I think I'm gonna...SCARF!!!

 So, I saw this girl with a scarf tied around her head and made a bow in the front! This trend was also in Teen Vogue! I decided to go for it today! OBVIOUSLY, the bow part didn't work out to well.(Those threads from the end of my scarf where "ALL UP IN MY EYE!") Overall, I think I will definitely try this again but with the right scarf!
 I embrace my round-face!! "HATERS GON HATE!!!"
 My outfit photography SUCKS! Anyway, this is a black one-shouldered jumper. I got it from It's Metro(would usually not buy anything from there but I had a change of heart that day) and I only paid about $8 for it! I also got a brown halter jumper for $7!

The inside of the National Gallery. They don't allow photography in the rest of the museum so this is the last picture you'll see of the National Gallery which is located in Trafalgar Square.
 I look a mess in this video but it's alright. I'll redeem myself in another's day video! #takemeasiam!

 I did another take of the video! I am definitely still getting used to this filming stuff!! Bare with me!!
 I'm in Dominoes(Yes, they have a Dominoes!) and I see this ad! If you don't go to Ole Miss, you should go to the next picture! Anyway, it reminds me of Ryan Felder when he was rocking the full-hair style! I should've zoomed in some more, so you can see it better!!
 Forgot to mention, Air Conditioning is DEFINITELY a luxury here. Our flats(residence) don't have A/C! We have to open out window and feel the breeze through the holes! To control our A/C, we have to either open the door more OR close it a little bit until it's where you want it to be! 

As you can tell, I didn't take many picture today. I got a little lazy and it probably won't be the last post like this! Sorry! Anyway, my day consisted of me going to the National Gallery which had free admission. It was quite amaZing!! Then, I went to find my work location. That was truly the beginning of a long day! I got on the tube and come to find out I had to switch to a different tube to get to my destination. So, when I get off of one tube, I see people running to catch the other tube because it was about to leave. My American self followed the crowd and got on the WRONG tube!! So, I had to travel about 20 hot minutes until I could get back on the right tube! I had to travel back those 20 minutes plus some to get to the tube that would take me directly to my destination! I finally made it to my stop and the next mission is to find the building! (Keep in mind, I'm HUNGRY!) I had a map which was ABSOLUTELY no help!!  For some of these people to LIVE in London, they have the slightest clue where to direct me! I'm going to wrap this story up because my hands are getting tired! I'm trying to write a post, facebook, dictionary, and youtube at the same time...it's EXHAUSTING!! Back to the story, I finally ended up finding my job after an hour of: walking down a street back and forth(further and further each time), trying to go into Dominoes(I was pulling the door and it wouldn't open so I thought he had to buzz me in, still no admission into Dominoes), asking numerous people for directions, stopped back at Dominoes and realized that I had to PUSH the door(story of my life!), stopped at a outside market that sold retail and different raw fish (My nose endured smells no one should have to!), and finally I made it to my destination which was only about 10 minutes from the tube that I got off of!!

London is a "Site" to see...sort of like ME!!

 Getting ready for the Scavenger Hunt! I was supposed to pick up the instructions between 9:30 and 10:30...This picture was taken at like 10:35!! Ooops!
 After this picture, I figured it was time to go!!
 Bon Apetite!
 This lady was standing in line at the ATM. I wanted to get a front view but I didn't want her to think I was trying to con her! I just wanted to show the mixing of different patterns.
 These are just some of the stops the subway or shall I say the "tube" makes. The tube gets you to the main streets and it's up to your feet and sense of direction to get you to your destination!! HARD WORK!!
 Oxford shoes! I plan on getting a pair before I leave!
 J'adore!
 You better WORK IT!!
 Alexander McQueen!! If you don't know this designer...GOOGLE!! :) Fun fact: Kate's wedding dress was Alexander McQueen! This store was located in Knightsbridge. This part of London looks like the London on tv!! #justsaying

 This was taken in Harrods! It's London largest store and the world's greatest department store! What's a Macy?! #justsayin They sell REAL Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc. Since the retail is so high-end, they put everything on wire...To the CLEPTOS out there...Don't even try to get that FIVE-FINGER Discount!!

 Ahhhhhh!!! Another scarf!! They're taking OVEEERRRR!!
 Most of the guys here dress so...clean! I love it!
 Look who dropped by...Russell Brand!! Is that Katy??!! Just kidding...IMPOSTERS!!
 I wish I could've gotten a picture of her standing up but we were on the tube. She was so happy to have her picture taken! This outfit gives you a little taste of color-blocking, played safe!! Next time, block a little bit harder and you'll be FIERCE! #justsaying
 What we call a subway...they call a "tube!"
 Make that money honey!
 So this sign says "Please stand to the right!" I didn't see this at first and I was standing on the left and everyone was rushing past me and slightly pushing me! Then my roomate Kathleen told me to stand to the right! Then I saw this wonderful sign!!
 It's a black telephone booth!

 At Ole Miss, we have angry squirrels...In London, we have ferocious pigeons. They are nothing like US birds! When they see humans they don't fly...they
 Give it up...you will never be ADELE! Just kidding! In order to play out here, you have to be licensed. I'm thinking the time it took to get the license, he should've been applying for a real job!! Just kidding! I am a firm believer in GOING AFTER YOUR DREAMS!!
