I miss New York mostly when I watch movies. Movies make New York so dreamy.
"The September Issue" makes New York part of the ever-so-unreachable "Paris-London-Rome" scene and being in NYC makes you part of that too. In reality, I often think that Santa Monica has more of the European vibe, that I tend to romanticize and crave. I walk to the boulangerie for fresh sour dough bread, I bike to the ocean, there's The Stinky Cheese Store two blocks down from us, people at the bank know me by name and we wear hats - pretty sun hats with wide brims. I love you, Santa Monica. And sometimes, I miss you, New York.
P.S. I love biographies! Style interests me only as a part of it.
I also loved A.W.'s consistency with jewelry. She had just a couple of (similar) necklaces, that she alternated and a little cross.

But most of all, I miss my friends - and that's why I miss New York.
