A New York City Dream come True

After my first journalism class my freshman year of high school, I dreamt of living in New York. It wasn’t long before my thoughts were consumed with fantasies of being a city girl and all the exciting things I’d get to see and do. At the time I had never been to New York and despite that fact, I loved it and wanted it badly. And also in my dreams I saw myself writing New York Times Best Sellers. But as the year went on, I found another love. Fashion. Fashion, New York, New York, Fashion. “They kind of go together,” I thought.

I became obsessed with “New York activities” (for lack of better words haha). The Met Ball every year, the movie scene, the writing scene, the people, and most importantly Fashion Week. After so many years of dreaming of being in the city I was finally able to visit this July.

My long time fantasy of New York life had finally became reality. And let me tell you guys, I was not disappointed. There's so many "loves" in this one post, but it should really tell you how much my heart felt at home. I love the sight of tall buildings and city life, the individuality I see from the locals, the food, the culture. It's like a whole new world there! 

I once had a love affair with Dallas, TX but it was completely over once I step foot on the Met steps. New York is a special place, and has won a special place in my heart. Nothing else compares. If I could, I'd be here in a heartbeat. 

I will hopefully be coming back this October if I'm accepted into the Teen Vogue University 2013 Seminar! Wish me luck!

Lastly: enjoy these kind of crappy photos with my iPhone!
