Random Funny Pictures
I gave my sister a ring like this like before Christmas and I found almost the exact one while shopping here!
LOL Butts up!!
??
My Thursday Explosiong experience...
Zach Moris?! I wish!! But he had his phone!
Hi its me again, Laura
Well hello!! :) Feels like my week flew by!! It was sooo busy at work because it was Press Week which means all the fashion editors from all the magazines or TV shows came in to check out the new A/W collections that we represent. So I was constantly re-hanging things and keeping the sample/show room clean. We also got one of the lines late so while the girls had appointments I had to try to hang 16 boxes of samples (men’s and women’s) while staying out of the way and being quite. It is quit hard when you are working with wood hangers and have a small show room to begin with! Ha but I managed. It kept me busy so that was good. Then Thursday night I went shopping and I thought I was being all adventurous going by myself and what not and then as I was approaching the tube station to leave and go home the foot looker workers (the store is right next to the station) where making a barricade to not pass, all the traffic was stopped and then there was a bunch of camera men in front of the store so my first thought was like oh shoot I am gonna see someone famous!! SWEET! Then I heard sirens and someone say there was an explosion as I hear this I get closer to the barricade and see that shoe racks in front of the store were flat on the ground and the sidewalk was all broken up, and then I see that the tube station is closed. My heart starts racing like how the heck am I going to get home? I’m getting the hell out of here and walking to the tube station a couple blocks down. As I was walking it dawned on me- I was like if there was an explosion and the Bond St station is closed there is no way I am getting on the tube at Marble Arch so I hailed a cab, told the cab driver not to go down Oxford St and he kept my mind off everything by having a conversation about my dang Californian accent. Yes I am well aware that it is different. Thank you for the 500th time. Ahh so I made it home rushed up stairs my heart was still pounding I was shaking a little and I told Kaitlyn what happened. Thanks to her speedy fingers she googled what I was telling her and we found out that it was an electrical explosion and the Oxford St had just reopened. PHEW!!! Glad I was home, glad that I was safe and what an experience for my Thursday night.
Fri was fun- I had class and then after class Nancy and I went to the Enchanted Palace at Kensington Palace. It was very cool got to see some cool fashion and dresses 7 different Princess wore/ or were made to represent them. Kensington sits right on a beautiful park and we got ice cream walked around and took some funny pictures of some swan and silly ducks. Then after that we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum which is another fashion museum. There they had McQueen’s signature piece from his S/S ’10 collection (the last collection he designed before his death) it was breath taking and even more since it was his last. They also had some cool Westwood dresses which I got some inspiration from for my wedding dress! :D After that my feet were sooo tired we just came home and I went to sleep.
Saturday was another adventurous day. We went to Notting Hill and went to Portobello Market (yes like the movie)! It was cool; there were a lot of food and antiques. I found my Dad this old school bike horn for his bike. When I saw it I couldn’t help but think that if he were with me at the moment he would be squeezing all the different size horns they had and being silly, so I squeezed one on behalf of him and bought one for him so he can have fun on his electrical beach cruiser bike since he isn’t busy pedaling or anything. :D After we did the Market we just walked around the area with the houses and stuff and then made our way back to the tube to head home. I stayed home for the rest of the evening I was so tired and wanted to just relax.
Sunday was another fun fun day! I was in the Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere at the same time!! How you ask?? Well quit simple, we went to the Prime Meridian. The central line of longitude 0 degrees, the line that measures all time zones!! So cool! I have pictures and I promise they will be up on facebook soon!!! If not tonight, tomorrow I PROMISE. So we did that and then after Wendy and I went to Harrods because we are reward card holders (hehe) and got our 10% off all our shopping today! Don’t worry I didn’t spend any money on me I got all gifts for my peeps…. Ok ok I bought my self one thing. ;) Then we tried to go home and the Tube was packed I couldn’t handle being pushed and bumped into anymore so I grabbed Wendy’s arm and forced us on the dang train! Ugh so annoying!! Now I am just in the flat listening to my iTunes trying to enjoy some “me” time updating you guys, my journal, and my next task is pictures but it is already 9pm and I have laundry and school to prepare before tomorrow morning! I miss all of you so much! Even if you don’t think I may miss you I do!!
Have a brilliant week!!

WOW OH WOW MY OH MY BABY HOW YOU DO THAT MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY.....
I honestly don’t know where to start... So if I jump around please bare with me. I think I will just fill you in starting from Thurs April 15 (tax day?! Not in London- btw there is NO tax in London, you pay the price on the price tag!)
