Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made

<div style="text-align: center;">One day soon, I <i>will</i> make it to New York. I'm so jealous that my boyfriend is heading there TOMORROW for a father-son bonding trip with his dear ol' dad...(umm..where was my invite? I'm fine just wandering around all the shops while you two do your boy things, promise!). In all seriousness though I know it'll be a wonderful trip for them, and I've decided to dedicate today's post to a little NYC lovin' in decor.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfxgon-MUTm1UTg05680-Ta_mzOG-A9TM4kNeVdWxA8P2185gkx67WGH-Vl1eBkW5teoOjISi6ZpXqLfMr4Vn8YdZWXAE4QEUcGdrRKL3uQ3VvsidhGgrXgBZEgGUPl9V-hiH5Yk12zdxl/s1600/new+york+poster+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfxgon-MUTm1UTg05680-Ta_mzOG-A9TM4kNeVdWxA8P2185gkx67WGH-Vl1eBkW5teoOjISi6ZpXqLfMr4Vn8YdZWXAE4QEUcGdrRKL3uQ3VvsidhGgrXgBZEgGUPl9V-hiH5Yk12zdxl/s1600/new+york+poster+3.jpg" /></a> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKw4qfGmWHN6Cpdh_bPp-MIUCZdJwLgXd2ybjrWNp0WDuqRfIn4rcZB0spdysnWi9uW37IZn29Jk9mpMCm70ehHcsuCvehBO5s6svlhtJka4lPyOES5Pa-C_q2boPPbY-fMBfKw7mJDJ_P/s1600/new+york+poster+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKw4qfGmWHN6Cpdh_bPp-MIUCZdJwLgXd2ybjrWNp0WDuqRfIn4rcZB0spdysnWi9uW37IZn29Jk9mpMCm70ehHcsuCvehBO5s6svlhtJka4lPyOES5Pa-C_q2boPPbY-fMBfKw7mJDJ_P/s1600/new+york+poster+2.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpOJr08Cf0SuzrIzSoe8zFkZPhMHcqe8rCQNr5YMTJQ2lrCA9j8N-0u5DzQF3hyphenhyphenjlPOXH3maEPATk4Hedsl5S_veZNS5PTugPj_f3t_v2DIjP0Me0BV9jKpZGp8ZMy8n_aj1l5M-nN6Ac/s1600/new+york+poster+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpOJr08Cf0SuzrIzSoe8zFkZPhMHcqe8rCQNr5YMTJQ2lrCA9j8N-0u5DzQF3hyphenhyphenjlPOXH3maEPATk4Hedsl5S_veZNS5PTugPj_f3t_v2DIjP0Me0BV9jKpZGp8ZMy8n_aj1l5M-nN6Ac/s1600/new+york+poster+4.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://mokkasin.blogspot.ca/2012/01/blog-post.html">via</a><br />^ How about this lovely New York poster, here featured three different ways in the home of Sofia from <a href="http://mokkasin.blogspot.ca/2012/01/blog-post.html">Mokkasin</a>.
