THE CARRIE COMMANDMENTS: WHAT WE LEARNT FROM SATC QUOTES

 

Happy Monday folks! I hope your weekend was beautiful! Did you make the most of it or did you enjoy chilling out after a hectic week?

Sometimes I like to revisit a box-set of Sex & The City, I just love love loved the show, from the girls, the wardrobe to the script. I can't quite get over how the first ever episode aired 15 years ago in 1998! For realz! Man I miss this show, the glamour, the great lines from each of the gals... Wish there was something right now which showcases style as this show once did. Anyhoos, here's a little recap of a few things we've learnt from the show & Carrie Bradshaw.

Not everyone can wear white

Sometimes the dry-cleaning bills just aren't worth it:  "I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it."

Dress by your own rules

When it comes to fashion, you should always stick to your guns: "I have a style and jewelled panties aren't it."

Your wardrobe is your ultimate investment 
To always choose shoes over stocks and shares: "I like my money where I can see it - hanging in my closet."
…But never to forget about paying your rent: "I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old women who lived in her shoes!"

Contemplate: If you're having a contemplative moment there's no better way to start your train of thought than with: "I couldn't help but wonder…"

Always remember your girlfriends

There's always time for a cheesy but true line about your girlfriends: "'They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style."

Every girl has the right to fabulous shoes

Manolos are the holy grail of shoes: "Oh my God! Do you know what these are? Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes! I thought these were an urban shoe myth!" ... And you're totally worth it: "The fact is, sometimes it's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun."

With great expectations comes great love
There's nothing wrong with high expectations: "I am someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love."


Single is sexy
Love can wait: "Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with."

Countdown to Sex & The City 2 and Carrie's Outfits

OMGG, the wait is almost over. SATC 2 is coming to your screens in a mere week! Yippeeee!!!

You'll have to forgive my over-excitedness for a bit. I don't usually get overly giddy over new flicks, but this is 'Sex and the City', a show which had me hooked from the word, go. I know some men and some women don't particularly like this show (or SJP for that matter, why? Only kidding, I've had a long list of things thrown at me before)... but hey the fashion is inspirational, no? For one thing, I do hope that this sequel really is as good as the hype... it seemed a bit far fetched that they've gone to Morocco (what's wrong with NYC?) but i'm sure there's a worthy explanation in the script.... I cannot wait. Ooooh, let's not forget the insane amount of dollar worthy fashion involved too, $10 mill - that's gotta be something!

As I'm on the subject of SATC, I dug out this fabulous coffee table number (don't you just love the mock croc cover?) given to me by a dear friend (she later bought me the entire DVD box set for my big b'day -love her!). If you're also a fan of the movie, this book is brilliant and covers everything about the SATC show, interviews, behind the scenes shots, info on how it all started to real life stories which inspired the show and of course who is behind the crazy outfits worn in the show. So here's a little peek guys...

Wardrobe breakdown of each of the fabulous foursome

Below: The cute pink Loubs she wore in the finale of S4 - just as Miranda gave birth and her water broke over them...and the Anna Molinari dress - lush!

I love Carries high bun - she knows how to work it! OTT is so Carrie - especially the pearl overload power!

Carrie's outfits from the 1st movie below - which of these are your favourite looks?

When the first flick came out, I went with all my girls back at home to watch this... we laughed (when Charlotte 'Poo kippsied'...), almost cried (won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet) and had a great time.

Will anyone be going to the Fashion Party at the Mall (Village all day bar) on Wednesday evening for the launch as mentioned by Skinny & Flavoured here? Hopefully, the sequel is going to be awesome!

To get your copy of this 'Kiss & Tell' book try Amazon.
