Monday Memoir - This time last week

 

“I love New York. You can pop out of the Underworld in Central Park, hail a taxi, head down Fifth Avenue with a giant hellhound loping behind you, and nobody even looks at you funny.”

― Rick Riordan

            I managed to perfectly time a vacation in-between the two rainy weeks that just passed through New York (pat myself on the back), but I did have to sacrifice last Sunday night to the rain gods. This much-appreciated vacation unto unknown territory for me was… dare I say, life changing? Yeah, life changing. Besides the fact that I underestimated my shopping budget, now I have a whole new love and appreciation for the city and the term “New Yorkers”. Take me back to those summer days. It’s true what they say; the East Coast just isn’t the same – in a good way.

Bye, Manhattan ..'Til next time.

Walking through Times Square as the sun goes down and the lights shine bright and you’re holding my hand. I was led through the night. 90s tunes in all the bars we stopped through. I never wanted to leave.

Through thick and thin

Dolce Vita Boots (old)

These Dolce Vita Ankle boots were my first pair of weekend boots. You know, the ones that go with almost everything, perfectly formed to your feet, and worn to almost every hangout with friends at some point in time. Through thick and thin you never let me down, but this past year has shown all the wear and tear I’ve put you through. Thanks for the memories, and allowing me to dance - comfortably. Thank you for adding just the right amount of edge to each of my outfits. One last encore.


After many months of searching for a replacement pair, it was bittersweet when I came across these French Connection boots. They caught my attention instantly. ClicktoEnlarge. You could tell how soft the leather was through the computer screen. A very suitable replacement. I imagined all the summer memories we would make together.

Who am I kidding? It was love at first sight.
