Dress Me Up: One Dress, Two Sex and the City Ways

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York clearly had two very distinct and dissimilar styles. Is it possible that one dress can match them both? Affirmative! I came across a Banana Republic Floral-Print Lady Dress ($150), which at first screamed Charlotte to me, but after some thought, it also screamed Carrie. I closed my eyes and envisioned Carrie borrowing Charlotte's dress because she had spilled wine on her outfit. How would she make it her own? She would jazz up the accessories, using a studded belt, colorful heels, and sequins. Whether you're a Carrie or Charlotte wannabe, make this seemingly ladylike dress your own.

Found! Carrie Bradshaw's Studded Belt on Pre-Sale

I can't believe my eyes I'm seeing that Carrie's Studded Belt ($120) is currently on pre-sale at Patricia Field Online. Throughout the entire Sex and the City film, my eyes followed that studded belt more than the actual storyline. While Miranda's wardrobe was a bit over-dramatized, I loved how realistic they made Carrie's. She wore the vintage studded belt in multiple scenes; this was because SJP loved it so much and it actually took on a name: Roger. You have to wait until mid-July if you want it for $120. If you're willing to dish out $250, get one now!

Found! Carrie Bradshaw's Blue Satin Manolo Blahnik Pumps

Carrie's closet that Mr. Big built for her in the Sex and the City movie was unbelievable. But what I was mesmerized over were her brand new Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pumps ($895) that she placed on her shoe rack the first time she saw it. They dazzled sitting there all alone, waiting for their Jimmy Choo and Dior sole-mates to join them. In the movie, they cost $525, but in real life, they're more pricey. Not shocking. The reason Big is holding them here is because . . . well, you figure it out!

Sex and the City Style, Season 6

FabSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Sex and the City came to a close after six unforgettable seasons. We were taken on quite an emotional roller coaster in this final season. For Carrie, Berger was out, Big was calling again, and her new Lovah, Aleksandr Petrovsky was showering her with mature affection. Charlotte was living happily ever after with Harry, Miranda tied the knot, and how can we forget that Samantha was diagnosed with cancer and Smith was steadfastly by her side. Carrie's spontaneous move to Paris with Aleksandr was most shocking to me. Of course, picturesque Paris is every girl's dream, but Carrie was such a deep-rooted New Yorker. But in the end, Mr. Big, and NYC, called Carrie back home. Home sweet home, indeed! Check out my other Sex and the City style slideshows!

Sex and the City Style, Season 6

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 08:00:22 -0700

The final season of Sex and the City had many ups and downs, as to be expected. While I never wanted the show to end, I thought it was a fine finale. But we're not there yet. The first half of the season was classic: Carrie's career was on the up and up with her book success and her love life was in the pooper thanks to Berger - a major disappointment. But she picked herself right back up. The other gals also found love and even more fabulous wardrobes. But seriously, this is the season when someone caught on that we, the viewers, loved seeing the woman in amazing clothes. And so, they delivered a feast for our eyes. But the final feast was Carrie in Paris . . . Check out my other Sex and the City style slideshows!

Sex and the City Style, Season 5

FabSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I have to admit season five is probably my least favorite of Sex and the City. I don't know if it's because it seemed rushed - it was the season filmed during SJP's pregnancy - or because Carrie was so bitter this time around. I love the gal, but I hate it when she whines. However, her clothes were dramatically more sophisticated and fabulous. Miranda had her own wardrobe woes as "Miranda Baby Weight," Samantha was her same glamour puss self (sans cantaloupes), and Charlotte became Jewish!

Sex and the City Style, Season 4

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Season four ended in the air - with Carrie being more single than ever after another failed run with Aidan and Big moving to Napa. We saw some of the looks from season four, and there's more where that came from! One of my most favorite looks all-time is here in the finale, when Carrie was trying to have a final night in NYC with Big only to end up in the hospital with Miranda, who gave birth to her little Brady. Remember the water breaking on her frilly pink Louboutins? A real tear jerker. Check out my other Sex and the City style slideshows!

Sex and the City Style, Season 4

FabSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Season four of Sex and the City started to get serious. Seriously fabulous! But really, the women starting to evolve and develop senses of self, and style. From the beginning of the season with such amusing episodes like "The Real Me" where Carrie is "fashion road kill" to the end with such a serious episode as "I Heart NY" where one of their own, Miranda, has a baby, we learned that SATC was growing up. It may be heavy stuff, but the vivid fashions kept it light. Check out my other Sex and the City style slideshows!

A Sex and the City Tribute: Manolo Blahnik

FabSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Will Carrie end up being the old woman who lived in her shoes? It's just a matter of time before the movie reveals the truth! Such was Carrie's fear at one point in the series, when she found herself down and out in NYC. She was getting evicted and upon seeking financial salvation she realized how much money she had actually spent on her Manolos over the years - lots.

That wasn't the only Manolo reference on the show. You may recall the other status accessory Carrie favored, the Fendi baguette, was stolen along with a pair of Manolos she had scored at a sample sale. As well, the plaid pair she bought to up her height to compete with her nemesis Natasha. Oh! And when she had to take her shoes off for her friend's party and they got stolen, so she "registered" at the Manolo store to get her pair back. Shall I go on? The giddy scene in the Vogue fashion closet when she raced for a pair of "Oh my god, Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes, an urban shoe myth." Who can resist the beautifully crafted, lightweight, slender shoe? Not Carrie.

To see some of my favorite Manolos out there right now, read more.
