Now I know most people usually start off with one of those introductory posts, talking about them and what they aim to get out of blogging, well frankly I find those boring and cliché...
So I'd rather get straight into the blog with my first post, but if you would like to learn a little about me, my name is Chloe, I'm an 18 year old fashion marketing student studying in Nottingham, and originally from Sheffield. It's really northern and un-glamorous, something not all that attractive for your average bloggers usually from London with fabulous fashion sense and a knack for writing. But, please, if you can get past all that, I'm hoping you'll enjoy my blog anyway, so let's get on with the show.
A few weeks ago, at the beginning of January, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go to New York with my university course, and I have to say it was probably the most amazing experience of my life. Now this is coming from someone who's been to France probably over 100 times in her life, and who went to Hawaii when she was younger, so it was pretty hard to beat in my books.
But in short it was totally fabulous, and as you can see from the title I'm naming it my spiritual home, in the hope I can one day go back for either a holiday, or -of course- to live.
This picture is from the day we went up the Empire State Building, and it was utterly stunning, I remember walking up to the huge lifts, ascending higher and higher until the top, the 86th floor. As we got out into the viewing area, I was completely lost for words, I was literally stood there gawping at the view, it had always been my dream to go to New York, and I can only say that it was mesmerising.
One of the things that amazed me, was that even though it was all commercialised buildings or expensive apartments fitted with the conference rooms and minimalistic furnishings, there was something oddly beautiful about it, almost perfectly imperfect.
Everyone who says anything about the city is right, whether that be positive or negative: a historic, yet romantic place that never sleeps, and works harder and longer than anyone else in the world. It's fascinating and addictive and I never wanted to leave, there's enough sights to fill your time for a month, and enough food to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites.
