London & Paris

I can't believe I haven't updated anything from London or Paris yet. I've been so busy flying everywhere that I haven't had a moment of rest to sit down and handle this.
A few days here and there in different places but I'll finally get to rest my head on friday morning. i'll be back in california friday morning until feb 1st.
im excited about so many exciting things that I have planned for my time at home:

+learning photoshop and html
+buying even more books on fashion merchandising and buying and photography
+saving up for a nice camera
+working on my lil art project
+finding someone to let me practice piano in their house/studio for cheap(!!)
+playing with garage band more
+learning French
+finishing those awful grad school apps
+yoga

I love being busy! Anyway, I'm happy to be back in the states. There's nothing like it. Seeing all of my amazing friends and i won't lie, new york is beautiful. since i've been here, i got my hair and nails done. it's the simple stuff that i missed the most.

Anyway, here are the pictures from London with the MAH boys and Paris with Shawn and TVOR.

then i finally got to see the MAH boys. it was so nice to be around the boys from home. and to make things even better, they were on tour with Just Surrender so i got to see the upstate boys too. and an even more exciting surprise was that kyle from philly joined their band and i didnt know it, so it was the best thanksgiving ever.

I have to move everything to an external hard drive once i get home because poor lil Basil is filled up. So there won't be pictures of Amsterdam, Germany or NY for a little while. And i won't be able to get any new music until then...ughh.
until then...
