MN Vogue - volume 40

[shopafrolic]

40 editions and still going strong! All welcome to talk fashion, beauty and other random things. All tastes and all budgets welcome. Continuing on from here

Blair somehow your age passed me by, you are young! lucky

So those who wear shirts often, what do you do. Do you iron the night before, all in one hit or the morning you wear it?

I want to do nothing tonight so might go for morning.

Oh and dh has as bleach cleaning obsession too Dry, always asking for new bleach.

Night before Marsha, then put school uniforms out and arrange shoes and school bags. Am not a morning person.

Bleach is not my friend. I'm always wearing designer jeans when bleaching for some reason.
Samantha dressed like a hooker Marsha?

All in one hit...I'd rather get it done and not iron again for a few days

So DH has won an incentive and we might be heading to New York on a 4 day break with DS in tow! So I'm going to need recommendations as to how the hell you NYC with a 3yo?!

I don't wear shirts often, find them too uncomfortable, but I iron at the last minute (the luxury of being childless I guess!)

shop I think Samantha dresses more minimally, perhaps that's what Marsha meant; not as froufrou as Carrie or matchy as Charlotte. I think Miranda 's clothes are more masculine that novice's though

Any chance you could leave him behind Shop? Aware I sound like a dreadful parent but faced with New York with my dc in tow or staying at home I may opt for home.

Sorry should add leave him behind with any grandparents/aunts/uncles. Am not advocating a home alone scenario. Oh and v envious I would love a few days there

Shit soz Shop no I just meant the body con stuff, without the ott stuff. Tall and good figure. SATC is quite hard as each character has a side. Carrie absorbed, Samantha ott etc

I very rarely wear shirts, only for meetings. And I enjoy ironing them even less.

We took ds1 to NYC when he was about three, made a big mistake of not taking a buggy and poor dh had to do shoulders around the frozen streets of NYC but the yellow cabs were good. We stayed at the Hudson Hotel it was fab.

True re Miranda and Novice Dry. Quite tricky!

Only joking. I think most people are a cross between two characters anyway. I reckon I'm a bit Samantha and a bit the workaholic one.....
Leaving DS isn't an option. I've asked DH to see if we can move the trip from NYC to Europe somewhere but it might be unlikely........ Never look a gift horse in the mouth and all that. Gutted as NYC to me is all cocktails, shows and shopping (none of which works to well with a toddler) but there must be another side to it?

Shop that's so exciting! Can't help at all as I've never been, but that's fab.

this was the look in my mind, minimal etc but yep I think it's likely some are a mix of two.

NYC would you do a babysitter? Maybe book a fantastic hotel with bar there so you are close (babysitter in room of course) whilst he's asleep?

I'll take that look Marsha
I think babysitter will be the only way. DH is insists that DS has to come. And to be fair, we have no one who could take him for 4 days. We might be able to delay till Autumn, Christmas lights and stuff. We'll see. Still waiting to get the prize details.

Ok trying to redeem myself now Shop this is for you, lots of similar sites too.

Thanks for letting me have my self indulgent moment. you're all v kind.
so SATC. ... clothes wise I would say I am more Charlotte. character wise, more Samantha

shop how exciting!!! The planetarium is fab. I used to love going there. Also there is a lot going on in Central Park.
Also the zoo in Queens is great. I should caveat by saying that I lived there pre dcs but these are the places that immediately came to mind.

Secret no need to redeem yourself - will take a look. My first thought was "can we go without him?" So I'm obvs a bad mummy!

Novice yes that's a better combo for you. I shouldn't guess, too rubbish

There are amazing places to go in the day stil with a dc but you will want that night time NYC hit as a couple, so exciting.

Hello, you'll be pleased to know I put in an appearance on the thread in chat. I messed up not nc'ing with that offer...forgot it wasn't one of you lot where it's kind of a normal thing to do maybe . Thank you for the set comments though

On a completely different note, I walked past the divine Jamie Dornan earlier this evening - think I scared him a bit as I probably did a fairly obvious swoon and was stumbling, red faced and incredibly sweaty, out of a hot yoga class . Perfect timing! For any of you unaware of him...[jamie dornan images take a look]] . Added to which he is Irish and funny, what more could you ask? I don't get like his about many celebs, but...

Anyhow, re bikinis, funnily enough the subject of my last blog post before my holiday in Italy.

Novice well done on your charity! you must be so proud and pleased .

So go on then, which SATC character am I?!

Sweet comments!

shop that would have been my first thought too so budge up on that bad mummy bench!

just remembered there is a zoo in central park too. Also I used to love the museums and I think there are at least 3 children's museums which are specifically for children. I think one of them is on staten island so the ferry would be good fun.

The other main park is prospect Park in Brooklyn. its gorgeous. because it's a neighbourhood park there are plenty of children's activities.

If you're going to risk FAO Schwarz that could be a lot of fun (that's where the scene in Big was filmed).

you can also go on the dodgems if you get train to Coney island.

And I've lost the ability to link properly dornan images Jamie D

Pah! - just Google!!!
