Happy by Leona Lewis sums up my feelings :)

So today's Tuesday. It's 11:15 as I'm typing. Watching Flava TV and Dizzee Rascal 'Scream' is playing. My sister is asleep in the bedroom. I am just updating my blog with a smile in my face. I'm happy! I am moving out again next month because of 'misunderstandings' with my landlord. Let's just say that 'us, soft spoken girls are not to be messed with' - Lyndsey :) But here a recall of my day yesterday. London's weather was fantastic! My sis and I grabbed McD's, her plan is to eat as much as she can since she's going back to Guinea tomorrow, a place where there is no McD's ;b

Notting Hill Carnival

This past weekend, there was the carnival in town, The Notting Hill Carnival and it was as usual CHAOTIC! but so fun!!! I went with my sister and my bestie who's in town for the week :) This is actually the first time I spend more than 2hours at the carnival and actually joined in the dances and the crazy fest, and it was a blast!

Some corners within Camden have a little 'Harry Potter' scenery feel to them, for example this tunnel market

& finally the lady and her bag shop, who made it quite clear that she didn't like people taking photos of her shop because her product are 'up-and-coming'. EXPOSED!

Camden is such a fun little town! very eccentric with its own vibe. As much as I like going there to just walk around or have shisha, I find it a bit more expensive. Maybe that's because many tourists go there and the place is so popular...I don't know. But definitely a place to go to if you come to London.

Again and again

Here we go again. I can't stop babbling about my wonderful time in Indiana...It's been over month now and reality has started to set in. Back to work and I start university next month, which I am really psyched about, majoring in Fashion Design and Marketing :) I'm still sorting out the last bits of my student finance...I still can't get over Indiana, such a relaxing holiday. Especially being there on the 4th of July, it was baking hot, my kind of weather! celebrating with one of my really good friends, Lynds, I just adore her! we were total sports with our outfits, red white and blue :)

Summer love

Saying that I had a good time in Indianapolis is an understatement. I had a blast! I really didn't even want to come back to London. The hot weather, over sized portions, sweet hellos and goodbyes of the people, late night drivings...I miss it all. But back to the story, Summer Love. G and I have known each other since high school :) a high school crush it was. I love the feelings I feel when I'm with him :) We saw each other every day when I was in Indi and as a bit 'cliché' as it might be to write about this, I just can't help myself...
So here's to the time we spent together

Recap of my time in Indianapolis

While I was in Indi, I went to the Jukebox. It's like a little hidden place to live music and may I say that the spot was rocking and it had a great vibe! One of the bands playing that night was called Mars or the Moon and I was so privileged to meet them. Local celebrities in my eyes :)
Lani, singing her heart out. She is so talented! I honestly got goose bumps, especially when they played 'Ray'.

Still can't pronounce this right :b

Then we played pool

But do check out Mars or the Moon, they are seriously AMAZING that I even asked for a CD!

I'm a HUGE fan of theirs

And before I say 'see you later', here is a quick pic of what I will be blabbing about in my next post, Summer Love :). Here's G. A funny, goofy, handsome, charming and lovable guy I spent time with the whole time I was in Indiana.

Once more

I have been away for a while, having the time of my life. As I mentioned before, I used to live in Indianapolis for years before leaving after graduating high school. So being that it's summer, school is out til September and that I happen to have 3 weeks off work, I went to Indiana and spent my 3 weeks there and 'Oh my goodness' where do I start? This was honestly the best summer I have had since I can remember. Over the upcoming days, I will be posting photos of my trip in Indiana and the things I was up to, the lovely people I met and my wonderful friends and family I spent time with :) Now that I am back in London, I honestly feel a bit Indi-sick as I miss my time there...it was very short lived but amazingly memorable...and without further say here are some of the memories from the city of Indianapolis.

Me and my super cute niece on top of the monument, bear in mind that I dreadfully fear heights, but it actually wasn't so bad, probably because I was so EXCITED to be in Indiana :b

what a wonderful view of the city!
