Rouge

Calling this post "rouge" to describe my day and those that will come this following week as I return to Sweden to live a life with a silver spoon in my mouth! I've always associated it with drama, extravagance and velvet luxury.

Yesterday was my last day at Karen Millen (in London). We'll see if I get working in Glasgow... don't know if the heels are worth it when I sell for minimum £50/hour, and don't really get a lot in return.

I want to start investing properly and set up my own online business selling functional canvas bags that don't look cheap like they always do (££€€$$) !

Today Karma and I have had a frickin fab day in Woking!! Shopping! I picked out a pair of grey trousers that Seb bought and a sexy grey skirt for Karma. I bought some presents. I got a bag, a handmade necklace and a knit cape (shown below!!) Then we hit spooons!

Anyhow I will be splashing a bunch of posts up with loads of photos and gossip when I return to Swedenland - tomorrow noon!!

On thursday a stayed over at a friends went to 'Spoons for curry night of course! On Friday I met my future flatmate Melody, she was lovely and we had a great time at... Spoons! Pitchers of Pimms!

Now I'm having £11 red red pinot noir with Karma - the delicious thing! I'm wearing a glittery golden vintage top with leather shorts and a headband chain scarf. I am a hippie! Now Karma and I are going out! catch you later

- life is crazy, stay safe

Walking All Over London in the Rain with my Sunshine

Fun day in London with American boy James!! We went to Buckingham Palace, Westminster, and Piccadilly Circus (the Waterstone's is amazing), ate drank at Wetherspoon twice in a day. And I am going there again tomorrow...

Will see James in Sweden again next week, feels surreal to be going back since I feel like vacations have vacated my life. I will be returning to Scotland the 10th, can't wait. I am in a happy place with most things but I am physically exhausted!

Uploading photos from my escapades this weekend later - Gavin (lead guitarist of the band) was here and we partiied I met the fun crowd he was with - on Monday I went out with Dillman, Ivy and Scott for drinks and karaoke. The three Swedish girls Dillman invited out were bores, stiff lil Scandinavians. I remember what it is I like about the UK. Frigid isn't the norm.

Spotless

I want this academic year to be spotless and for me to take on even more responsibilities and challenges.

I've started off by registering at the Enterprise Gym for the Young Entrepreneur Society and I will also be attending Dundee Debates to improve the structure of my arguments (all my friends know I need to)! I wanted to join Dundee Investment Society but they seem to have disappeared from the list of societies. Scottish students would rather spend their overdraft on Lambrini than stocks, so I gather.

Off for a jog to get the perfect body.

Hey, I'm 20 I can still eat dessert!

P.S. I miss Karma so damn much she left me the sweetest note!! I fell asleep as usual before I could say good-bye... I'm such a granny.

Yesterday I squeezed the life out of her arm as we watched Inception with the beautiful Gordon-Levitt in it.

Tequila

We went out for some tequila for Tilly's leaving party at various venues:

It was a good night that only cost me one drink. A guy offered me a cigarette I said no, don't waste your time, money and health. He got offended and annoyed and yelled at me your breath stinks! Then I had some guy walk me home although he was walking in the wrong direction - he lived far far away but enjoyed telling me tales of his Omani oil consultant for a father... Weirdoes in the wild. Poor Karma only got an hour's sleep and is feeling horrible today poor Pookie hasn't slept for days with all her 7 am shifts.

Twenty Year Old Ladette in Guildford!

Going Out to Celebrate with Karma, came back to Guildford today! Yesterday I found a day travel card which I consider the birthday present to myself. I went out with Ed and bluesy people they bought me all my drinks and we went to a local music festival off Portobello rd. Ed gave me a print that'll look great in the new house.

Karma is trying on her dresses complaining that they're all "TOO LONG!"

New Perfume

Now I apparently smell like banana peel.. and I thought I smelled nice.

Someone buy me a new perfume for my birthday on Sunday please?

At least I'm enjoying freshly made Pimms so maybe I'll smell like that instead

Best Coast and Old Blue Last

Best Coast rocked! I was one of the five that got in without queueing an hour before. They were rad!!!!! Rough Trade is a trendy place to be. From one trendy place to another, I ended up at Old Blue Last to meet up with Donna and Robert and Mo and awesome Swedes and Robyn playing in the background

Mo stealing a drink bartenders completely oblivious.

Two Days of Freedom

SoHo Daze

Penguin Classics garage trying to tell me something!!

The first in a long long time. It feels spectacular. But I haven't been reading English classics as I should've - I've been pubcrawling, getting locked outside sleeping in the the yard, getting home 9 in the morning feeling undernourished from the salad I had yesterday. YUM I have eaten, and now I'm going to make some brown sugar fried apples with Scottish ice cream for dessert and listen to Best Coast. Seeing them tonight at Rough Trade in Brick Lane, stoked!!

I miss Scotland and music and freedom so now I am enjoying these two days but can't wait til I can take it easy again.

2:14, I agree Best Coast, "I hate sleeping on the lawn"!!

Slumberjack

Limo Lux Oxford Circus, I miss the band...

Worst pick up line ever:

"Have you got time?"

"No, sorry I haven't"

"Not that time, your time"

I wear my ex's clothing and watch Sherlock Holmes eating Kent cherries.

Sweet sunday sleep. First free day tomorrow since the 15th of July.

I will dive in to books, soak it up and come out as a better person.
