In London, I realized my love for NYC...actually...my UNHEALTHY love for NYC.
Most of you know, I love London. I love the vibe--the more care-free, yet sophisticated aura. I love the fashion sense: never in NYC have I met a man dressed to the nines, in an ivory suit, pink dress shirt and ivory hat. very British. (he was obviously drinking Pimm's!) I adore being able to drink in PARKS! and the list goes on...
But, during my 10 days in my beloved London, I missed my home sweet home. There are things that I just take for granted--24 hour public transportation, yellow cabs, and stores staying open late, especially during the summer. So when I had to wait for the nightbus, because the tube stops working at midnight, I wished I were in NYC, hailing a yellow cab.
So, today, I spent my day in the city--what is more New York than a Spa day followed by some shopping on 5th ave? And as I walked along 5th ave, dropping by Bendels (missing the Carebear SOOOO MUCH!), I felt justified in my love for New York.
This is my home. And I can love it as much as I want to.
LOVE AFFAIR WITH NYC, please do not disturb.
(seriously, I don't want to seem too dramatic about not being able to live anywhere but NYC, but it's really true. BUT....i do love london ...to visit.)

Thanks for the shout out. Boyfriend just told me that he walked past Bendel's on Sunday, pre-flight and it was closed. He was going to go because it reminded him of me. PS They opened a bendel's in michigan today... I freaked out at the grand opening with mum, that I don't work there. miss you <3
