Small Cheese, Big Apple

It all started with a movie.

One line from the movie to be exact.

"It's like net-flix for purses."

Sex and the City brought to my attention the fact that I might not have to be Carrie Bradshaw to enjoy the big labels every girl dreams of. I decided to make use of Google once more.

[Bag, borrow, or steel]

And behold, net-flix for purses does not just rent out bags, but accessories as well. And then the day-dream started.

I saw myself in NYC with the PRADA small rose satchel. I saw myself with Sara Jessica Parker's haircut. I saw myself seated at a club, sipping cosmos with my best girlfriends.

How much I could just see myself enjoying fashion, friends, and Friday nights. I imagine the best part would be feeling free. Knowing that I could just put on something nice, grab my bag, and go enjoy the city. Coffee. Store after store. Yellow cabs. Crowds. People whistling or throwing a hand up to hail a cab. Go anywhere, anytime. Freedom to meet people. Freedom to get lost and discover new things. Freedom to own and show off expensive clothes, shoes, bags, sunglasses etc.

Freedom to try new things.

Freedom to find myself.

Freedom to enjoy the city girl buried not-so-deep inside me.

Freedom from the small town life. The big city is where you can cross the street and be in another world completely. There's room to breath without feeling like 'this is it'. The city is where it's never quiet, never too still, and in that way it is perfectly peaceful.
