Caribbean baby!

29-08-2010;

A friend of mine, Deniece, which is also student at the ABKM, is an intern at Preen now here in London. So we catch up today and made it a nice, swinging’sunshiny day, @ Notting Hill Carnival!

Starting its life as a local festival set up by the West Indian community of the Notting Hill area, it has now become a full-blooded Caribbean carnival, attracting millions of visitors from all over the globe.
With many astonishing floats and the sounds of the traditional steel drum bands, scores of massive sound systems plus not forgetting the hundreds of stalls that line the streets of Notting Hill. The Notting Hill Carnival is arguably London's most exciting annual event!

Here some mood vibes for you, the outfits totally rocked, but it was sooooo crowded that some tube stations nearby closed for security reasons!

Although Deniece and I had a nice day, and were glad to be a part of this big exotic event! :)
