Week 9: Alexis Evelyn Living in London!

This week has been kind of low key. I've been going to the gym and hanging out with my boy until he goes to work at 6p-3am. I started cutting my newest dress and sewing...which turned out to be a disaster! The voltage out here is insane and managed to blow my light bulb out and cause my motor to run out of control :( 

We're going to fix it soon...at least I managed to get the bodice sewn!
Here's the new fabric I bought :) I've already started on a super cute dress and still have a few meters left!


On the first week of living here I met a super nice girl named Nelly, I was having problems with using my Oyster card, to get on tube, and she helped me out! We got along pretty well on the tube while on out way to work. We swapped info and have been trying to meet up since! 
Finally we were able to on Thursday :) I had a blast! We went to Revolution Bar and from there walked all around Oxford Circus and hit a few places. It was a lot of fun :) We took the tube/bus home and got home around 11:45pm-ish. 
It kind of felt like we were in Hollywood, it was pretty similar. There aren't many dancing clubs though, it's more like chill pubs with some music. Everyone tries to hit happy hour deals before prices rise and get depressing to buy more. Some girls had such cute outfits and others had on work clothes. I'm not the type to stare people up and down in an obvious way, but sometimes I can't help myself here because they have such cute style here!

On Saturday afternoon we went to Time for Tea! I love this place and always get excited to get here, because it's so freaking cute! After we ate we went back to his step dad's to play with his dog, Mia :)
She's so cute and I took a few videos of her chasing her tail like a maniac!









 On Saturday night we went to dinner with my boys mom and her friends. We went to a Turkish restaurant up the road and were automatically given drinks...
I had about 3 glasses of white wine, a load of meats and rice...and shots of something disgusting. Before we knew it everyone was out of it and brought the party back to his house. I remember dancing to Justin Timberlake and holding they're dog...then I was in bed. I didn't even expect to drink that night, and paid for it on Sunday :(
We weren't able to get up and go on a little trip we planned the day before, which made me sad, but it was no ones fault!
I love when you wake up the next morning, check to make sure you have your purse and ID then check you camera for pics...and there are pics!






That was a lot of fun...but I'm never letting my guard down around parents! They love giving me drink after drink and I never decline :(

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