Sarah Jessica Parker looking adorable

A photo of the amazing Sarah Jessica Parker from a conference in Taiwan on the 22nd looking AMAZING. I absolutely love her hair at the moment. So much better than the Sex and the City season 2-3 poker straight look. 

The Unbearable Lightness of Spring

Carrie's Wedding Dress: consideration of a dead bird

So I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with this conundrum. The producers of Sex and the City saw Sarah Jessica Parker looking like this....

and the producers thought welllll that looked nice but this is the biggest moment in the Sex and the City franchise SO maybe we should scrape her hair back so the viewers can reeeeeeally see how old her face is, you know really make those wrinkles predominant. Let's bunch the veil up on top of that pineapple of hair on her head and then let's stick a dead bird on the side on a SUPER awkward angle just so everyone really takes note that it is indeed a dead bird. Is there anything else we can do OH! I got it lets make the bird blue just so it really sticks out, we don't want to risk the chance that that sucker will blend in at all. And why don't we let that bird be the only accessory, with the exception of the earrings, just so we make it even more prominent that it is indeed a dead bird... a dead BLUE bird... on her head and just so people make the observation that it's not like the bird was one of many accessories. It wasn't just a crazy Carrie moment where she was rummaging around for everything and anything she literally just went for the bird. 

Personally I think it looks horrible and I take great offense to the fact that whoever was responsible for that call not only ruined what would have made a beautiful fashion moment in the history of SATC but they also ruined a beautiful dress. If I was Vivienne Westwood I would be absolutely fuming somewhere as through poor accessorizing they turned something which could have been stunning into something that was so ghoulishly off the mark it was just sickening. 

.... I know my disdain is palpable. 

Why have I never seen this picture before?!

ps. how sexy was Chris Noth back in his hay day... yummmmm xx

Interior Design- Carrie & Big's Apartment from Sex and the City, the movie

So after my last post I decided that I would post some photos from Carrie and Big's apartment in Sex and the City the movie. 

For those of you who are looking for an amazing non rent controlled apartment in New York with an amazing closet. Here is another fabulous option for you all, albeit a slightly pricier option.

Note the FABULOUS closet complete with a lighted shoe cupboard.

Interior Design- Carrie Bradshaw's apartment pre and post renovation

This post is about Carie Bradshaw's apartment. A place that every Sex and the City ❤ will recognize from both the television show and the movie. It was a place we all came to recognize and ❤ as the setting of many of not only Carrie's but Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda's trials and tribulations.

HOWEVER this post is not only intended for ❤ers of Sex and the City but for all girls with a love of beautiful spaces. Through the television series, and the movie, viewers of Sex and the City are presented with many beautiful things which are beyond the price range of the vast majority of us. However in Carrie's apartment SJP presented us with an affordable oasis. An apartment most of us would love to live in, in a city that everyone would love to live it. It was rent controlled, economically furnished and totally livable. 

Pre Renovation

Welcome to the world of Carrie pre the Sex and the City movie renovation. This is the apartment that viewers of the television show will remember and ❤ in its most accessible and financially viable form.

Post Renovation

Still gorgeous post renovation it's just been upgraded furniture wise but it remains as an excellent example of how you can turn a 'average' apartment into a fabulous living space.

Sex and the City: A tribute to Carrie and Mr. Big- and a prayer to all those girls with difficult relationships, sometimes the fairy tale does come true

Sex and the City: Some of Carrie's favorite fashion moments

So I decided that today I would re hash some of Sarah Jessica Parker's greatest hits from her time as Carrie.  I started off with some styles from the movies HOWEVER I really wanted to find some of my favorite looks from the television seasons. 

What I found out was that the looks that I used to love..... I don't love so much anymore. The fashion in the first movie was characterized by florals contrasted with leather and stubs. The fashion of the second film was predominantly jewel tones and metallics interspersed with massive amounts of jewelry that were heavy in precious gems. However, when going through images from the television seasons I noted that the looks were characterized by feathers, tulle, plaid, exposed midriffs, big fake corsages..... they may have been hot in the 90s but with the exception of the final season they are are about two steps away from the brothel.
