Life lately

I've recently started wearing more eye-shadows, but pink lips are my signature (also  demonstrated in second picture), wine and Sex and the city marathon - perfect Sunday evening?!, coffee and new monthlies - great way to relax, possibly one of my favourite outfits ever, buying flowers for my friend - white roses are so chic!, make up I've been wearing recently, new found obsession - coconut frappe - yummy!

 

I've said it many times before (on various social media) but I'm addicted to Instagram. I feel I've been close to obsessed lately - it's the last thing I check before going to sleep and first thing after I wake up (sad I know..). So here's few things I've been snapping lately.

 

Have a stylish day.

1. Designer shoes are my weakness. These were my options for NYE. Valentino and Jimmy Choo are my faves, but really want to add Christian Louboutin to my collection this year (hopefully for my birthday in March)

2. Like Carrie Bradshaw, I like my money right where I can see it. In my wardrobe. Which has been newly tidied and reorganised. Looking forward to spring and shedding layers and wearing lots of colour.

3. There's never enough sparkle. Got these earrings in New look for £2 and love them! This girl likes a bargain :)

4. January and February are my least favourite months, so I will spend probably many evenings watching SATC with a glass of red. Just like Friends, you can never watch SATC too many times.

5. #tbt 21st February 2011 was a day that made history. Burberry decided to screen their catwalk show on the screen at Picadilly Circus and I was there to witness it. Now everyone is live streaming, but that was special! Wearing Jonathan Saunders dress.

Can you believe another London Fashion week is nearly here?!

 

Have a stylish day.

Have a stylish day.



Carrie Bradshaw

Carrie Bradshaw is definitely a style icon. We were glued to our TV screens for six season to watch Patricia Field's creations and the in two movies as well. Although Carrie's style became more commercial and more designer rather than the fabulous mix of unknown, vintage and labels she still dresses well. I still get inspired by some of her outfits and love watching Sex and the city again and again for the stories and the fashion. Remember when she first wore her Carrie necklace? Everyone wanted one and you could get copies everywhere. She made statements and people love it. If the rumours are true there will be a movie number three. I wonder what story they'd come up with next, but mostly what the sassy ladies will be wearing! Let's hope the rumour is true and wait for another feast for eyes. For now here's few outfits from the past.
Have a stylish day.

Style on TV

Today's style post is not dedicated to any individual but to TV programmes. How many of us watch a programme mostly to see the outfits the characters wear. For me the example would be MTV's The City and The Hills. That's where I discovered one of my style icons Olivia Palermo. Millions of women watched Sex and the City not only for the great conversations between the four awesome New Yorkers and to see their lives unfold, but their clothes played a big part too. It put the stylist Patricia Field on radar and Carrie Bradshaw's outfits were copied endlessly. Many got upset when the show finished and probably the same amount rushed to the cinema to see the Sex and The City Movie 1 and 2. Both out on DVD now have a special place in my DVD collection as well as the whole series of course.
But since then the clever people in Hollywood we love our fashionable series and keep feeding us with shows like Gossip Girl and the amazing BBC programme Mad Men. The great outfits help to make stars out of its characters off screen as well. Blake Lively is the new face of Chanel, January Jones became a face of Versace and the list would go on. They all cover endless amounts of fashion mags. Check out stunning Christina Hendricks on November's issue of American Harper's Bazaar here.
Let's admit it. We love it. If shows with sometimes not so great plot lines are our guilty pleasure just to watch the latest fashion, than it's not the end of the world. I'd rather watch Gossip girl than some blood and fights fuelled movie. And as for Mad Men, it's got great reviews and is very well written. So please TV gods keep the fashion feast coming, we'll never have enough.
Have a stylish day.

Cynthia Nixon aka Miranda Hobbes

So the other day I finally watched Sex and The City 2 (I was busy...). Despite the not so good reviews I loved it! And of course especially the clothes! Whilst watching it I realized, how other than Carrie's wardrobe are underrated. The dress that caught my eye instantly and made the biggest impression on me, was of Miranda Hobbes. It's a dress that she wears at the gay wedding and I can reveal it's by the talented Julien Macdonald. And the rest of her wardrobe was just as good. New style icon on the block...
Have a stylish day.

Sex and the City premiers in New York

The wait is nearly over! The Sex and the City movie sequel premiered in New York yesterday and the fabulous opening in London is on thursday. I can't wait to see the movie, the dresses the stars will wear for the Europe's premier and of course all the costumes in the film. Here are the outfits the main actresses wore in New York. They all look stunning, but I especially love the colourfull outfits of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis.
Have a stylish day.

style inspiration

The countdown to Sex and The City 2 is in full swing and I can honestly tell you, I can not wait to watch it. I am looking forward to checking out all the outfits our four favourite New York gals will wear. There has been some speculations about the story lines and a leaked pictures from the set and it all sounds and looks very exciting. Here I picked some of my favourite looks from the series and a movie number one. Carrie Bradshaw is a great style inspiration. Bring on May 28th! Also I can't wait to see what is Sarah Jessica Parker going to wear to the London premier. Can it come any faster..
Have a stylish day.

memorable fashion moments

I love Sex and the City. I admit to owning the DVD boxset and watching it so many times I can't even remember. I really admire Patricia Field's styling and what she achieved with her work. I am a big fan of Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe and like many other women can't wait for the movie sequel to come out. Now, with the official trailer hitting the screens, plus internet, you get a little preview of what's to come. And there has been a lot of talk about Sarah Jessica Parker collaborating with Halston Heritage, the revamped label thanks to Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo. Carrie wears a lot of Halston in the trailer and promo pictures and I'm expecting a copies of the dresses to hit the high street very soon. I predict a lot of unforgettable fashion moments actually and I am very excited. Bring on the May 28!
Have a stylish day.

Stylists become celebrities..

When you look back into the old days of Hollywood glamour and the fabulous actresses, with great style and grace, you may remember the beautiful clothes they wore and who they were designed by, but that's where it ends. Not that it's not enough, but that definitely changed. Since the beginning of the 21st century, people behind the scenes, especially stylists, have become more and more important and celebrities in their own right. There have been massive growth in programs about style and makeovers, and fashion gurus are making their own headlines.
Look at Rachel Zoe for example. For those who don't know her(shame one you!) she is very popular LA based stylist, working with celebrities on any occasions from photoshoots to Oscars. She has her own TV show The Rachel Zoe project and has been accused for having bad influence on her clients to become really skinny. I'm sure you all remember the big Size zero debate... But she's famous for her work and showing the importance of a stylist.
And who could forget Patricia Field. Ever since working wonders on the wardrobe of The Sex and The City girls, she became famous and got well deserved respect. She is a master of mixing vintage, designer and high street and is inspring to all of us. There has been so many great outfits in the series, then when The Sex and The City - The Movie was about to come out in 2008, it caused a fashion frenzy. Everyone wanted to know what clothes would the characters wear and you could expect some new trends emerging straight after. I really admire Patricia's work and included some pictures. There are so many though, it was very hard to pick just few.. Have a stylish day.
