Throwback Thursday || Autumn in New York
11/10/2012 § 1 Comment
Holy smokes! Where’ve ya been, kid?
Guilty as charged! I’ve definitely been quiet this week, and I’ve got to chalk it up to autumn in New York, which is quietly unfurling its beautiful self with cool evenings, hot toddys, falling leaves and flannel bathrobes. I’ve slipped down a few rabbit holes these last few days, of the cultural, literary, culinary, musical, and cinematic kind, which I am looking forward to sharing with you very soon. But today, I am forced to beg your forgiveness for being a wayward parent as of late. I’m hoping a gorgeous rendition of Autumn in New York by Sarah Vaughn might help me win you back…
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They’re making me feel
I’m home
It’s autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands
It’s autumn in New York
It’s good to live it again
Quite Continental 
I thought of you yesterday when I was people watching in a cafe – I spotted a lovely lady wearing a houndstooth shirt, skinny jeans, a mustard coloured cardie with a gorgeous tweed coat over the top and a burgundy scarf that she had tied into a windsor knot so it looked like a chunky tie and tucked into her shirt, with red lipstick. I thought if I ever met you for coffee (and cheesecake) it was the type of thing you would wear.
