A Carnival Affair


What better way to celebrate Carly's homecoming than a night at the carnival! The grounds were eerily quiet and we had the whole place to ourselves to run around and eat all the cotton candy and mini donuts we wanted! 
Best friends re-united <3











Watch out for our giveaway coming up! You won't want to miss it ;)

London; Kew Gardens


Our last precious day of the trip was spent getting lost amidst the rose bushes and exotic plants at Kew Gardens. It was a gorgeous, bittersweet day as we talked and laughed about everything that had happened during the past two wonderful months ♥

London; Greenwich + Liverpool FC




We floated down the Thames on a warm, sunny day from the London Eye all the way to Greenwich. I was determined to put a foot on either side of the world - one in both the eastern and western hemispheres. I spent far too long wandering around Greenwich Market eating caramel filled churros that by the time we finally made it up to the observatory, it had shut for the evening. We still took in the  lovely sunset from on top of the hill... And the churros were totally worth it!

A highlight was visiting Liverpool for a few precious days. The history and culture of the city was incredible. Living with the biggest Liverpool FC fan around for the past year, I've naturally become a fan myself. Diligently, we would set our alarms for 7am on the weekends and crawl out of bed to watch them play. We couldn't go to England without seeing a game. We scalped tickets from a dodgy character and after spending the day convinced we had been ripped off, we went to Anfield with our fingers crossed... The tickets were legit and we sat in The Kop! Later that evening we sang and danced the night away in The Cavern Club, where the Beatles first played. I didn't take my camera with me that evening, but I'll have the memories forever.

London; Camden Market




This morning we channeled our inner Amy Winehouse and wandered through Camden Market. With delicious smells of curries and stir fries filling the air, I did my best to bargain with the local merchants. I couldn't get the thought of how heavy my backpack had become over the trip out of my mind so I only came away with one tank top.. Quite proud of myself! To bring out the 'rebel' in me, I wore my new faux leather jacket (someday I WILL be able to afford a real one) that I bought on Oxford Street yesterday. I've been meaning to buy one for a few years and I finally caved. We finished off the day by walking to the top of Primhose Hill and admiring the gorgeous city. We almost got blown away by the wind! :)
