So Due to unfortunate circumstances (which will always be seens as fortunate in my eyes cause im stubborn) I'm not spending a summer in NYCwash

However I am spending a semester in Spain so its kind of a lose-win situation. One of the things I learned this past semester is never put all you're eggs in one basket. I am in DC/Maryland for the summer and the 20 year old in the city will pick up by me focusing on Washington D.C. It's easy for me to try and study fashion trends in a place I know best. One thing people don't know is the DMV is the home of true street style. I remember in high school when boys started to wear joggers it freaked me out cause I didn't understand why then all the sudden it was on the runway and miraculously I understood that this trend is cute and deem able to be registered as a must have fashion piece in men's, and alike many men's trends it became a well token fashion piece in women's. Just in case you don't know what i'm talking about....
JOKING...
Although Leo is very handsome and can wear anything I was thinking more on the lines of
*SWOONS*
There is just something about a man and a beard......
And there's something about a beautiful girl in joggers too

So to finish up my final 20 year old in the city post for NYC I'm going to post my last whimsical day that ended in the best surprise of the week, I have no idea what lead me to take the train to 14th street, but I woke up and needed to go. The universe was telling me to say goodbye for now and I happily unknowingly obliged.
I found myself walking to Starbucks which is not unusual for me. I adore Starbucks a little too much. I ordered a Smore's Frappiccino and turned around to find Finn Harris; twin brother to Jack Harris (You-tubers/Documentaryer's) in line for a drink. I followed their channel since I was 8 and I swear my heart never beat faster. I never thought in a million years I would come face to face with him. I got immediately embarrassing. I tried to summon my courage and I walked over to him and told him I loved his channel. He smiled at me and I melted right on the spot. I asked him if it wasn't to weird to take a selfie with me, meanwhile I also drooled about how much I've loved his channel and he laughed and said that's so funny cause my brother is on the phone as he turned to reveal a cellphone in his other hand and no doubt another audience member to witness my embarrassing display. As if nothing could be better he took the selfie and I took whatever muscle feeling I had and went to get my frappe. I know that i should of been cooler and somehow winged a hang out session to discuss details on shots, but I lost my cool. We all have our moments and this was one of mine. I've met a few celebrity's and interviewed a few (Ill make a post sometime), but never have any of them caught me off guard like he did. Ah well, there's always next time. To my dismay and inner excitement he goes to a school in NYC so maybe if we meet again he'll forget my selfie moment and I wont forget my cool. 

I finally moved my jello legs out of Starbucks, after I generated an audience of questions after he left of people asking me just who he was. I started to explore 14th street. There was a couple fighting on one avenue and a couple holding hands on the next. I wound up in the midst of a sale of jewelry all down the line and I bought myself a leaf ring and my mother a jeweled ring. I finally found the place that held my heart and breathed it all in. Washington Square Park is magical. This time unlike Winter it was ringing with people. Students took to sun bathing on the grass, and babies played in the fountain, while my favorite pianist played the empty noise to onlookers. I found myself in the patch of grass underneath the falling flowers of the tree by the slight wind and got taken away by his keys on ivory. Truly heaven.

Till Next Time.
