Okay..relax lol
Each city has its goods and bads.. Ive lived in both... currently in NYC.
LA is more laid back...NYC isnt... when in Cali.. I always had open toe shoes...and I dressed real casual... here in nyc I can layer up b/c its cold and I can put on more pieces so I wouldnt say you can be more "trendy" in nyc.. but you have a lot more options. Nyc has a lot of flava..and a lot of diff people with diff taste... plus we are all congested in this city..unlike in LA where its all spread out.. well anyhow..let me not rant on lol Ill continue later
