Happy birthday blog!

New York à la Keiko is 3 years old today!! Which also means that I have been living in New York for just over 3 years!

People often ask me if I plan on staying in New York forever... Well, it is difficult to answer because it is difficult to plan life. Just like I had never planned on moving in New York in the first place. For now, I know that I will be calling New York my home for a while. Sometimes I can see why New York can be so hard and why many people think if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. New York really swallows you, chews you up and spits you out but often stronger and better. I'm looking forward to living here for many more years however, if opportune comes to live elsewhere, I think I'm up for it. Life's too short to stick around in one place but sticking around in New York will always be fun and exciting. Dave is a born and bred New Yorker but he's just as excited as me to explore the city every chance we get :)

How many years do I have to live in New York to truly feel like a New Yorker?

Fellow bloggers ...fashion, lifestyle, street-style bloggers

Fashion, lifestyle, street-style bloggers ...

It is not so rare anymore to meet bloggers here, there, everywhere. In fact, during Fashion week, I randomly met a couple of bloggers and learned about their blogs for the first time which is always delightful. Some are students who write on their spare time but most girls I've met are full time bloggers which allows them to attend many many shows throughout Fashion week. However, when I actually bump into a blogger whom I actually know and follow (not reciprocated unfortunately) I was very excited. Kinda like meeting a celebrity but feeling like I know them already since I sort of know their likes and dislikes, favorite colors, quirks and peeves and whatever they share on their blog. Last year, at a DIY event with Ms Erica Domesek from P.S. I Made This proved that she's one funny babe. There are a couple of bloggers I would still like to meet such as Leandra from The Man Repeller, Nicole from Gary Pepper Vintage but she's located in Australia and Elin Kling from Elin Kling although I'm not sure if she's seem approachable and also lives in the UK. There are many more bloggers I'd like to meet out there but these are the ones I can think of right this moment.

I must mention again that meeting blogosphere celebs like Garance Dore and Scott Schuman at the book signing was also very exciting. I actually saw Scott Schuman after a fashion show at the Mercedes Benz tents and was just as excited to see him again but this time, in his own element (Shoot me please? Scott? Please? I don't have fancy shoes or have a cigarette in my hand but, please take a picture of me?).

As for me, I still feel like a newbie at this and blogging is a hobby and not my full time job. I try to devote as much time as I can since it is sort of my personal space to share with everyone what I like to do.

Argh, I need more accessories! Well, I just need to wear them out more.
