5th January 2011.

Here I am! In NYC. Got here at half 10 and now I'm all settled into my room.

Never have I been so excited in my life! It's such an amazing city- everything I've ever dreamed of, my eyes watered as we touched down, as this is honestly one of the most exciting times in my life. Just looked out of the hotel window to see yellow cabs chasing down the streets, bursting with life, under the tall towering buildings. Just my dream. As for now, we are about to head out and explore this big city.

...............................................

First things first, we went to Macdonalds for lunch! Brilliant. First place we head for food- at least they post all of the calories on the boards here. We got a yellow cabs straight away; I felt so sex and the city. And we made our way to some of the big hits- Bloomingdales, Saks, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters... I made sure I purchased the new Limited edition Chanel Nailvarnish in Saks; Black Pearl. We stayed out in NY all evening, had dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant called 'Mimis', there were fairylights, breadbaskets and live music- was perfect. We also decided to make the most of our time here and headed out in the evening- went to the comic strip and saw so many hilarious comediens; defintely worth being over tired for; loved getting to experience a bit of the New York night life.

I love NYC at night, the whole city is just alive; the toweing buildings amaze me, you're just one anonymous person. Feels like you can be who ever you want to be; I know one day I will end up here.

Of corse, as much as I am enjoying the experience of this City, I am also making sure I keep my eyes open for new ideas from the US market for our work, I've already seen so much amazing forms of promotion, huge billboards, creative VM and the customer service is a whole new experience. Tommorrow we're heading to FIT, central Park and guess what? More SHOPPING. I could get used to this.

I simply love New York, please don't make me go home.
