We know we aren't the only ones torn up over the cancelation of The Carrie Diaries. Each week the CW's prequel offered a fresh batch of avant-garde ensembles to pore over — filling the sartorial void left by Sex and the City.

Season one's styles were filled with the perfect mix of vibrant colors, bold retro prints, and over-the-top accessories, and as expected, stylist Eric Daman treated us to an array of grand creations worthy of the original Carrie Bradshaw in Season Two.

Before we bid adieu to one of our favorite fashion-centric shows, take a trip down memory lane with the best looks from season two.
