Back in the Hood

I'm finally back in England, after what seems like forever, but is actually only a mere two & a half weeks. What a lovely time I had!
I seriously had a wonderful time. Anna and I partied hard in Vegas and had a fabulously glamourous time, followed by a horrific hangover. San Francisco was suitably chilled out and we had a great time flouncing around the city and taking in the atmospheres of the different neighbourhoods. A very varied holiday and just what I needed! Lots of shopping was done - mainly cosmetics, of course, and I'll be doing a haul post sometime soon.

I took my polaroid camera and Anna & I decided to keep a polaroid journal of the holiday. I scanned the photos earlier, along with some photobooth strips we had taken. Don't ask me to explain the poses - they're mostly just ridiculous in-jokes! Some digital photos may come in a later post.

I got home yesterday afternoon, with a newly acquired Vitamin Water obsession (Sync/Defense - the way forward) and a huge anticipation for all TV shows with new seasons airing on the CW - Gossip Girl, yes please!

Think I'm over the jetlag after sleeping for 16 hours, but we'll see - the real test is tonight! Hope you've all been well! Give me a while to catch up, as I have 500+ posts to get through on bloglovin. What I've seen of the Maybelline event looked great and I hope everyone who attended had fun!

Expect some more posts over the weekend!
