I never thought of New York City as a romantic place.
Don't get me wrong- I love it there and I know it's where a lot of romantic comedies happen.
But to me urban doesn't seem to equate to romance.
But then I saw these photos by Irene Suchoki and I was smitten with the idea of jetting to there for a romantic getaway with Mr. Branflake.
So, thanks to Irene I am now looking at NYC in a totally different light.
A light that's a little diffused and much softer than I remembered.
And maybe has a bit of a vintage 1940's flair to it.
And when I get there I'm thinking I'll be wearing this.

Is NYC romantic to you?
What are your favorite New York City romantic comedies?
(Mr. Branflake loves to quote You've Got Mail... "Don't cry, Shop girl, don't cry..." whenever I frown).

i loveee her photography! just gorgeous. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
Oh no not for me in real life but in the movies yes it absolutely is! I now know I love it in films but it's just not my cup of tea.
I love that outfit you put together, very Gatsbyesque.
I too don't think urban equates romance but these photos are so dreamy!
Irene is so incredible and she takes the most amazing photographs. I'm totally daydeaming about NYC right now:) Muah
I love these photos. I've always thought NYC to be romantic. There's something about swimming in a sea of people, with the one you love, and feeling like you're the only two people on the planet. :]
Strange, I'm thinking of New York as an incredibly romantic city... probably because of years of watching SATC and Gossip Girl. It's been ages since I was in NY myself.
I bet you and Mr B could have a lovely weekend there!
Wow, these photos are gorgeous! Somehow the style of those photographs (& your outfit) make it look more like Paris than NYC. And I guess I've always thought of Paris as a more romantic city than NYC...though, like you, I think I'm starting to see the romance of the Big Apple! :)
I love NYC and always thought of it as a romantic place during the spring and winter season. Your possible NYC outfit is so adorable I could burst! I just love love love it!
you are so right, these are such gorgeous, soft photos!!
love the outfit you've picked (as usual :))... Coco Mademoiselle is one of my fave scents! xoxo
Beautiful! & I like that dress.
Having lived there for many years, I have to say NYC is the most romantic city! Got engaged here and then took a wonderful stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. :-)

Sigh. I want to go!
I love all this mellow-ness. I needed it today.
So romantic and I love the images!
What a swoon worthy post! NYC has a certain kind of romance all its own, but while I adore the city, John despises it! Oh well–San Francisco is a good substitute for now!
Yay! NYC! I'll be there in exactly two months!
I adore You've Got Mail. Think it might be time to watch it again...
I don't normally think of NYC as romantic, but these pictures are beautiful!
It is now! I'm smitten with these photos.
To me a beach is romantic- NYC is cold and polluted- I spent some time there when I was in my teens and 20's and we ALMOST moved there when Dr.J took his first job but the city beat us out.
indeed it is! my hubby proposed to me at the rockefeller center :) these pics are so inspirational to me.
love the outfit, its so cute! :)
love your image., you're a photography professional., ^_^

I don't know if it's romantic to me, but I think it could be. It's got a certain magic to it...and Felicity and Ben make it look super romantic.
So YES. Yes I do think NYC is romantic.
*rambles on*

It absolutely is! There are so many romantic things about NYC. I couldn't even begin to name them. These photos do give you a glimpse of it though :) xoxo
Gorgeous pictures and outfits! I love Coco Mademoiselle -- it's my favorite perfume. And I think 42nd Street Station can be romantic -- when people stop and look up at all the amazing murals! xo style, she wrote
Those photos are gorgeous!!! I've never thought of NYC as romantic either. When I went there years ago, it was just all hustle and bustle, but I can see how you could find little spots in the city that are romantic. :)
I Love NY, and I find it incredibly romantic ;)
It is romantic :) It has so many layers and flavors... NYC is really like a book - you turn one page, and then another, and another... And just as you think that you are at the end of the chapter, there is something there that leads you to the new one, and you are all absorbed again...
I think NYC is an awesome giveaway place. Just make sure not to stop by entrances to Central park in the rain... Dog pee aroma is overbearing... But East Side anywhere is just a dream. NOthing like Fifths and Park ave in spring! Those blossoms...
Not only a romantic city, it's sexy!
That bag is a darling, Tiffany!!
Oh, yes! Looooove NYC and your beautiful tribute; it is quite romantic. My fave NYC romantic movie is Breakfast at Tiffany's. You've Got Mail is wonderful, too.
also...adore the outfit, though I'd have to go with the original Coco. I'm old school like that. ;)
Amazingly beautiful pics of NYC. It did not look like that when I was there visiting. Love the dress you picked out to wear there!
Those shots are absolutely gorgeous! I think NYC can be many things to many people at different times. It really can be beautifully romantic if you're in the right spot at the right time. However, on the whole, romantic is not what springs to mind when you think NYC... vibrant, energetic and fast paced is what I think!
Hope you've had a lovely start to the week!
good lighting, pretty colors, creative cropping, diffusing filters, and omitting people can make a city look pretty. lol. i don't think nyc is really all that pretty, although it can be gorgeous at night. sorry if i sound like a jerk!
but the ensemble you have chosen IS pretty! very pretty. i love it.
Thanks for sharing these photos! It's amazing how perspective can give an old city a new, romantic vibe.
He's Just Not That Into You is my favorite NYC rom-com. Alex and Gigi are a a wonderful exception to the "rules of dating."
I'm dying to take the hubs there and I love that coat!
NY during wintertime can't be beat...such an air of magic about snow in Central Park...love this look! Perfectly complements the romantic atmosphere!

Peace. Love. LOL!

Love these photos! Hope you are doing fine over there:)
Hugs from Oslo.
Love this post! I was just in NYC and used to live there and my visit made me realize just how much I love that city and its magic and romance that I am thinking of moving back...love your ode to the Big Apple!
