesty though it’s the thrill of of the hunt I love most. My big find was a black lace collar from Spitalfields. Can’t wait to use it in some fabulous back to class outfits.
Day 9
Day 9: After a wonderful run, I spent my morning catching up on things I’ve been neglecting back home (believe me there was alot). Later, my roommates and I ventured to Tower Hill for a tour with out SA program. The tower is home to England’s crowned jewels and loooooads of creepy stories. Now I all can’t help but look for ghosts every time I’m in the area.
Day 8
Day 8: I started my Saturday off with a run (what?) over Tower Bridge. It felt so refreshing to explore my neighborhood without all the afternoon traffic crowding the streets. Afterwards, my roommates and I grabbed some afternoon tea in the port. The highlight of the day was cooking a scrumptious dinner of cauliflower rice and veggies with new friends!
Day 7
Day 7: After a lazy Friday morning, my roommates and I decided to treasure hunt in Camden Market. Within 5 minutes of getting off the train I found the most adorable wool hat. Do as the Romans do right? We ended the afternoon at an Arts and Crafts fair filled with rows of mouthwatering food. My personal favorites? Homemade apple cookies and pistachio fudge. Yuuuum. Can’t wait to go back and try some Beetroot and Goat cheese ice cream
Day 6
Day 6: The moment I put on my new plaid pants I knew it was going to be a great day. After heading into the city for an advising appointment my wanderlust carried me to North London for the afternoon. There I found the greatest shop, filled with notebooks, prints and all sorts of adorable coffee books. I must have spent hours deciding which prints to buy for my room. Find. Of. The. Century.
Day 5
Day 5: A day filled with TONS of adventure! Our study abroad program took the group on a ride to Abbey Road. Although we annoyed half of London in the process, we were finally able to get the perfect shot (original I know). After such a touristy afternoon I ended the day in Shoreditch catching up with friends over a warm cappuccino.
