New York fashion is something I have always adored. Smart, chic and simple - it is the type of style that inspires me. With Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen being two of my favourite designers, they both en capture everything I love about a collection. Neutral tones, clean lines, but mixed perfectly with the cool and relaxed vibe New York oozes. Denim and cotton being popular fabrics of choice, they look wearable and sophisticated. My perfect combination.
But the show that completely sold New york to me - both as a fashion capital and a fantastic place to live - has to be Sex and the City. The free spirit of the four women and the amazing lifestyles they all live just made it an ambition to live and work there - so a weeks trip will be sufficient for now.
But I would have to be prepared to work as hard as the New Yorkers. It's not know as 'the city that doesn't sleep' for no reason. Early mornings and late nights in the office are standard and a nine until five job is almost unheard of. If you want something you must be prepared to work for it.
Although I love being able to wear jeans and trainers to an office London, at heart, I am a heels and dress girl. So as high heeled shoes are a part of the 'uniform' in a working environment in the big apple, I would fit in perfectly. I just might have to work a bit harder to afford the amount of Manolo Blahnik's that Carrie had.
Of course these are all images that I have created form either television programmes or stories friends and family have told me after visiting themselves. So I can not wait to finally be able to tell my own tales of the adventures I had in New York.
