Europe Part 2: Lake District to Scotland

Okay this is a bold statement but this may have been one of my favorite parts of the trip! These pictures don't do justice, the scenery is unreal in Lake District and Scotland! I had never seen anything like it in my life! We decided to rent a car and drive from London to Scotland and I'm so happy we did.....besides having to drive on the opposite side of the car and opposite side of the road haha My husband did all the driving since he lived in London for 2 years and I was terrified for my life! I wish I could put into words how amazing everything was but I think you would only understand if you have seen it for yourself! I mean look at those white wild horses down below, I swear they were unicorns haha Anyways Scotland was unreal, I would totally live there! I hope you can get a little glimpse of what I am talking about from these pics!

it was slightly windy haha

Bring on the Heat

So let's just say it was insanely hot today where I am and I knew I had to throw on some shorts and for me there is nothing better than a fun, chill, over sized short! I love pairing over sized men like shorts with some hot heels and a killer lip! Oh and don't ask me about my top knot in these pics haha didn't realize it was quite so huge!
Oh and don't worry, there will be plenty more Europe posts, just wanted to mix it up a little in between!
p.s. I'm sorry if it feels like I'm taking forever to email back! I am trying to get through all the emails while trying to settle in back home, get some needed rest, and catch up on life! But I promise I will get to them!

Europe Part 1: London

I don't even know where to begin with London, it feels like it was forever ago that we were there! It was our first stop and I'm so glad it was! The best words for me to describe London are fast pace! Everyone ran everywhere haha I am not used to that so it was really entertaining to me. I was a little partial to London because my husband lived there for 2 years while serving his mission so I was so excited to see it! Everything seemed so surreal, from the accent (which I wish I had), to the unreal sites, the amazing shopping, and of course the cars on the opposite side of the road. I swear I almost got hit by a car over 20 times and that is not exaggerating! Anyways we saw as many places as we could and here are a few of the pics! I have soo many pics that I could share but I tried to just pick a few of my favs, sorry there are still a ton I know! Most of them are from the camera but some are from my phone so ignore the blurriness! I hope you enjoy! Oh and outfit details will be in there so make sure you don't miss them!
