culture shock.

I never thought the day would come where I could relate my own personal experiences to the terribly boring work I did last term at University, but it has. 
Since I've been back from LA I've been in some sort of weird depression, which is also known as re-entry shock. After spending so long in another place, re-entering into your previous culture can be, a tad tricky lets say. I've gotten dressed twice in the past 4 days and the only time I left the house was to go to a PR event in London (there was a free bar- no one was keeping me away)

Today however, is the day when I admit the fact to myself that I'm not in California anymore, I am well and truly in England. But before I focus on the here and now entirely here's what I'm missing from my trip.... 

My uh-mazing cousin, Adrian. It was here birthday yesterday and I'm gutted I wasn't there :( 
Happy Birthday Pinky! 

The gorgeous weather, and beautiful scenery. 
This is the view from my Aunt & Uncle's house in the Valley. 

THE FOOD: Where do I start? Yes there are all those hideously unhealthy fast food restaurants but you can also live a very healthy lifestyle. LA caters for all needs.... 
Shrimp & Avacado salad @ The Farmers Market. YUM.

Every Saturday on her lunch break, me and my cousin would head off to Corner Bakery, a delicious place for breakfast, lunch or a snack. 
My usual; an Uptown Turkey & Mango + Pomegranate Frozen Lemonade. yessir' 


My Focus now is to get saving, and head back to LA for a week or two in September before I go back to Uni for what looks like the hardest most intense year of my life. 

So, I'm off to get dressed, which is actually quite fun now I have all these gorgeous clothes from America, and yes I'm aware of the fact its nearly 1pm. But it's a saturday. Cut me some slack haha. Have a great weekend! XOXO AVS

Looking sweeet as ever, you've totally motivated me to search further afield with work experience and stuff. I might be flying out to Hong Kong after graduation for a year of fashion PR and marketing with my cousin! (: When I get my new camera, can we go to London and do generic bloggy things and catch up and have drinks?! xxxxx
