Sex and the City is Finally Here......

Many fashionistas hit theatres last night at midnight to get their first glimpse at the most anticipated movie of the year. Fellow bloggers and fashionistas have declared the film 2 hours and 20 minutes of pure fashion genius. Due to scheduling conflicts and mommy duties I'll be missing opening day (can you believe it), but I already have my tickets for Saturday evening. I'll be taking my lil' sister Linda. She's not a big SATC fan but she's 16 years old, loves fashion and hardly ever passes up on anything free.........


Just thought I'd post some chic tips to get your Sexy weekend started........

• Check out the official Sex and the City Myspace page. Not only do they have some fab photos but you can get literally Carried Away with the wallpapers, screen savers, soundtrack snippets, message boards and more.......


• Do plan a Sex and the City weekend with your girlfriends. Catch the movie with your favorite fashionistas. Channel your inner Charlotte with a fabulous dress and cutesy flats or up the ante and wear your sexy stilettos and your favorite black dress and let the Samantha in you shine........


• Have a Girl's Night Out....... Get your favorite seasons on DVD and plan a night of Cosmos and Girl Talk.
  
• Lastly.....Shopping!

Many call New York the 5th character in the movie, but I think it's the clothes. The fiery ensembles bring fashion imagery to life. Here's a few tips to assist you in transforming your wardrobe into the ultimate Sex and the City Closet.


Mix High and Low
Master the art of mixing flea market finds with designer pieces. Pair that $5 Forever 21 Tank with your favorite designer jeans and stilettos. Add a vintage purse from the Brooklyn Flea and feel like a million bucks.......

It's all in the Shoes
Toss the Birkenstocks and opt for sky-high stilettos, mules and pumps. Forgo stockings and let those bronzed beauties shine. Remember the tools of shopping High and Low. While Manolo's and Jimmy Choos may suit our fantasies, Zappos, Endless and Nordstrom may be our shoe realities.

Dress The Lastest Trends & Toss The Old Ones

Rehaul your closet and retain the timeless pieces. Don't be afraid to toss last season's bohemian skirts. After all Carrie would never be caught rockin' last years trends. Subscribe to your favorite fashion magazines and tune in to Tres Chic Style religiously.

Shopping Guide

Richard Tyler, Jimmy Choo, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and Chanel are just some of the SATC favorite designer labels. You too can shop like Carrie or Charlotte and still have change for a cosmo.
