I haven't blogged in a day and it feels like forever (that is good no). So anyhow, it's Saturday and I've got so much to do and so little time BUT a post is way overdue and seeing as yesterday's temperature hit record levels, I thought I'd do a quick one on why summer is fabulous, especially in London!!!
You know it's summer when:
1. You leave your crib for absolutely no reason but to show off your latest hairstyle, pedicure and tights-free legs.
2. There are uncountable barbecue/house party invites every weekend.
3. You find yourself staring out of your window for far too long because your neighbours all of a sudden look more attractive.
4. You hear foreign languages in the changing room and one or two of those happen to be Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa.
5. Your body lotion lasts longer than your shower gel.
6. You go through the necessary 1 litre bottle of water a day just to stay hydrated and not for vanity purposes.
7. Your mother asks where you're going in your "underwear"
8. You call in sick every Monday, after partying all weekend and getting drunk on cheap Vodka.
9. Being single becomes more coveted than being in a relationship.
10. There are so many pregnant women about (after the cuddly winter months *wink*).
11. You can have an ice lolly and not feel like a big kid.
12. You brave the mammoth queues at Primark to stock up on strictly summer essentials like flip flops.
13. You are on a diet without even realising it because you are too busy having so much fun that eating becomes a time waster (hmmm not so sure about that).
14. You wear a pair of jeans but then take a pit stop at Topshop to buy a pair of shorts and change into them pronto!
15. You save your strolls for just before sunset to avoid going a shade darker than your MAC foundation.
16. All the beautiful people seem to be shopping in London (Beyonce was spotted in Topshop just a few days ago)
17. Hanging around the West End is as entertaining as watching an episode of Gossip Girl.
18. Someone is cruising beside you as you walk, trying to get your phone number.
19. Taking the bus is more convenient than taking the tube (I hear that!)
20. Driving past a bus stop, has more action than cruising down Amsterdam's red light district.
21. Everyone seems to be wilder than you remembered a few months ago.
22. You seem less bothered about going on a holiday because London has it all!
23. You draw inspiration for your next outfit from MTV Base rather than Grazia or Vogue lol (not me!).
24. Party planning is more lucrative than a 9-5 job.
25. When you remember everyone on your BB / Facebook contact list has a face because you will run into them at one event or the other.
The list is endless but summer is here and so far it's one hell of a scorcher...luv it! Off to get ready for a wedding reception, to stun or not to stun, that is the question of the next 40mins eeeks!
