pack pack pack...

This weekend was fun, crazy, and a great time to see all my friends before I head acrossed the pond. Fun times at the bars, a girls night dinner party, and some shopping with the bestie. Great times, and even better friends!

I can't believe its this time already.. but my bed is covered in shoes and clothes. Packing day! I'm super proud of myself for starting this early. I have been guilty of waking up the day of my flight and just throwing everything I own into suitcases.. not this time!

I don't want to pack anything boring. Plus I want to have an excuse to buy all kinds of new stuff. But I caved yesterday and bought a new outfit to take with me.. I just loooved this jacket from Express!

I need to start saving my money for H&M and all the cute thrifty shops!

Back to packing... what absolutely needs to make it into one of my 3 suitcases??

Austin!

Went to Austin last weekend for a fun getaway with my friends. The second we were on UT's campus I was such a hater, but the people were nothing but nice, and the food and bars were awesome.

Highlights:
- the fun drive there with patty pants
- Round Rock Outlets shopping
- seeing Lew
- meeting new friends!
- Malaia! by far one of the funnest dance clubs I've been to.
- unplugging the dj at Malaia
- waiting for the E bus
- the themepark that is Whole Foods

(Yes the dance floor does have a retractable roof!)

Good times had by all! Now it's time to party Norman style.. then mayyyybe packing..

Prepping

So, with barely 2 weeks to go, I'm starting to go crazy with my London to-do lists..


1. Packing!.. No way, not for atleast 13 days..
2. Find a reasonable way to charge/pay for things. (My Discover Card will not be accepted most places there, and my debit card has ridiculous foreign currency fees!!)
3. Find a really cute trench coat for all those rainy days.
4. Cancel my phone's data plan, car insurance, memberships, etc.. for the next 4 months.

Ok, no one else cares about this.. but it's all I've been doing now that I have a plane ticket booked!



I want that! And it's my birthday soon, so please.. buy it..(for me!)

London Living!

So, I'm getting more excited everyday that I'll soon be on my fun work assignment. I'll really be taking one for the team by living in London for 4 months...

Here are the pictures of what my temporary flat looks like on the website. (*fingers crossed it will be like this in real life too..!)

2 weeks and 2 days.

Superbowl Cupcakes!!

I had a Superbowl party to attend this weekend, and couldn't show up empty handed! I wanted to make super cute toppers with each team's symbol on it, but the fleur de lis is next to impossible to make super cute with fondant...

The circles were not bad.. White and blue (vanilla on vanilla) for the Colts, and black/yellow (double chocolate fudge) for the Saints! yumyumyum! Enjoy :)
