NEW YORK!! (and a bit of an insight to my crazy month so far)

Wow wow wow and wow. I literally cannot believe that I have been to New York City! It still feels pretty surreal, and I've been back over two weeks now.

So much has changed, I finished work in retail after 5 years and 9 months, had an interview for a new position the same day I landed back in the UK from NYC, the morning after I was offered the job.

Those that know me well, will really know how much has changed in my life in a short space of time, those that don't know me - I handed in my notice at the end of August, before securing another job (some say reckless, I say taking a risk.....)

I then went to New York with my best friends from the 8th September - 16th. On the way home we landed at 6am ish in Heathrow, had about an hour to quickly get ready for my interview once back in Bristol (I was well prepared, I researched for the job before NYC, during & on the way home)...had my interview 2pm-4pm the same day....the next morning I GOT OFFERED THE JOB! To which I accepted, so far so good...we're in our second week of training and the other guys on the training course are absolute gems!

Anyway...boring part over for you guys, now..in no particular order...PHOTO TIME

Top Of The Rock view, Central Park is an absolutely beautiful place. This view was probably my favourite. I could spend all day up here.

Our first NYC coffee in our first NYC diner...on our FIRST morning in NYC. 
Roxy's Diner.

If you're in NYC, it'd be rude not to order the biggest thing on the menu right? I was pretty full after just the pancakes, but I powered through.

A little sit down to take it all in.

102nd Floor Empire State 1am


That's no where near enough photos to express how awesome this place is. It is now my favourite city ever, before NYC it was Barcelona. I have never felt the way in which NYC makes me feel, it sounds stupid but I really haven't experienced anywhere like it. I love it, it felt like home and I cannot wait to go back. I think it's sinking in that I have actually been, it has taken a while..but as I say - a LOT has changed and happened so quickly. I am happy, enjoy life and keep smiling lovelies.

See you soon NYC
