I traveled to England in February 2007 during my University reading week with my boyfriend. We stayed in Brighton for most of the trip, where his sister Priya was going to school (University of Brighton). We also went to London for the weekend and spent time with their cousin Sonia. We visited Camdon Market which was really cool, and also hit all the other typical tourist spots such as Buckingham Palace & Big Ben.The weather was cool, but I was just happy there wasn't snow!

I had Priya answer a few questions:

Q.What is a staple item for living in England?

A.Wellington boots (rain boots) and an umbrella.

Q. What is a popular trend you noticed while living there?

A. Girls loved the side messy ponytail and tights with the tunic top.

Q. How would you dress for a typical Spring day?

A. Spring is like any other day, rainy, so I always wore my spring Bench jacket.

Q.What is your favourite British store?
A. Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Primark & River Island.
