Life's a Beach: Hat Attack

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Oh yo - I am wearing a hat as I write this. I kid you not. Meant to be . . . and yes, I am a purveyor of hats so I'm always ready for a hat attack. Speaking of, the most memorable hat as of late is Samantha Jones's in the Sex and the City movie. It was so grand, so elegant, so funny. Most hats don't cast such a dramatic spell as her oversized one, but a functional, and fashionable, hat most certainly can stand out on the Summer-filled sidewalk.

Thanks to the Sex and the City movie, studded belts are popping up left and right. For a friend's baby shower, sydnei took an old dress, old belt, put it together, and instantly channeled Carrie Bradshaw. Sexy in the city!

Unfortunately she didn't give any info on her outfit, so come back and tell us.

Congrats to sydnei!

The Look For Less: Carrie Bradshaw

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

This (mainly) vintage Carrie ensemble was one of my favorites in the Sex and the City movie. It's also one of the hardest to copy. I did my best, but had to change the color story. Instead of mixing green florals, which costume designer Patricia Field did with the vintage dress and coat, I found some lovely yellow floral pieces. Still cute, yes? The famous Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower bag is already spawning copies and there are many other gold dangly gold bracelets out there that aren't Verdura (and are much cheaper!).

Smocked Summer Floral Dress - $39.50	ASOS Pyramid Stud Waist Belt - $32.45
Karen Kane Floral Print Jacket - $109.99	Beaded Eifel Tower Handbags in Black/Gold - $75.00

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

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:00:22 -0700

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!

The Look For Less: Miranda Hobbes

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Miranda may have one of the most far fetched wardrobes in the Sex and the City movie, mainly because she's a working mother who wears super chunky earrings, but it's fantasy land right? And it's fashion fodder for us. This is more of a Fall look that seriously complements Miranda auburn coloring but without the hefty Charlotte Ronson sweater jacket is Summer ready. In the movie her brown dress is Natalie Eshkenasy, her gold t-straps are Oscar de la Renta and her Faboo patchwork bag is Stuart Weitzman. See, aren't you glad I found a much cheaper way to act the part of Miranda Hobbes?

Found! Carrie Bradshaw's Blue Satin Manolo Blahnik Pumps

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:00:22 -0700

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!

The Look For Less: Carrie Bradshaw

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Here is a thoroughly modern Carrie look that didn't make it into the movie. Oh sh*t. Did I just spoil something? Nah. This outfit may look familiar though as it did appear in promotional items. Too bad it wasn't on the big screen because it's a keeper. It's also an expensive ensemble; the dress is Vivienne Westwood (that tailoring=to die for), the shoes are Manolo Blahnik, the feather clutch is Salvatore Ferragamo and the studded belt is vintage. This is the perfect look for a Sunday stroll. Here are some pieces to help you replicate it - I couldn't help but get Carried away . . .

The Look For Less: Miranda Hobbes

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:30:42 -0700

If you've seen the Sex and the City movie, you know that Cynthia Nixon's character, Miranda Hobbes, was leaps and bounds more stylish in the flick than she was in the show. Perhaps age made her fashion-wise or maybe Carrie's flair for style rubbed off on her. Either way, she left behind the pinstripe suits and busted out the chunky earrings, colorful frocks, and stilettos.

Fans will be thrilled to know that back by popular demand is the inexpensive Maggy London dress Miranda wore in one of the first scenes of the movie; she wore it with an Alexander McQueen bag, Gucci pumps and a vintage belt. Many of you expressed interest in the silky, mod dress and now it's yours.

GUESS Women's Millicent Pump - $98.95	Diamond Filigree Hoop Earrings - $18.00
