Sex & the City Style

Who better to take style tips from than the fabulous Carrie Bradshaw from the Sex and the City movie? Although her Vivienne Westwood gown stirred up quite a controversy, I loved it because it was bold, beautiful, and in true fashionista style. How can you not look fabulous with a teal bird on your head?
However, her 'real' wedding dress that she had originally chosen & ended up marrying Big in at the end (sorry for the spoiler if you haven't seen it yet) was my absolute favorite. Unfortunately, I can't find a photo of it anywhere. But, it was a tailored vintage piece in cream with clean lines & polished sophistication. I love, love, love the idea of finding a beautiful vintage dress for a wedding, pairing it with fabulous jewelry, and splurging on a pair of stunning designer heels to complete the look. Classically chic!

The idea of different colored dresses for the bridal party was genius & one I'm sure we will see more of now that the movie has set the trend. The various jewel tones looked beautiful together & I loved the incorporation of black into the mix. The gorgeous dresses that Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha wore give hope to discouraged bridesmaids everywhere. Unlike the many bridesmaids dresses we've had hanging in our closets for years because we're determined to wear again after spending $200+ on a poorly made frock in a color we hate. If only our cousin, friends, and sister-in-law had been this fashionable....

Side note.....From my St. John post below, I received a nice comment from a reader who happens to also work at St. John. Talk about a fabulous job! Anyway, I wanted to say thanks to Kristina & I hope you received my e-mail.
