Brown Girl in London

The "to buy" list so far...

I've been working on a budget to see me through until that fateful day in April 2006 when I get on that plane. From the information I've read so far there are items that may be unavailable in London or expensive - so I think I better stock up.

So far it looks like this...
1. Toothpaste - I only like Colgate Total
2. Floss - because I don't want to get gum disease
3. Shampoo & Conditioner - only Dove
4. Advil - only the liquid-fast migraine relief kind
5. Face cleanser- so I stay pretty
6. Vitamins - so that I don't get scurvy

Things I'd like to get are a new pair of jeans, something that fits nice and is cool and trendy. I'm living in a pair of $20 Walmart ones these days, so my style is hurting. Don't worry, I own more pants than that, it's just these are so comfy and right now I'm opting for comfort over style. However, in London, there's no way I'm going frumpy! My friend told me she bought a pair of Se7en jeans yesterday for $215.00 - ummm I'm not crazy either - I'm aiming at $100 as a reasonable price for a stylish pair of jeans. I'm realizing that I've been out-of-the-loop for a while now when it comes to fashion as I have no idea where to start when it comes to looking for these elusive jeans. I guess the mall. So, a trip to the mall shall be planned for the near future.

The other thing I want to get is one of those Canon Selphy printers. I want to be able to use my own photographs as postcards. Perhaps I can do this in London instead of getting a printer and lugging it around. But they're so cute and compact. Ah well, we'll see about this one.
