Jessica Simpson nyc smile blonde

Last night we caught Jessica Simpson out and about in NYC, and it looks like she's genuinely enjoying her time on the East Coast. Taking a break from LA to watch her sister on Broadway must be nice, but hopefully she doesn't get too comfy in the Big Apple...we're starting to miss her here in California!

Anyway, I don't know about you guys, but this girl totally deserves some sort of award for handling herself so well this year. Not only does she look fantastic, but it seems like she's ready to leave 2009 behind and move on to bigger and better things in 2010...gotta love that!

And she's still gorgeous even after an outfit change:
