*waves*

I hear ya on the weather being crappy... It's been raining here today too... the only difference is that our seasons are opposite!

I have started to disassemble my makeup storage solution in my bedroom

I am a bit sad. Half of my makeup is in boxes now.

But it will look great soon!

pretty much the same as me and my hubby! the only exception are my work shirts which nick irons each morning for me while i do my make up! i'm terrible at ironing and i hate it!

Susanne just think about how fabulous your make up is going to look when you have your new set up! so don't be sad it's all packed away right now!

^^

Susanne. The packing is temporary and is crucial for a whole new look!

Hope you feel better, MrsMay!

ok i'm getting very excited. mainly because on Friday me and Nick decided that we are 100% going to Manhattan NYC for my brithday next year!

so in october 2011 i will be in NYC! woo hoo! today we have been looking at various hotels and such trying to work out what is a good place to stay. lots of hotels are quite expencive but look lovely! but nick says that we don't need to spend loads on a hotel because we'll be out all day.

And i have already looked to see where a cco is and how to get there from Manhattan! i'm a loser what can i say?!

I know Susanne went to NYC but has anybody else? and do you guys reccomend doing/seeing certain things?

Hi bimbos! Hope your weekend's been great so far.

It's been so sunny and warm here. Managed to get some tan (finally!) and enjoying the lazy weekend. Woke up at noon today and my Sunday started with pancakes made by M and watched a few series of Globe Trekker. Watching that made me feel like going on a vacation again this year but that's not going to happen anytime sooner!

Lou, from the sound of it in the CCO discussions, the Woodbury Commons one isn't a "good" CCO. (Yes, I too have looked into this, since New York is the place I'd be most likely to be able to get myself to an outlet.) But then again that's from the american perspective. Compared to European prices and no CCO's at all, I suppose it's all good.

 

[LittleMaryJane]

This is my first time in the bimbo thread

I slept in too late today and now I'm having a hard time getting started on the cleaning I should do. Today -should- be productive!

yeah see that is what i am thinking. i know i am spoilt when we go to Florida because there are 2 cco's there. and next month me and nick are taking a trip to York where there is a cco - second time i'd have been. but any cco is better than no cco! not sure if there are any more in NYC...

I keep seeing lots of shows on broadway that i'd love to see too!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I'm dying to go back to NYC! Especially now that I'm a makeup whore

--didn't hit up any awesome makeup places when I was there (been there twice too!)

Have you been there before, LMD? I found I had a lot more fun visiting restaurants and little obscure shops than I did doing all the big touristy stuff.

 

[Susanne]

Lou, NYC is awesome!

I am not sure yet but I still would love to travel to NYC in October again when there will be my 30th birthday.

no i have never been before so i'm pretty excited about everything... although nick keeps reminding me it's 1.5 years away!

so i'd like to do the touristy things as well as the random things. we are thinking of going for 6 nights... at first we thought about 4 but with the amount we'd like to do we think 6 could be better.

where did you stay Susanne? and how did you find public transport? i guess the subway trains are like the london underground but want to know if they are easy to use!

that would be fab if you could go back this october! but if you can't perhaps you could come october 2011 like me! and we could celebrate both our birthdays!

 

[Susanne]

Yes, I travelled by subway most of the time and it is like using the underground in London. The system is not difficult to understand. But also be prepared to walk a lot!

I stayed in a hotel between Madison and Fifth Avenue - I will search for it again! I booked the flight and the hotel together in my travel agency here.

yes i have heard to bring very comfortable shoes! although me and nick joke that it wouldn't be a holiday unless we were walking for miles each day! most people go on holiday to relax and not do much - but i love dashing around cramming in as much a possible! luckily nick does too! although he wishes i would plan more relax time in the mornings - he's no good first thing!

this is good about the subway being easy to use.

Welcome

I haven't been to the US, so can't help you there Lou!! The only place overseas I've been in the last 10 years is Singapore/Thailand/Malaysia for my honeymoon and I dare say I won't be going overseas in the next 10 years either now we have a little one.

Well it's 6:20am on Monday morning here... Been up since 5:10am which isn't too bad, will be back in bed soon

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I love the subway! Haha, it was my favorite part of nyc I think

I'm such a dork. I stayed with a friend of mine and so it wasn't an issue to get around--I'm not sure how I would have done on my own!

Oh and on the shoe note--I wouldn't recommend wearing flip flops. i lived in my flip flops when I was there and they were -so so so so- dirty by the time I came home. Nice, thick layer of grossness.

Haha, eww.

 

[InspiredBlue]

Dirt aside, flip-flops give absolutely no support, so I really wouldn't recommend them for walking around for longer stretches.

I usually wear flip flops in the summer regardless of how far I'm walking just because my feet get so hot--I just hope that I never have to run

I've had a number of foot injuries running to catch the bus