Thurs- Pretty relaxing day at the internship. Press Week is this week so me and the other intern were just in the sample room hanging up samples, organizing (we are the only ones who do ha!), and cleaning thru magazines from past coverage on our brands. Then we got to leave early at 5pm! It was so nice to get on the tube and actually be able to breathe! Usually when I get off work at 6pm I have to squish my way on and I can’t breathe, I feel like a tiny little sardine squished in between two tall businessmen who usually have some weird scent seeping from them! Anyway, I rushed home and Wendy and I were going to meet up and go to Harrods but when I was walking up to the apartment she was just getting off the tube and we decided not to go then I called her and was like- no we need to go! I’ll meet you at the station and we will go! Well of course I waited at the stupid bus stop for like 15 minutes and then the bus came and almost didn’t let me on! He didn’t open the front door (where you get on) until people got off (from the back door) and the others moved down the bus but of course people weren’t moving down so what do I do?! Squeeze my way on a literally push people down the bus! Jeez come on cant they see that’s what you are suppose to do? Just like the tube people I am not even from here and I can pick up on that. So I make it (barely) and we go to Harrods. Then we see the owner of Harrods with his body guards. A little German guy!! So worth that dang bus experience! That was Thursday.
Fri- We had class at 9am and I can’t recall what we did after…… but I do recall my Dad calling me at 2am (my time) and waking me up because he finally figured out how to use the calling card he got! Ha-ha it was worth it though because it was nice to talk with him and hear his voice!
Sat- Nancy and I had a nail appointment at 12pm at an OPI nail salon in Selfridges (it’s like Harrods). I was so excited when I found this because it reminded me of my Mom AND they had gel nails which is what I get because it last longer than a manicure but looks natural like a manicure. Then after that Nancy and I went and did the London Eye. OMG so amazing!! It was a little scary but we saw amazing views and now I can say I have been on the WORLDS LARGEST FERRIS WHEEL! Woot Woot!! It is located right on the river that longs thru London so after we got ice cream because it was 60 degrees and it was hot! Yes I think 60 degrees is hot now! :) So we ate our ice cream walked along the river saw all the street performers, some crazy ones you will have to check out the pictures on facebook (I will post later) and did some shopping. Then after we went to Hamleys its London’s FAO Schwartz... it was neat to see all the toys after that we were tired of walking so I stopped one of the little guys on a bike pulling a carriage behind him and he took us to the museum we wanted to go to. There was a Van Gough exhibition and it was soooooo neat to see his art up close. He was so talented and the crazy he got mentally the better his art. Amazing! After that we just walked around and found a Rainforest Café we had dinner there and then went home. It was a long but fun and eventful day!
Sun- Wendy, Nancy, Jackie and I went to Brick Ln. It was neat. It’s a shopping market and st that has a lot of vintage stuff. So cool! Wendy got a pimped out old school hat with the mesh that comes over your face. Its soo cool and it came with a pimped out hat box!! So old school! I found a girl who makes gluten free cupcakes! Wooh woo! I am going to go back next week to get some! We shopped around there for a while then made our way home.
Mon- Wendy and I went to the post office and then to class and guess what? We were packed in like sardines on the tube! After class we made our way home, the tube was nice and airy and we had a quality convo, when we got home I had lunch then we went to Oxford for a dang homework assignment and we encountered some strange things. On our way back to the tube this foreigner kind of hopped/ran/skipped up to Wendy got in her face and said “Prim-ark?” Wendy backed up and was like excuse me and she said it again and Wendy pointed her in the direction then right before the tube one of the news paper guys kind of did the same thing but just made a strange noise. She thought it was a mating call! LOL. Now we are just at home! Listening to music doing HW making dinner and hanging out.
I hope this is enjoyable for everyone and it is enjoyable to read. I can’t capture every moment as it happened but some funny stuff has really happened to us and it def. makes our adventures home or to school or where ever we are going so much better. There are def different walks of life in this city that is for sure!

Easter Sunday
Well today was as eventful as it was going to get. We got up at 11am our time- this sleeping thing is so hard to get down. If anyone knows me I am always up super early never sleeping in!! HA not in London!!
Anyway after getting up and checking my email I decided to talk a walk across the street in whats known as Regents Park. I guess something similar to Central Park. It was nice lost of families and dogs out. Lots of children's laughter which is always something enjoyable to hear in a great big park. We found a hill that is actually in the part of the park that's spills over on our side of the street. We walked up this hill and found an AMAZING view of the skyline! We couldn't believe our eyes and it has been some what sunny today so it was perfect. After that we crossed back over and found lots of futbol games aka as soccer ;) So naturally Wendy had to stop and soak in as much Mexican culture as she could cause there isn't much here. LOL (j/k Wendy you know I love you)
After our walk Wendy and I had a pretty funny conversation about food,
Wendy- Whats the first thing you are going to eat when you get home?
Me- Idk, I haven't thought to much about it, I guess Islands, Chipotle, and either Ricardos or El Tor Why?
Wendy- I was just writing a list of places to go to when I get home (said with a smile)
Me- Why, cause the food is Fu*#ing DISGUSTING here??
The food is soooo bland here, you would think I was in heaven because I am a "picky eater" according to my family but I don't is sooooooooo bad. Ugh So now I have started a list to eat when I get home. Any suggestions?
Since everything is closed today because of Easter we made an Easter dinner to share and have some bonding time. It was yummy!!
Now we are planning our Mon since it is a Holiday tomorrow for them Europeans, I think we will go to Oxford street= good shopping
I hope everyone is enjoying this and had a Happy Easter!!! <3
