Those Sandals from the Sex and the City Movie

We’ve all seen the image recently: Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) in the Sex and the City Movie pictures on the street in that belted floral green dress and jacket/cape swinging a Eiffel Tower handbag. I’m pretty sure many of you might have been wondering about the bag, where to get it, how ridiculous/gorgeous it looks, and who designed it?

Well I’m here to tell you, those are all irrelevant questions. The bag is hideous, in my view. We should all be focusing on the true scene stealer; those gladiators heels!
Find them here at ASOS. Not sure who made the ones Carrie’s rocking but, you can get the ASOS version from their website for $120 and yea baby it’s all leather.

your welcome!

Yellow Nail Polish Trend

From the runways(Lagerfeild) to Rihanna, Beyonce, and now you too!
You know Miss Ri Ri has long been rocking those bright colored nail polish( remember the orange nails form the Grammys and the green nails from her charity event?).
Above she’s with her adorable lil puppy DJ in SoHo New York. Now it seems like Beyonce is ready to follow suit as was pictured arriving in Nice, France last week.

Kid Sister ( with Kanye West) raps about jealousy & nail polish and BellaSugar reports where to get the nail polish.

But seriously, are you feeling the bright color nail polish trend?

P.S. for your viewing pleasure…:):)

Gerard Darel handbags, the new ‘It bag’?

Is it just me, or does it seem like every other celebrity these days is carrying a Gerard Darel handbag? Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba just to name a few.

At first glance you wouldn’t see anything special in the style or construction of these big ‘carry alls’; you’d probably even think that it’s just a simple everyday bag that can add a punch of color( the colored versions are the most popular- but I love the brown bags) to your outfit while carrying a mass of stuff.

But, Oh there so much more, like the fact that they are French made – I don’t mean to sound snobbish, but they’re main showroom is right down the street from my apartment on Rue Reaumur and I always pass by starry eyed and all ( most wishing i had the super power to suck clothing through glass walls! …patehtic, I know, but so much fun!) – I have to post a pic of it later.

They’re using Charlotte Gainsbourg( daughter of French Singer/Icon Serge Gainsbourg) as their new model in their ads.

Japan Fashion Week Round-up [Part Deux]

I’m back giving you the sweetest fashion and designers and shows on the planet, and we’re still looking to Japan. This list come a day before the finale on Friday, I’ve picked some brands worth highlighting.Some good, bad or ugly, so it was only befitting that I made the list as such. See below:

the good
matohu

I like the clean and relaxed naturalness of this line.

YLANG YLANG

The diverse use of different fabrics make the line pop out, but the designs keep it focused on elegance.

LILITH
I think this was a very good showing, I loved the flare skirts and pin pants, I’m very much into anything Safari, and thats going to be a big trend for Summer 07!

HIROKO KOSHINO

A little bit futureistic but also a little bit retro, Star Trek meets Marie Antoinette. I love it!

ato

I the color leggings are going to be a popular trend summer 07 as well.

the bad

YUMA KOSHINO

doho

SOMARTA

I could see Beyonce performing in one of these outfits but ordinary people wearing it on 7th Avenue NYC, I don’t think so, but great performance pieces.
