Week 5: Alexis Evelyn Living in London!

Back to a full week of my internship. On Monday I had a half day and decided to wander around and explore until my boy got off work. I got off of Westminster Abbey tube stop and was smacked in the face with the House of Parliament! I was smiling from ear to ear :) Every where I looked I saw a major monument. London Eye, Big Ben, House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey...I was dying!! I was trying to take a bunch of pictures of myself with buildings behind me...but it was hard.

Here are some pictures of my grand adventure!

This week was going to be busy again, with another shoot due on Wednesday at the Broadgate building off Liverpool Street :) The day before the shoot it was pouring rain! I had to take video of it because it was so cool being in London and sewing while it's poring rain :) The shoot was on the roof top of 2 different buildings, we shot around 14 looks with 2 models. It was really cool! The models were so sweet and the crew was fun to hang out with. We shot from 8am-6pm! I was so exhausted...once I got home I crashed out. Here are some pictures of the day before/day of the shoot.

My boy decided to take me to a nice fish dinner in Oxford Circus :) I was excited to go on a little date with him and felt fancy going out on a Friday night! 

Mmm...Cape Town Fish Market

Can't wait for the next week...and the next after that!!

Week 4: Alexis Evelyn Living in London!

This week has been pretty busy with getting ready for my internships photoshoot. The photoshoot was going to be an outdoor shoot in the beautiful gardens from the Fenton House. We all planned to meet at the station and walk to the location together...but little did I know, I went to the wrong station. I spent around 2 hours of walking/traveling to get to the location. By 11am I was told that I could go home because the shoot was set to end at 1pm. I was half way there and figured it'd be a total waste to go home. While on my adventure to the location, I saw a lot of cute shops and beautiful buildings! It was actually a great experience :) I took a few pictures and finally got to the location. 

Here are a few photos of adventure/shoot!

 

Drinks/food at Holy Bush in Hampstead :)

On July 18th it was my boys mum's birthday :) I decided to decorate the kitchen to surprise her, and she was happy! She had a load of birthday cards on the table, I've never seen so many before. We ate dinner the day before with the family and on Friday we all went to 'Zoo Lates' and wore animal ears!

It was a lot of fun :) We saw a tiger and the penguins...and the rest of the time we drank ciders and ate Paella (my new favorite food!) It was a blast! After we went to a bar and drank a little more and then rushed to the tube to catch it before it shut. 

This was so much fun :)

Can't wait for the next week...and the next after that!!
