SEX AND THE CITY 2

The Sex & The City movie was so exciting for many of us ladies, girlfriends and especially fashionistas! Not only has Sex and the City revolutionized how women value their friendships through their boyfriends, friends, marriages, break-ups, kids, the ups and downs of life but it has also changed how we think and love fashion forever. We have all been in the "which SATC character are you" circle at one time or another...which one did you say you were?
* Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is fearlessly fashionable: her style ranges from uptown chic to whimsy to sex kitten. Stilettos are a staple, with designer styles mixed with flea market finds for Carrie's unique look.
* Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wears sexy styles that exude confidence. She is a Woman (with a capital "W") and the message comes across loud and clear through strong styles and bold color.
* Charlotte (Kristin Davis) has a sweet, preppy style that is always accompanied by the proper bag and shoes. Bows, cute prints and feminine styles play up the kind nature of her character.
* Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) looks like a very well-dressed career gal with chic corporate suits and androgynous styles.

Now you can peek in their closet and get the looks for less that our beloved Miranda, Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte wear in the new movie.

For Miranda's look for less: The drapey, cotton jersey dress try Ann Taylor Loft's one-shoulder ruffle dress with optional belt from Nordstrom. Add shoes from Zappos.com and, of course accessories from Stella & Dot. Layer the Signature Clover necklace with the Aimee Locket, stack on theDevi bangles with the Baby Flower bangle or the Adele cuff—if you prefer cuffs over bangles. Finish off with the Devi Hoop earrings, all in gold.


For Carrie's look for less: The white jersey dress for a summer look and a comfortable style. Here is the actual dress at PaigingJoy or for less try this one at bloomingdales. These gold wedges from Steve Madden add the new metallic trend from top to bottom. To dress up this look add color by making a statement with a necklace. Try any of these great picks(left to right): Happy Flowers, Garden Party, the Boca Bee and the Palm Starfish.


For Samantha's look for less: The black fitted dress that shows all your curves and your best assets. Here is a great find from Nordstrom. Try these great patent peep-toe pumps from Zappos.com to complete the elegant, sexy look. For jewelry...stay classy and elegant with a punch of sexy pizazz in the Josephine earrings, Stackable Deco rings and the Heirloom bracelet.



For Charlotte's look for less: Here always prim and proper, perfectly fitted suits and dresses, this sheath dress is perfect. Add the white peep-toes from Samantha's look above for a perfect finish. As for jewelry, conservative but eye-catching is key. I've put the CZ Glint Flower necklace andearrings and the simple yet stylish ivory soiree on her to keep her preppy yet elegant look.


So go out...find those looks...whichever style you believe you fit in...or step outside of your comfort zone and if you are usually Charlotte, go dress like Samantha for a day (or even a week!) and see how it feels. You never know...sometimes a new look makes you feel like a new woman, gives you a new found confidence and esteem you never knew you had!

SUMMER STYLES

Summer Styles...Don't leave home without them!

Summer is officially here!! If you live in Michigan--like me--then you know that it has been over 90˚F for weeks and it isn't getting better! But this doesn't mean you have to compromise style for the heat. Sweat or no sweat, there are many ways to feel feminine and great no matter where you are headed.

Summer is a time for many of us--especially mothers with school-aged children--to sometimes toss in the towel on fashion and put the hair up, toss on the shorts, tank or T-shirt. Don't lose style!! Even just putting on the gym shorts or the sneakers, you can still feel cute and frilly.

Just think of the last time someone gave you a compliment. Any compliment. Didn't it kind of make your day? Yeah, I know. All women love compliments. That is why when I wear my son's initial charm, love charm and the birthstone charm, I feel good. It makes me happy. It makes me even happier when someone says they love it and ask where I got it. It is a great conversation piece. Not only that, I know that I might be making someone else's day each time they wear their charm necklace if they have one too! What a great everyday necklace for summer too. Sweats, tank, dress--anywhere.

A really fun summer piece for poolside, beachside or just out to that outdoor barbeque is the Starfish necklace.Delicate, yet whimsical and fun. I love this piece. This is also a great piece for young girls, tweens and teens too. The starfish reminds me of the Elsa Peretti Tiffany Starfish, for a much better price and a few little fun trinkets and a sanddollar to add to it!
