What a week. If you’ve stumbled across this blog for the first time, I have to tell assure you that not every week is like this. I promise I am not usually jetting from Phoenix to New York to London to Belfast.

Last week’s high: IDK, the whole thing. Being in New York, hanging out by the pool in Phoenix, spending a day in London before arriving at my grandparents’? All of it.

This week’s goal: Relax. I’m spending the week at my grandparents’ in Ireland and going to my cousin’s wedding and I just need to take a chill pill a bit.

Monday//

What I did: The last day of Pi Beta Phi convention, “Leadership and Literacy” Day. We participated in a leadership workshop and then assembled backpacks of school supplies to be distributed to children in the foster system in the Phoenix area.

What I wore: T-shirt – Provided, Pants – Old – Joe Fresh, Sneakers – Superga (all my links will be UK links this week).

Tuesday//

What I did: Caught up on a wee bit of work, and then hung out at the pool all day with my collegians until their flight. And then I think I got a bit of heat stroke so then I hung out inside and got changed for my red eye to New York.

What I wore: Dress – Hill House Home (same silhouette), Sandals – Target

Wednesday//

What I did: Arrived in New York, got lost immediately, found my hostel, showered, napped, and then hit the streets to explore Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the Seaport area of southern Manhattan.

What I wore: Dress – Old – Reitman’s

Friday 1//

What I did: Went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, ate street meat, was generally hot and sweaty.

What I wore: Striped shirt – Old – Joe Fresh (similar), Halter top – Old – Aritzia, Shorts – Old – Joe Fresh, Sandals – Target

Friday 2//

What I did: Went out for dinner and to see Wicked on Broadway (it was superb!)

What I wore: Slip Dress – Aritzia, Sneakers – Converse (there was a part of me that wanted to wear heels, and I probably would have been fine, but it was just so hot, I couldn’t bear it)

Saturday//

What I did: Wandered around Williamsburg, got a bagel and a slice of pizza as I hadn’t yet this trip, got out to JFK for my red eye to London.

What I wore: Tank – Old – Joe Fresh, Leggings – Ancient – Lululemon, Sneakers – Converse (my old supergas did not survive all the walking I did in New York)

Sunday//

What I did: Got freshened up and changed in the Gatwick airport bathroom (cannot recommend the South terminal bathrooms after you go through security enough, they were fabulous), took the train into London and wandered around Belgravia over to Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. Then back out to Gatwick for my flight to Belfast and got picked up by my grandparents.

What I wore: Cardigan – Old – Hill House Home, Top – Old – Old Navy, Jeans – Old Navy, Sneakers- Converse
