summer in the city

I'm flying out to New York tomorrow to spend a few days planning my big move. My last day working retail was bittersweet. As great as it is to be surrounded by clothes all day, I look forward to earning a paycheck that isn't spent entirely on dresses, jackets, and sweaters that I don't need. In the future, hopefully I'll only spend half of my salary on my closet.

I'll only be in the city a little over 48 hours, but I hope to fit in as much as possible... even though I plan on being back on the East Coast for good within the month.

If you had two days in the city, what would you do? I want to eat cupcakes, shop for shoes, buy a book at the Strand, wander around the West Village, visit Marc Jacobs (the store, not the designer), sit in Central Park, find an apartment, land a job, wear my new navy blazer that makes me feel like a grown-up, and find the Gossip Girl filming (which resumes this week... fate, is that you?).
