city meets country.

Okay, so I’ll be completely honest here: I don’t really do country and I don’t do rodeos.  Truth is, I once bought a pair of cowboy boots … and then only wore them once.  Needless to say, I’m much more of a city girl that is occasionally inspired by the country spirit.  So maybe my interpretation involves sequin and leopard — would you expect anything less?

You may have noticed that I don’t wear hats very often/at all on the blog.  As much I would love to be a hat person, I suffer from a very serious condition called megalocephaly.

Just kidding.  I googled “medical condition for abnormally large heads” and that fancy term came up on the search engine.  In reality, I’m just very insecure about my rather rotund head — so much so that I sometimes ask the BF to lean in when we take pictures together so that we don’t look so disproportionate.

Having an oversized head prevents me from scooping up a few trendy toppers on my wish list (like these leather or leopard caps), but this weekend, I found the first baseball cap to fit my noggin in the men’s section of H&M.  No shame here — I love borrowing from the boys.  Just don’t ask me to join your fantasy football team.

Today marks the completion of my first year in New York City!  It’s been a year full of challenges and adventures — with a bit of glamour and a whole lot of grit.  Still, I’ve been lucky enough to have experienced a few magical moments in NYC and I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate my first year here than by having a little Carrie Bradshaw moment of my own.

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time was a special moment for me.  It took me nearly six months to actually do it, but once I did, I realized how for the first time, walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan felt like I was heading home.  So now I return from time to time — not usually dressed in a fluffy tulle skirt and lace up heels — but always in awe of incredible city I get to call home.
