There is so much Magic in the Oridnary.....

Hello 28 year old self. Your living in the most fantastic city in the world. Your doing what you love to do and you have amazing friends and family in your life. I understand now when Carrie Bradshaw said this “Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”


I think the older I get the more I have started to come into my own. If only I knew now what I had known then. I had this false sense of self in my early 20's. But the older I get the more I start to understand my body, people and life in general. I laugh now when these early 20 somethings at work ask me "Where in the City do you go out?" I reply with always the same answer.....well I don't really go out as much anymore....Not really into the Club scene anymore. I like a good bar with great music and a diverse crowd. I think I enjoy dinner parties with friends more.....and an awesome concert...with that's just a recipe for a great night!

So I guess I can't say that I am homebody but I do enjoy my alone time. Now that's something that I think that comes with age. Being surrounded by millions of people every day daily...welll sometimes a girl just needs to take it back to her boudoir and decompress. These days I feel like I need to take a timeout from dating or even thinking about dating. I feel like I am in that selfish stage of my life right now.....Suddenly all the pieces are starting to fall together and I am trying so gracefully to make all the right moves. But I can always take a moment to appreciate an handsome well dressed man.....
Now that I am working on the Upper West Side I have been flooded with memories of my early 20's.

It's funny I used to live on Central Park West on the Upper West Side after graduating college.....and I just thought the people on the Upper West Side were sooooo boring darling.....It's funny I always felt like my best friend Cooper and I stuck out in our neighborhood not only because our looks were total opposites but because I am sure people were like who are these two kids living in our building?!?!?...They probably could see that..well....we were living in the moment....So at night we would get ready and leave and go downtown in our latest outfits (Cooper would even sew an outfit 15mins before we would leave and believe me when I say this but she always looked fly! Love her style! Have to get her on this blog. Anyway, we went out to all the hot spots in the city....You name the club....we probably were there in VIP somewhere dancing up a storm and leaving the night wrapped in our fur coats and return to our building as our neighbors would be walking their dogs in the morning. Good times. But there even better times to come....Miss you Cooper.


SO you get that I enjoy a good party but I am no longer the party girl. Also I think my old views of the Upper West Side may be changing because although it's not really known for its nightlife in the city.....I see a lot of hot men everyday as I walk to and from work. Therefore, its time to find new ways to meeting new people with the same interests. This past weekend I went to a wine tasting that my friend Lara has been raving about and to my surprise there were a few good looking men circulating in the crowd. Not only was I able to drink for free but I had a wonderful time meeting new people. To all the SINGLE LADIES.....put on your long maxi dress, a cute wedge, a great cocktail ring and find a wine tasting event in your area. You or your friend WILL MEET SOMEONE!

Hopefully through my little blog.....you can maybe learn a few things from my friends and I. If not that...then hopefully a good laugh. Can't wait to share my journey with you guys! Cheers!
