A good weekend!

Hannah scored tickets to yesterday's impromptu Kayne West concert and invited me to join! While I'm not exactly a Kayne West fan (and by "not a fan," I mean I'd never even heard a Kayne West song in my LIFE), how could I say no?!

Waiting outside in the queue that snaked around the building twice and 2 full blocks down the street! Freezing to death but so excited!!
The front of the Hammersmith Apollo
Hannah ecstatic that we were finally moving after standing still for 1 full hour!
Inside... waiting for him to come out!
We decided to dress up as "gangsters," so I went and bought a special outfit. Leather jacket, skull and crossbones and all (I ended up leaving the dog collar at home haha)! Such a poser though - my Kate Spade purse definitely gave me away.
2 minutes before it started!
And there he is!


Yes, he's in a storm trooper mask. Naturally.
This is him going on a rant (which lasted 30 full minutes) about how much he hates business people. Hilarious. He is loose cannon.
We had so much fun! Hannah is a die hard fan, and she'd never seen him in concert before, so seeing her so excited made it that much more amazing!!

Then today, Kelly and I got tickets to London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House. Such a unique Sunday afternoon!!

Me at the entrance!
For the first few hours, we walked through the rooms with all of the designer clothes. There was some HIDEOUS stuff - exhibit A below!
Then it was time for the runway show!! The highlight of the day by far! We were so excited to be in the 2nd row!



The finale!
Such a good weekend!!

Random assortment from this past month...

Even though it's technically busy season at work, I've still managed to have some fun... here are my phone pictures from the past 5 weeks.

I love this picture for some reason. Lost in a sea of people commuting on public transport (such a daily occurrence). 
A completely normal conversation in my world at the moment, but I realise it won't be normal forever. Never want to forget these little things. 
Jeff and Katie have moved to London!! Having a lovely American night at our local Duke of Clarence.
Our once-a-year snow in London! The storm started on a Friday, so we all left at lunch so we wouldn't get stuck in the city... took this pic on my way to the tube. Big flakes!
Massive walk the next day, taking in the snowy sights!

Green park - rarely do you see bright green grass underneath the snow!! Loved this!

One Sunday, Greg and Adele hosted us for Sunday roast after church - it was so amazingly British.
Going away party for Rich, who has headed to sunny Australia for 2 years!
Saturday morning brunching with Hannah... love.
So excited for blue skies after snow and rain for 3 straight weekends!
Sunday roast at the Pembroke with Jeff, Jay and Katie
This is looking out my kitchen window - love the chimneys!
To celebrate Suz's 29th birthday, we got all dressed up for a fancy dinner at the RAC (members only club - thanks May!). Such a posh evening!!
So, I may have found my new favorite place in London - the LUXURY CINEMA!!!! We saw Zero Dark Thirty, all comfy in our reclining lazy boy chairs and waiters serving us whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted it! I'll never go back to a regular cinema ever again!
Jay, Jeff and Katie.... loooooving it :)
Met up with Kelly and John for a mid-week dinner at the Automat. Finished it off with an American style chocolate milkshake! Such a treat!
Girls lunch this past Thursday with Liz and Hayley. A little Korean pick-me-up to get us through the rest of the week!
One of my favorite views... approaching the National Gallery... where the best scones in the world await!
Yes, Dad, got to throw this in to make you jealous! It was Hannah's first time... she loved it obvs.
Last night we met up for Indian food and then went over to Jeff and Katie's to play the bean game. Jeff's first taste of Indian (welcome to London)!
Group shot! Such a fun night!
