Vogue & Other Business!

*Note, this has been a delayed blogpost due to the amount of work that is upon me! 

After the first few manic weeks, I was able to take a night off and experience something that I have always wanted to be apart of. 

Vogue's Fashion Night Out, an annual event held in various cities across the world. One night where designer brands stay open late, hand out free cocktails and lure you in to buy their goods. Obviously a lot of press and famous people attend, but it is open to the public who can wonder around and if you're like me - pretend that you are someone famous! 

The atmosphere was amazing, people dressed in beautiful clothes, people taking photos for their blogs and a countless flow of champagne.Within every shop, we were offered a signature cocktail, for instance in Tiffany's a blue cocktail was much appreciated. Even though I couldn't afford anything in any of the shops, it was a wonderful thing to attend, to have a mooch around and drink free drinks. And who doesn't love free drinks!? 

Earlier that week, Megs and I found a new cafe that looked pretty sweet called Hutspot. It's a cafe/art space/clothes shop and was originally opened by a group of teenagers for a creative space. The menu wasn't extensive but had enough to satisfy your tastebuds. The decor was really interesting, minimal but also had a 70's vibe to it. After lunch we decided to go full out and try their cakes and I must say, they were much better than the actual lunches themselves. Inside the shop, they had an old school Photo Booth, which you had to wait for the film to be developed. So you can find a snippet of the photo strip below. 

The last few weeks or so has been absolutely crazy with work. The work load is so much that trying to fit anything else in is nearly impossible. Homesickness comes and goes, but I think that natural for anyone that moves abroad. Hopefully as the weeks go by, the workload becomes easier and I can actually find time to explore the city, as there is so much to do and to experience, it would be a shame to waste it. 

Today - my wonderful mommy is coming out to see me for a few days, so we are going to try and cram in as much as possible. I can't wait to see her, it's been a long time.. well 5 weeks.
