You can always move back to West-coast if you do not love to be in NYC area. I know that moving costs but life costs in general. One cannot avoid it. It is good to travel and live in different places to get new experiences and memories. One feels to have lived to have "seen the world." It seems that you travel so often to see you family in the big apple area too so that moving there serves a purpose too. Thank you for the Charlotte Tilbury info! Interesting. I just saw a Goyard tote in pink. I loved it!!! Cannot wait to see your new bag! Hope you will love it!!
