I’ve been back in sunny (that’s not even sarcastic!) England
for just over a week now and I am finally
getting back into the swing of things. It’s amazing how that extra three hours
of time difference on the west coast can affect you! Or at least that’s my
explanation for why I’ve been sleeping in lately. There’s also the small matter
of post-holiday blues to contend with – real life is always a tricky adjustment after 16
days of prioritising having fun above all else.

So first I want to say a HUGE thank you to the beautiful Sarah for taking over the blog while I was away, she did an amazing job. I read her Alice Cooper post in the Hard Rock Café in New York and her summary of our comical student escapades made me laugh out loud!
A big thank to the equally beautiful Kay too, for her beauty post – entertaining and informative, you can see why I rarely make a beauty
purchase without asking her opinion these days. It proved a popular post with
you guys too so hopefully I can persuade her to share some more in the future.
And as for our holiday... before normal blogging resumes,
I would like to give a shout out to the following in no particular order, for
making it such an amazing and unforgettable trip:
New York: The New
York Knicks (Pablo Prigioni, I love you!), Maarit for showing us the ‘secret
burger place’, the unexpected heat wave, Brooklyn for the best Mexican
restaurant I’ve ever been to, Benito One in Little Italy, the epic beer selection at our 'local' Fast Eddies, my favourite Victoria’s Secret store
in the world, Magnolia Bakery, the Pick A Bagel on 8th, the guy who
rides his tricycle around Central Park blaring out Beat It, every
sports bar that changed the channel especially for us, and the mystery bar near the Paul's Boutique corner that was too darn cool to have a
name (or maybe we were too darn drunk to remember it...)
Los Angeles: Our
good friend Skyler (and his good friends Amber and Claire), Loaded Bar for
reminding me that tequila isn’t the devil, The Cheesecake Factory for never, ever disappointing, Santa Monica Pier, the
Viper Room, the insane Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, the 'additional water effects' on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios (not!), every guy who rapped out loud on
the subway, the phenomenal views from Griffith Park, Senses Fail, Blake
Griffin, Megatron, Dropkick Murphys and the awesome shops on Melrose.
And last but not least thank you to James, for being my
partner in crime for what can only be described as an epic adventure! Right,
now that the thank yous are done, normal blogging will resume. I have a few gigs to review, lots of
fashion discoveries to share and a new website in the works… so stay tuned!
