Labels & Love... but mostly love.

Oh, Sex & the City, how do you know me so well? Isn't it crazy how a TV show/movie just nails your life? I mean honestly, most girls who watched this show and fell in love with it, and then fell in love with it all over again when the movies came out can agree, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha are living and or talking about your own life. 

My friends and I have sat around and had heated discussions on which one of the "fab four" fits each of us the best.  Am I a Miranda, nope, def not.  Errr but maybe I am? Sarcastic and career minded? That fits the me well.  Although, so does Charlotte, I'm a sucker for romance, and am bound and determined to have my own happily ever after.  Sometimes though, Samantha and her ability to not let any man in or get too close seems to fit me as well.  My closest friends joke that I don't have a soul, nice friends right? JK.  So then we take a look at Carrie and how I am her, out of the box fashion choices and when I fall for a guy I fall hard.  So which girl do I relate with the best? Can I just be a combo of all four?

"Year after year twenty something women come to New York City in search for the two ‘L’s’ -- labels and love."

I moved to NYC at the ripe old age of 25 (over a year ago! WOWZER!) in search of many things, two of which being, great fashion and love.  Growing up in a small town leaves not a lot of options when it comes to the dating scene.  You've either grown up with the guys since Kindergarten or one of your "besties" "dated" the guy you are into in like, the 5th grade and somehow she still has claim on him. WHAT!? I'm not saying there isn't a guy back home that COULD POTENTIALLY be someone to take a second look at, but for the time being, we are just going to accept that "Prince Charming" doesn't live in Chautauqua County. 

Now, meeting a guy isn't really the reason I moved to NYC, it just helps that there is a large dating pool of guys in suits walking around mid-town Manhattan, where I just happen to spend a lot of time.  Job opportunities and fashion were also high on the bill. 

It's been over a year since I've moved to the Big Apple and well, the dating scene is proving to be not the best.  I've "dated" or was "seeing" a few guys, okay like two guys-but who's keeping score- and they were NOT at the same time, but they didn't pan out into anything, which is reality, is fine with me, neither guy was someone I wanted to have a serious relationship with, and I'm totally cool with it. But really, where do all those handsome suited guys hang out when they aren't at work or on their lunch break walking around East side, mid-town Manhattan? I would really like to know, so please, if you do know, report back (seriously)!

Until then, my bank account will remain non-existent while I bide my time with shopping for labels :) Okay, so I try to save a little every month, but the shoes were on sale, and if the shoe fits-buy it, right?

Kissing.

Kissing: To touch or caress with the lips as an expression of affection, greeting, respect, or amorousness.

besos

xxxx

My very intelligent younger sister told me once that kissing is like shaking hands.  I am IN LOVE with this statement. Kissing should never complicate things.  Ever.  At least that's what I think, because I love kissing.

love.love.love

I fell in love today. Twice.

Once, with Jones Bakery on Pine St. Go there right now, it's delicious.

And second...well, we all have our secrets don't we...

He's just not that into you if...

...he's sleeping with you but won't commit. At sone point you need to take a step back and move on.

Sex and the City

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

"Just Friends"

Ever think things would be easier if you were always "just friends"? No late night hook ups, no dates, no talking about your future.

If you were always just friends no one gets hurt...but you also may miss out on the love of your life..

...are you willing to risk that by remaining "just friends"?

Get Prepared.

To my future Mr.

Love,

your future Mrs.
