October

Law school has been going by sooooo quickly! I'm usually studying, working out, sleeping, thinking about fashion, or hanging out with Edmund or my girlfriends, and that leaves little time for anything else! However, Edmund took me out for a special dinner last week at Terra. Isn't he a sweetie?!



I'm wearing a Tucker for Target dress and Prada boots - I love crisp fall weather because I get to wear boots! : )

A few weeks ago, I went home to visit the family and go to a wedding with Mom. Mom and Dad did alot of renovations on the house and it looks beautiful! I especially loved how Mom decorated the entryway.



Isn't it beautiful?!!

Keep Calm and Carry On

I bought a "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster at the Victoria & Albert for a mere 12 pounds, and excitedly carried the poster across the Atlantic Ocean back to the States. My parents were kind enough to frame it for me.....viola!



I LOVE IT!

Law school starts tomorrow....I can barely contain my excitement

These are a few of my favorite things......

Happy July 4th!

Wow, what a relaxing weekend!!!!

Friday night, Edmund took me out to a special dinner at Solstice to celebrate being done with the London Maymester exam. The food was absolutely delicious - I had sea scallops and Edmund had pork tenderloin. We had a scrumptious shrimp appetizer. YUMMY!



It is really hard for us to take a proper picture!



On Saturday, we went to Charlotte with Edmund for shopping and food (i.e. Cookout)! We also rode up to Davidson....what a beautiful campus!





And then we went to the track....



I showed Edmund some gold medal form.....



And then we acted like 5 year olds!





I am a very happy and blessed girl.

Whew!

Done with my Maymester exam! Let the summer fun begin!!!!

Off to the Beach!

It is hard to believe that just a few weeks ago, I was in LONDON!!! I wish I was now back there, because the good ole' South is HOT! Can't wait for the cool fall weather.

I started work last week, and I am enjoying it and grateful to have a paying job. We have started drinking wine....so things are back to normal!

Last weekend, I went to Sullivan's Island to see Edmund's family, and also went back in Columbia for a wedding.



Now, we're off to the beach to see my family.....and Dad better come to the beach for Father's Day! I truly have the best father in the whole world.



Here's to another great weekend! : )

Coming to America!!!

Back in the States!

I think that I will keep this blog up and use it to document my future travels! Where should I go next? : )

Grace Kelly

On Monday, after class, I went again to the Victoria & Albert to finally see the Grace Kelly exhibit! It was beautiful, showing videos of her movies, as well as footage of her at royal events. I saw her Oscar gown, her wedding suit for her civil wedding, her shoes, jewels, etc. It was interesting to watch her style shift from very classic, simple, tailored dresses by Cassini and Helen Rose that she wore as a young actress, to ornate, more colorful figure-forgiving caftans by Yves Saint Laurent as she got older.


We were not allowed to take pictures, but I was on a rogue mission to take a pic of her Hermes Kelly bag!

Mission Accomplished!

Afterwards, I bought a cappuccino and scone and sat in the most beautiful room in the V & A.



I think I stared at the ceiling for 10 minutes.



Then, on to Fortnum & Mason to pick up some tea for Mom. I have many treats for her!



Only one more day of class left! Cannot believe that my month in London has flown by - I love this city and it was wonderful to live here, even if for short time.

Cannot wait to see Edmund at the airport! And my family later on in the week!

Last Weekend in London

Friday: Carmel and I had a lovely lunch and then went to the Natural History Museum.







Saturday: Went to Sloane Square, had some gelato, and tried to study. (Notice use of the word "tried.")

And Saturday, we had a girls night and went to a club called Fabric. I think we look pretty cute!





Sunday: Carmel and I went to Stonehenge!





Such a beautiful end to the weekend!


Tomorrow, I have 4 hours of class and then the V&A for the Grace Kelly exhibit and Fortnum & Mason! : )

Adventure of the Macaro0ns

After our last class of the week on Thursday, Carmel and I went to lunch at a nice Italian place with some of our classmates. It was right by the St. Martins School of Art & Design, and I could absolutely swear that I saw Mick Jagger's son!

After lunch, Carmel and I went to Knightsbridge, which is the posh shopping district of London. All of the society wives and movie stars shop there; Carmel and I blended right in of course! : )

We first went to Harrods.




Absolutely magical. Everything in there was wonderful and very expensive. After walking around for awhile, I started craving something sweet, and accidentally walked into Laduree, which is the most famous place for French macaroons. It is an understatement when I say that I was excited...I felt like Marie Antoinette for a minute! The pastries were absolutely gorgeous and the macaroons were adorable. I bought six macaroons (chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, caramel with salted butter and coffee) and they came in an absolutely chic little box with a ribbon.








Yes, I know, I took pictures of macaroons. I don't care if you think that's weird...because I was excited! : )

Then after Harrods, Carmel and I hit up the opening day of Topshop in Knightsbridge. Kate Moss had actually been in the store hours earlier to open up the shop. I bought a cute pair of sunglasses and Carmel bought some earrings.



And then we took a picture with the Topshop security guard, AJ.



Then we walked around Hyde Park.





We also snuck into the Mandarin Oriental and looked around - very beautiful! One day I hope to stay there! : )
