Flying out Tuesday evening! Before I head to London though, I'm taking my official summer vacation out to France for my cousin's wedding this week! I have family that lives in Cergy, part of the 'burbs of Paris. It is a pretty big occasion since this is the first of my 1st cousins to get married. Definitely can't wait to hug and kiss so many of my cousins, aunts and uncles that I have not seen in a few years. I know we have all been looking forward to this.
This is why I LOVE family weddings. They bring everyone together to do nothing but celebrate and have a crazy good time :)
Now, how gorgeous is Cergy?

Trendy.
Ever since Topshop popped up in New York City a few months ago, London fashion has taken my attention by storm. Although I never made it around to the store near Broome Street, I've been on the website on a weekly basis and they have some super chic pieces! For one, the cropped tops caught my eye and with a pair of skinnies, anyone wearing them in NYC would be awarded a double-take. I especially love the ones with sequin detailing and floral prints:

The tunic tops are very interesting. Floral prints seem to be popular, but some have crazy prints and loud cutouts as well. Topshop seems to have a great mix of soft and bold collections. Still can't figure out if these work for my taste or not, but they are nothing short of unique...

Pre-Departure Pep
Hey guys!
I'm going to be a junior at New York University and will be studying at the international NYU campus in London this upcoming fall semester! This blog will cover the 4 Ls of London: Lunching, Lounging, Looking and Living. In the past couple months, London has been all I can talk about. Not only is it a great conversation starter but many have told me on numerous occasions: "You'll have a great time in London...and I'm sure you won't have much trouble adjusting since London is very similar to NYC for the most part." Well, let's see just how true that holds to be...
This blog is meant to show what it's like to live in London from a New Yorker's P.O.V. As most NYU students know, it's not easy to live on a college student budget in the city. But it's going to be even harder to manage money in London where 100 dollars is only worth 60 pounds (talk about a rip-off!). I've worked hard this summer for 13 weeks (with 1 to go) at my finance internship and found that I have not only gained some very valuable work experience, but also made a nice chunk of money to make the most of my study abroad experience this fall. But as everyone in finance knows, money should be spent wisely...with a little splurging every now and then. Where better to do it?
NYU in London's Academic Center in Bedford Square seems absolutely stunning at night, doesn't it?
So keep checking back to read about and see pictures from my experiences in London and other English and European cities this upcoming fall. I'll keep you guys posted on the food, nightlife, trendy looks and other odds and ends there. Ta-ta for now!
