Week 7: Alexis Evelyn Living in London!


 I heard about Pure London trade show through my internship and decided to check it out. I got to attend as a designer and rocked a really cool badge with my label on it :) The show was massive, with tons of exhibitors and random fashion shows here and there. I was excited to walk around and check everybody's display and hear an interview from Zandra Rhodes! I wore one of my dresses and got a few compliments from people at show :) It was such a cool experience and I had a lot of fun with Melane, a fellow intern :) 









































My sister, Maxine, started a 'Juice Cleanse' blog! It's pretty cool and the art work was made by her friend Andy.

On August 9th it was my boys nan's birthday :) I decorated the house the night before for her, forgot to take a picture, and she was happy. On the day of her birthday the whole family went to dinner at a local harvester. I had a fish pie...and boy was that good! We drank ciders and wine and hung out for 3 hours at the table. It was nice to be invited and see how different families celebrate birthday's. I'm so use to the way my family celebrates, it actually makes me miss them more!  







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

Week 6: Alexis Evelyn Living in London!

On Monday, my boy decided to surprise me and take me to The Shard! We went on floors 68 and 72 and saw some really sick views! I was really happy to be in such an awesome building looking around at city with major history! After we went to eat at Prezzo's...my favorite little Italian place!

 













 

After our date, I met up with an old friend, Bryan, from college that happens to be living in London. He was a graduate from our school majoring in Architecture. Since then he's been traveling around the world and working on a sick shoe line. It was pretty cool catching up and knowing someone from my school is doing great! Check out his work here :) Below is me rocking a pair of his heels!


On Friday night we went out in Shoreditch and got completed "battered" lol. It was a fun night but man the guys out here can drink! We started at 4pm and didn't stop until midnight! I can't even remember which places we went to, but thankfully I took some pictures to remind myself of the night ;)

 






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