Flip Flops, Iced Coffee, and Pedicures oh my...

When I think of New York in the Summer, I think of the hit 1966 lyrics by the band The Lovin' Spoonful. "Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty..." the say it all.

New York is brutally hot and uncomfortable 3 months of the year. People tend to let their hair down and become more carefree about everything from attire to attitude. I observed a trend that happens during this brief season. I have found New Yorkers have a little more spring in their step, or should I say spring in their flip flops. I also enjoy wearing mine, with a fresh florescent pedicure with my favorite "Fancy Fuchsia" color nail polish. Click clack, as women with purpose walk down the streets. I love how it drowns out the traffic replacing it with shoe chatter. In true New York fashion, women stop and say " Are those Tory Burch, or I love your flip flops are they Michael Kors?" I also love the summer iced coffee rituals, or as I like to call it a movement. The morning lines at Starbucks are packed with all walks of life practically clawing the walls and running people over for their cup of Joe. It's a melting pot of people from corporate America,  too well dressed Administrative Assistants rushing to get to work on time, to a homeless man yelling " I want coffee with ice!" Hey, everyone needs coffee in the morning. No judgements here! That's what is so great about New York, every season offers a different flavor. There's always something new trending. Well, it's time for a refill... Ciao!
