Now, I’m pretty excited to see the new Sex and the City movie, but would I choose to watch it during surgery (along with local anaethestic) instead of being put completely under? Watching a movie of their choice is an option some patients have at a hospital in Glasgow.

It’s been nearly a year and half since my last visit to New York — in other words much, much, much too long. I can’t even begin to think of all the shopping I’m missing out on at Top Shop and Century 21.
I’m hoping to head back there with a girlfriend sometime this year, but in the meanwhile, I’m try to satisfy my cravings for the Big Apple by wearing Sarah Jessica Parker’s new fragrance SJP NYC. (yep, that is how much I’m missing New York, that I’ll settle for just wearing a fragrance bearing its’ name)
Its a fruity floral blend with top notes of Italian mandarin, white osmanthus and wild red strawberries — first impression when I spritzed it on was that it smelled of strawberry bubble gum. Hmm, not so good unless you’re a little girl into Strawberry Shortcake.
But as you probably know, you should always leave a fragrance on for awhile to get a true sense of it on your skin (how it smells on you isn’t the same as how it smells on your bestie), and later on in the day I found that SJP NYC balanced out nicely (less intense strawberry, instead it develped into a pretty scent, uplifting and fruity but not too fruity), and it’s now one of my go-to daytime fragrances.
What I can’t decide about that is whether the bottle, with its hot pink canister and colourful prints — quite a departure from her previous perfume bottles — is fabulous or tacky. It certainly stands out amongst my fragrance bottles. Thoughts?
