Just Point Me in the Direction of Hugh Grant

I took my very first trip to Portobello Market in Notting Hill and it was everything I hoped it would be. Food, jewelry, food, colored houses, food, you get the idea. I was wisely told to go on a Friday since it would be much less crowded and I got to browse without having to fight off people for scarves or antique boots, though that would've made quite the blog post.

Here are some of the pictures I took, when I wasn't pulling out my wallet. (It really isn't a place you should go if you have a lack of self-control). Also, the falafel is ridiculously delicious. Enjoy!

Happy Place (I'm an easy target for this and the scarf table)

I might recreate this in my future apartment.



I could spend all day with these things.

On a final note, I naturally came home with some treats from the Hummingbird Bakery. Go ahead, get jealous...

A Few Things That Are Currently Keeping Me From Jumping Into the Thames

I'm knee deep in it, folks. Need to do: 12,000 word dissertation (!), two 5,000 word essays (!!), one 2,500 word essay (!!!), and one 2,000 word essay (.....sorry I passed out for a second). BASICALLY, I'm close to the end of my rope (see what I did there?!) However, there are a few things that I just can't get enough of at the moment that are making the process a little easier. Hope you like them too! ....and that you don't have to write 26,500 words in the next month because that's MY THING. GET YOUR OWN. honeyhoney - "Lost Highway" (Hank Williams cover) I've been obsessed with hh for a few years now and the obsession is not letting up anytime soon. They're such a great blend of folk, americana, and indie. Plus they are a joy to see play live since they have such great personalities. (I swear, I'm not their manager....I wish). I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at a small pub here in London and they killed it, per usual. Esp

Guten Tag!

Hello all! Firstly, I just need to say (contractually) that this is the first blog entry written by a MASTERS DEGREE HOLDER. Yes, I somehow managed to fool everyone and get my degree. Ironically, I found out that I had officially passed as I was getting onto my plane to go back home. (Surprised I could actually read anything through all the tears). Anyways, it was good to find out at that moment, not only because the anticipation was killing me, but also so I didn't have to throw myself off the plane, which was my plan if I didn't pass. So yay! Secondly, I'm writing this from a STILL cold New Hampshire, where I've made the act of microwaving a heating pack and hugging it in bed a nightly tradition. Clearly it was time that I revisit some warm pictures from this summer to remind myself that it will get to that temperature again. Someday. (Soon? Please?) So I know I already wrote my goodbye entry, but I couldn't leave out the last three trips that I took since the

London Fashion Week(end)

Image
Last Friday I got to see a place that might actually be my home planet: London Fashion Weekend. (My sister always said I was adopted). It's a three day long event for the fashion lovers and admirers that takes place the weekend after Fashion Week at the Somerset House . There are fashion shows, guest speakers, and most importantly, endless amounts of designer shopping. At discount prices. Which is basically a mating call for a broke, fashion-loving student. I got an early morning ticket and despite the snow and freezing temperatures, I still managed to pull off the sweatpants and put on the one designer dress I own. (Not that it's needed in order to attend, but where else am I going to wear it? The library?)  *Note on this dress: I spent pretty much every day for four months staring at this Twenty8Twelve dress online before finally deciding to buy it...after opening up a credit card and paying it off in installments. (It's an investment!) I was also recovering fro
