Carrie's Studded Belt

Sarah Jessica Parker wore this beautiful belt in the Sex and the City movie and I fell in love instantly and so did Carrie because that belt makes just as many appearances in the movie as the girls themselves. Actually, I can safely say it almost out shined the shoes in the movie.

So for those of you interested in getting a replica of Carrie’s vintage belt from the movie here are a few websites you can look into.

- Patricia Field: You can buy an exact replica of the studded belt on the Patricia Field site come Mid July for $120.00. You can reserve your copy on her website www.patriciafield.com
- Shop Intuition: For $250.00 you can also pre-order the belt for August delivery. www.shopintuition.com

Fashion Sunday: SATC Movie, Carrie's white pants and vest

So it has been a month since the Sex and The City Movie and I have been meaning to write about the fashion from the movie but with all the websites and blogs that have been dishing about the movie I decided to wait. So now that most of the hupla has died down I am ready to write about some of my favorite outfits.

The first outfit that I will deconstruct is the white pants outfit that Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) wears at the beginning of the movie when you first see the other girls. I love the whole outfit with the exception of the black tie with brooch. I am not a fan of ties on a woman, I was not a fan in the eighties and I have not changed my mind now. I am also not a huge fan of the color pink, mind you I do have some pink clothes but they have to be the right shade for me to wear them.

So below is my outfit with some of the key pieces from Carrie’s outfit that I own.

- White pants: $20 at New York and Company
- Purple and white shirt: Bought a while back at New York and Company do not remember how much.
- Black peep toe Sam & Libby slingbacks: On sale at DSW for $11.98
- White Vest: $32.95 at New York and Company











Total minus the shirt: $64.93

So what do you think? Let me know in the comments section or leave me a link to your Sex and the City movie look.

Sorry...

It has been a while. I do not know where time went. One minute it was June 6th the next minute it is June 26th. Where did the last 20 days go? Is like every year time moves faster and faster.

So, what has gone on in the world since last I blogged? (click on the pink words to read the story)

- George Carlin passed away on June 22, 2008 from a heart attack.
- Boy George is banned from entering the US. hahahahaha....
- The lost Amazon Tribe that was "discovered" a few months ago was just a hoax.
- Kanye West is crying yet again. Geeez, someone get him a tissue.
- Don Imus is in trouble again. When will he learn to keep his racist comments to himself?
- World of Warcraft's version of Paris Hilton. I just had to add that here, I thought it was funny and I like to play WoW.
- A woman makes history. You go girl! I salute you!
- A man puts his life up for auction.

So what else has been going on? I know I have not even touched the surface but it is quiting time at work so I am going to end it here.

Fashion Fades, Style is Eternal...

No one could have said it better. Yves Saint Laurent a genius of fashion passed away at age 71 last Sunday of brain cancer in Paris. He was succeeded by his life partner Pierre Berge of 50 years.

Yves Saint Laurent started his fashion career at the age of 17 when he left home to work for Christian Dior. Four years later on October of 1957 Christian Dior passed away and a 21 year old Yves Saint Laurent was pushed into the role of head designer of the house of Dior which was in financial ruin. It was on his shoulders to save the fashion house and bring it back from the dead. Not surprising YSL took that challenge and succeeded.

YSL’s first collection as head designer of the House of Dior was a success. YSL channeled Dior’s exquisite fabrics, perfectly proportioned and flawless design but with that he brought his own twist to the clothing by making them more youthful, lighter, softer more everyday people friendly by making it easier to wear. Season after season for 3 years you see YSL’s design grow and become bolder, daring sometimes well received sometimes not but he rubbed the Dior’s upper management the wrong way and when he was called to defend his country and join the French Army in 1960 they gladly let him go.

He lasted 20 days in the French army before being institutionalized in a mental hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown.
In 1962 the House of Dior gave YSL his walking papers. Together with his lover Pierre Berge as business partner he started his own fashion house and thus a star was born.

YSL was first to do many things; First to have black models on the runway shows, first to make ready to wear popular; First living designer to be honored at the Met in NYC; First Couture house to launch and many other firsts.

After 46 years of greatness that the house of Yves Saint Laurent has put forward from the genius mind of YSL himself Stefano Pilati the current head of YSL has some big shoes to fill and all eyes will be trained on him. Only time will tell where this label will go. All I know is that there is one less star shining in the night sky.

Reste dans la paix Yves Saint Laurent!

Memorial Day Weekend

I know this post is coming a little late but I kept on forgetting to upload the pictures and when I would remember I was too lazy to upload them. So for memorial day weekend I picked up one of my friends that I have known for about 10 years. He is so awesome and alot of fun. He has been having a really hard time with life and I thought it would be a great idea to pick him up and have him hang out with us for the weekend. I am glad I did, he is so much fun. Here are some picture's:

You can never say I am not a good friend, I drove for an hour and a half to the boonies to pick him up. At least it was a beautiful day, I had the top down and the music blasting it was a great drive.

Look at the skies, mountains and farms! It looked so pretty.
And here are my friends. We went to this restaurant that is a block away from my place to have some French Onion Soup. It was soooo good.
hmmm.... I need to remember to get my Cobra Commander T-shirt back. Funny thing is I did not realize till now that she is wearing it backwards. hahaha...

Ciao Bella's! Stay Fabulous!
