IKEA+ A Campus stroll.


if you have to ask what this is..then we cant be friends.

Library on Jubilee Campus (the universities more modern campus..clearly)







On sunday my Irish lover and I decided to go to IKEA
otherwise known as the mid twenty-40 something hot spot.
It gets pretty wild in there..
especially when you get to the kitchen section..
and don't even get me started on what goes down on those sofas.
My bum is sore from test driving all of those suckers.

My jumpsuit decided to make its second appearance.
But excuse the hemp bag..
When I first got to England I thought it was circa 1975 and my name was Rainbow Flower.
And now I cant seem to get rid of it.
I blame it on the fact that it can conceal a large sized bag of chips.

  7. Aaah, I love Ikea! The Swedish meatballs are my fave. I like to pretend that all those rooms actually belong in my house...it's kind of torturous, but I love it. Many hours have been wasted in Ikea, with no purchases to show for!

  9. did you know I used to be a manager at the IKEA in Atlanta? I managed the textiles area which included comforters, blankets, pillows, rugs, etc.... so basically I would do a lot of jumping into the huge bins filled with comfortable things. It was great. I also hid in the rugs sometimes when I didn't feel like working.

    GOOD TIMES! also, rainbow flower, throw away the hemp bag!!! Police are going to think you are a shoplifter!

  10. Still have never been in an IKEA. One day, I'll need to see what this hype is all about!

    2 other things:
    I wish I had the *cough* chest *cough cough* to pull off a jumper. :(

    I would catch that bag on every single thing that I walked by.

    Skills, I do not have...you, my dear, have a couple....skills, that is.
