I don't know about you guys, but I kinda miss Sex & The City and Carrie Bradshaw's sense of style, love affair with shoes, search for that "Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love" and brilliantly humourous one-liners. There isn't really any other basis of comparison out there, is there?I used to look forward to each upcoming episode to see what the fabulous foursome would be wearing, then falling in love with elements of their style. Fashion wise it fed me buckets. For now lovelies, let's celebrate the memories of the most stylish girls in TV history, with some fun cocktails inspired by each of the characters we've known to love. There's even one for the boys!
