Happy Thanksgiving!

I ordered some delicious turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green beans for lunch today from Bea's of Bloomsbury. My friend Sahar and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast but went into food comas as soon as we finished eating!

Versace for H&M

This morning the Versace for H&M collection went on sale in London. Rather than camping outside H&M and waiting in line for hours like many people did, I decided to stay home and try to buy the dress and leggings that I wanted online. It took a while to get on the website since the traffic was so high, but after refreshing the site again and again, I was finally able to make my purchases. I'm proud to say that I am now the owner of this unbelievable dress:

And these leggings!

Now I just need Nicki Minaj's crazy green wig:

Queen's visit!

Today the Queen visited Goodenough College, the postgraduate residence where I currently live. She is the patron of the College, so she visits every few years to check on things and say hello. I was able to get a few photos of her and was struck by her beauty - her royal blue dress and hat were stunning, her smile was lovely, and her face was radiant. (The photos don't do her justice!)

Spookster potato snacks!

These Halloween snacks are my latest obsession. I love the simple, goofy design, and they look beauitful against the light! (I am probably the only person who sees beauty in spooky potato snacks.) My boyfriend likes them too!
