♫♪ Mungo Jerry – In The Summertime
This Saturday is my official one month since I came over to London. Time truly flies when you’re having lots of fun, huh? I’m sure this month has gone by fast for you too! It feel like yesterday, I was teaming up with British Airways and Blacklane to give you exclusive details on what my next “location” will be. This month has been so many new opportunities. I didn’t realize how much this city has given to me until I was reflecting last night after a networking meeting as to what the city has done for me, my career aspirations and this lovely blog. It is only in London could I have a day time analytical life and then when the sun goes down I’m a fashion and lifestyle blogger, and a thriving one that is.
With all the qualms that come with moving to a big city and country, there are oh so many positives. There is one thing that I never had before until I moved here and that is strangers being so incredibly sweet. People smiles, tell me I’m pretty {I’m not kidding!}, talk to me in the restaurant or the train, even ask me if I need help getting around {when I look so confused}. Like last week when the man in front of me at a cafe bought my flat white, turned around and told me my ‘smile was infectious’. I don’t think I’ve had time to miss home or my family, but that’s not to say that I don’t miss them! {I know they’re reading this, especially my little brother.} It’s as if I’ve been caught in a school of fish and just been going-going-going. I’m not sure if that analogy makes any sense.
This weekend, I’m going to continue to take advantage of the warm and sunny London weather. In the midst of doing a bunch of blog things that I have neglected for much too long, I’m going rowing and walk around new neighborhoods with my camera to capture a little something for you, of course.
Lastly, with London Fashion Week just around the corner there is much to be done! So tell me, do you have any plans this September weekend? Hope it’s a lovely one! xo. -S
