The View from 57th and 9th

I'm staying at a crappy hotel. I didn't even want to take a shower this morning b/c I was convinced that I'd be cleaner, dirty! LOL! I'm staying on the 16th floor, and I've got a hell of a good view. It was GORGeous last night! I've got video footage of that!

Roma Tomato Basil Soup

It's cold an rainy out. This soup would cheer me up. It's a specialty at Nordstrom Cafe! Te gusta?

...Inspiration

The image above is that of my wall. My entire room reflects the things that inspire me. I believe that if I see it, feel it, breathe it and believe in it, it has to happen. I lived in NYC for a mere 3 months. Every second, every crowded subway, every illegal honk from cabbies, every smirk or glare from passers by...all amazing. I search Craig's List daily, just searching for my first apartment in the Big Apple. I thanked God for every morning that I awoke to the hustle and bustle of my residence on the Upper West Side.

So, this blog is my inspiration hub. It's the things that make me happy, the things that I want to share. I wanted to start a blog about scarves, candles and Starbucks. And my love for city life. And for amazing music, not the crap that's on the radio. And all other great treasures of the world! So, here's a deeper look into the life of Erin, the lady you know as Scandalous Beauty...

Introduction...

Darlings,

Here's my first post on my newest adventure, "An Urban Scandal". Let's consider this the beta version. I'll be mobile blogging while in NYC for the next few days, and I'd love to take you along for the ride!

Feel free to let me know what you think about the blog! I am still trying to decide if I want to keep this blog or incorporate it into Scandalous Beauty. I'd love to know your thoughts. I'll give it a few weeks before making any rash decisions, though! I must say, I'd love to keep it separate. Here we go.....
