Etsy pick: Clare Illustrates retro New York and London

We've seen the awesome artistic results triggered by Paris Vs New York, but who would you plump for in London Vs New York? It's a tough call to make between the hustle of the big smoke and the bustle of the big apple. Perhaps the Etsy shop of Clare Illustrates can help us decide.

Featuring the work of Bristol-based illustrator Clare Phillips, this gorgeous retro artwork is less about setting the cities off against each other and more about being madly in love with both of them - a sentiment that I definitely share. Want to see the contenders?

Why yes, I'd love to be in New York where even hailing a taxi cab can make you feel like you've stepped off a film set. Buy this espresso set and feel a million bucks for £20.

Or I could save those pennies and spend them on the very prettiest kind of rainy day in Springtime London.

No. I'm firmly sticking with London. I'll swear my allegiance with these fridge magnets available for £5.

Wait! I love peanuts! I definitely wish I was in New York. I'll say howdy with these appetising versions of the magnets.

Luckily I don't have to pick a favourite with these London and New York mugs: perfect in their subject matter, as well as in their typography and with their cute image of the bus stop and taxi inside each mug. For only £14 for the set I can easily ♥ NY and London.
