The good thing about returning to a city for the second time, is that you’ve most likely visited all the really touristy things first time round, so you have a lot more room in your schedule – yes I am that anal person that tries to schedule a trip to get maximum New York fan girl time – to just wander the avenues, get lost amongst the quieter streets and generally just take in the real city vibe. Rather than just that of the overly populated areas full of fellow tourists and more selfie sticks than Kim Kardashian’s had relationships.
So on our second from last day, after visiting the Rockefeller which we hadn’t managed to squeeze in before – more on that stupidly, ridiculously beautiful experience later – we had a bit of spare time to wander the upper east side. And pull over into the middle of the road to take some outfit snaps #DedicationToTheCause
And whilst I didn’t find Serena or Blair, Chuck or Nate (it would have been really nice to find Nate)… I did find a new possible favourite area of New York. xoxo Upper east side (I’d like to take this moment to say that if you aren’t familiar with Gossip Girl, I promise I haven’t regressed to my 14 year old self using phrases like “xoxo”).

Rewinding to post “Sorry Dan, but you’re going to have to wack the camera out because I need some upper east side/yellow taxi background shots please” moments, when we headed to the Rockefeller centre. I had high hopes for this as first time round everybody had advised me to head here instead of the Empire State, but I think there’s just something about going to NYC for the first time that attracts you to the Empire state first. All I can say is, the reality of the Rockefeller was everything I’d heard it would be and more…
I spent a long time wandering around the Observation deck – making sure to head up to the top section like my good friendJess had told me I had to do – and in all honesty, it was only the promise of a Starbucks and gluten free pizza that managed to drag me down from there. The views, quite frankly, are absolutely breathtaking. I defy anybody not to go to the very top and not be blown away by what you see.
I definitely had a little moment to myself [read: slight tear] just thinking about how lucky I was to be there, and how devastated I’d be to return home. NYC really will always have my heart.
So that brings my fourth instalment to the NYC diaries to an end. I do have a Travel Guide/”I love NYC so much” ramble coming soon however I’ll be returning to London/Christmasy content for the next few posts as work calls. (Sometimes I forget that this is my actual job and some things have a deadline and I can’t go fangirling over NYC for the rest of my life).
Oh, before I forget, I also have a vlog of my whole trip so if you fancy checking that out, I’ll pop that here…
I really, really hope you’ve enjoyed these posts though, I would love to know which was your favourite from the NYC diaries? Also, if you have any recommendations, I may have already had a sneaky peak at flights for March 2016. Just saying… π
As always, thanks so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this post!
Oh Elle, you look beautiful. I have this shirt in the reverse colours too – great choice I think π Your photos are gorgeous too, utter perfection xx
I will never get over that view. I had no idea Central Park was so huge! Your vlog was a nice little (or long actually) break from working, it made me feel so excited even though I'm not going any time soon! Loving your NYC posts x
You look so pretty! I was a big fan of GG and this video was like short bits from GG, especially Grand Central Station bit:) I really want to visit NY and watch this spectacular view from the observation deck! x
This has to be my favourite from your NY diary Elle. I am a sucker of a good top view wherein I can see almost the whole place/city. Also, your photos are impeccable as always! Xx
Wow that view is just incredible, definitely putting this as one of the first places I visit in NYC (if I ever go). Love your outfit too, the shirt is so pretty and you look amazing as always. Fair play to Dan for getting such great shots too x
Love Rockerfeller Plaza..there is so much to see! I know exactly what you mean about the touristy places though. Living in NY most of us don't really enjoy going around those areas much either. There is so much more too see when you just get to explore on your own! Omnivogues
Really enjoying your posts about NYC Ellie! It's my dream to go there. I have a really similar shirt to this but black with white hearts from Matalan π
Wow, the view from Observation Desk is breathtaking, I think that it must-have when you're in NYC π What about your outfit I really like it and I see that you have similar taste, because today I was wearing very similar outfit to yours (including trousers in this beautiful, wine color and white shirt :D) π

During our discussion I would always say I did .. This February he called it off and since then I have been a mess.. I gave it a lot of thought and realised my mistakes and why I was doing it.. I tried talking to him .. begged him.. pleaded him .. but he says that he has lost all his feelings for me and would never get back to me..I was in my knees praying looking for help, them i fine a comment online how a spell caster help to restored relationship get ex lover back, β so i decided to give a try coz i love my boyfriend so much. so i contacted Dr happy http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/ tell him all my problem and he gave me 100%guarantee that i will have my boyfriend back after the spell so i was gifted and lucky to have contacted him i did every thing he ask of me and to my greatest surprise a day after the spell my boyfriend call me and apology for what he did to me and ask for my forgiveness to come back again for me, we both are happily living together again plz Contact him urgently via……… happylovespell2@gmail.com or add him on whats-app +2348133873774 Junia Noel from USA
