I got inspiration to write again from my friend Shona, who is studying abroad right now in Australia.... I wouldn't want to let her down!
It's starting to become easier living here. Not that it was hard to begin with, but my love/hate relationship with this city is slowly becoming more of a love/slighty hate relationship as the weather gets warmer. As I analyze my surroundings during my daily commute, I've come to realize this is the concensus amongst New Yorkers in general. Everyone has an extra beat in their step and a rare smile, okay more of a rare grin as New Yorkers don't smile, on their face.
Which makes me to believe also, that New Yorkers don't know how to handle warm weather. For example, Wednesday was just shy of 60. What did everyone do? Go outside...in mass quanities. We at work even decided to stop working and go for a run in the park. There were more people in Central Park that Wednesday at 1 pm than I have seen on a Saturday or Sunday. Does anyone work in New York? Seriously, doesn't everyone have a job or something? Maybe that's why the economy is in recession....everyone in the financial district decided to leave and go for a 5-miler around the Resevoir.
I'm not gonna lie, we at the office didn't know how to handle the warm weather as well, as following our run we took the rest of the day off more or less and went to eat at Republic and had outdoor seating. On the subway ride to Union Square we saw girls in short skirts and tank tops, men in flip flops, shorts, and wearing straw hats, and other fashion ensembles that were a little too revealing for the increase in temperature. This I guess only proves my point, people here don't know how to handle the warm weather.
Today was a wonderful day at work, as I went to the Loomstate showroom to pull pieces and create looks for our event. In the process, I got a free pair of jeans! The PR girl was so grateful that we included them in the event, that Cas walked out of the showroom with a pair of jet black, skinny, 100% organic cotton Loomstate jeans! Sweet deal, as I've been itchin' to buy a pair, and spending anymore money right now just simply doesn't work in my budget. Tomorrow consists of pulling more pieces and looks, but this time from Carasan. Their showroom is in Brooklyn by the way. Maybe I'll walk away a winner again?
Toodles!
