Day 21: After fashion class, my roommates and I walked around the city and shot photos for a bit. Later, I enjoyed a lazy Friday night in and started playing around with Photoshop. Hopefully I’m doing this right?

Day 20
Day 20: While abroad I’m challenging myself to 1) Master my Adobe Creative Suite and 2) finally start a (real) blog. So I set out to Shoreditch, a super trendy borough known for it’s unique street art for some inspiration. Hopefully the 100+ photos I shot will keep me busy on photoshop for a while! Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon with friends filled with adventure, photos and lots of delicious tea.
And don’t worry, Goal #2 is well underway too! Stay tuned 😉
Day 18
Day 18: I swear I’ll bring a camera into the city tomorrow so you’ll get a break from all these outfit posts. But the in-room photo still feels appropriate since I was stuck inside researching internships and doing homework all day (booo). Apparently they actually mean it when they say Study Abroad
One cool thing was waking up to true London fog this morning. It was so thick I could hardly see out my window!
Day 17
Day 17: Sadly, the day’s usual explorations were replaced by homework and research. Nighttime however, was filled with lots of silly dance moves and goofy pictures. Gotta love those Brits.
Day 16
Day 16: I finally bought a purse big enough to carry my camera around, so I spent the day shooting around the city. I ventured to Spitalfields market where I shopped and tasted my first “honey puff” (Warning: they’re not as tasty as they look). I picked up some warm scones and headed to a friend’s flat for some tea and crumpets. A glorious Sunday in Londontown indeed
Day 15
Day 15: The roomies and I had a great day exploring Greenwich Market. Besides the amazzzzing food stands, they had hundreds of vendors selling homemade trinkets. My favorite was a vintage shop with dresses from the 40’s and old war trench coats.
Day 14
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?
