My First Visitor!

My friend Rina came into town this weekend on her way to India for a business trip. She couldn't have come at a better time. As I told you guys I was feeling homesick this past week so seeing a familar face couldn't have come at a better time. When I saw her I practically tackled her to the ground, I was so ecstatic. She only had Sat day and evening in town before heading to India, so we made the most of it! On a side note, I was fortunate enough to get into stay in a hotel in the city starting on Thursday night of this week until Sunday since I had work in the city during the week. Let me just say staying in a hotel is the way to live. Someone cleans up after you, you gets meals in your room- a girl could get used to this. Also, it was a great to get a break from my apartment in Woking and be part of city life again.

Back to Rina and I.. We had the best day/night one could have in London. We did it all! We shopped, we dined, and we danced. We were both on a mission to find boots for ourselves so we hit Selfridges, which is one of the top department stores in London. This place was ginormous! I got some sassy boots and my first Ted Baker piece, unfortuntately Rina was not able to find any boots- she did get some cute hats! From here we got all gussied up and were ready for a night on the town. We had plans to go a Marleybone for drinks and dinner but by the time we got there everything had closed. Rina and I spent so much time catching up in the hotel room we had lost track of time, oopps! We were planning on meeting up some with people in Soho for dancing so we decided to head straight there and see if we could find something there instead. We were in luck, the cab driver dropped us off right in front of a swanky looking japanese restaurant that was still open! This place was gorgeous and the food was amazing. Here are some pics of Rina and I in the restaurant.

I'm wearing my Ted Baker piece and Rina is sporting one of her new hats!

From here we went to a salsa club down the street called Floridita where we meet up with some friends I've meet through my friend Sahana. This place was a blast! Although I'm not a big fan of salsa the place was jumpin and there were quite a few good lookin' men! One in particular...

Bachelor #1- Sandy- hedge fund banker, lives in Chelsea, from Pittsburgh, plays in a band and can dance!
I'm smitten, Sahana I can't believe you held out on me! Now I need to reel him in, the question is how?

Rina left this morning and though I was sad to see her go I needed to catch up on sleep. She is going to try and come back in December for a week. So whose next?
