This week, everyone's been talking about... SATC: The Movie

From T.V. ads and billboards to radio & magazine interviews, there's been no escaping the fabulous four this week as SATC: The Movie stormed box offices for one of the most eagerly anticipated film releases of the year. I've decided to specially dedicate my blog page in honour!

I'm yet to see the film but am unbelivably excited about it! My friends and I have planned a special girlie weekend- what better excuse could there be? We're going to shop 'til we drop, dress up, make cocktails & go out partying before finally putting our feet up (gotta give those precious Manolos a rest sometimes girls!) & watching the film.

SATC was ground-breaking and undeniably defined a generation... it appealed to women everywhere & let's face it, for most it was pretty aspirational... how many of its fans actually have a life like that? However, there was something in each of the characters or stories to which we could all relate & its success was well-deserved!

My Lust-Have of the Week

I'm loving LACE right now & predict it's going to be huge for AW '08. For a reunion with an ex-boyfriend last week, I teamed a black lace shift dress with black opaque tights, killer chunky heels, classic Chanel red lippy & a knockout pearl cluster ring. Sounds a little costume- like? It wasn't... I felt fabulous, confident & sexy without worrying that I was flashing too much flesh.

GET THE LOOK- SATC STYLE

Everyone has a favourite character or one of the girls to which you most relate... here's how to steal their style!
There have been numerous "pap" shots of the movie being filmed & one floral outfit which Carrie wore really stood out. Her volumous top & shorts ensemble might raise a few eyebrows off-screen but this POPPY PRINT VINTAGE-STYLE DRESS FROM OASIS £85 is perfectly girly for a Summer's date or dressed up for a wedding.


Miranda always dressed conservatively for her high-powered career as a lawyer but actress Cynthia Nixon wowed at the premiere in a plunge-front black maxi dress similar to this FRENCH CONNECTION BLACK MAXI DRESS £95

Outrageously sexy Samantha's clothes always reflected her confident personality. She'd love this TIERED SATIN HALTER DRESS FROM LIPSY £50

Feminine Charlotte would love the pink of this dress as well as its classic style, evocative of that other US style royalty, Jackie O. PINK SHIFT DRESS FROM LK BENNETT £149

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT...

I'm loving REN shower gels with my favourite being Neroli & Grapefruit Zest Body Wash. Its sweet citrus scent is refreshing and uplifting and it's 100% natural with no nasty parabens, petrochemicals, etc... At £14, it's more expensive than your average Boots own brand shower gel but I think it's important to invest in a treat for the shower as it makes me smile first thing every morning!

Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara in Black is a desert island essential for me- the chunky wand really coats every lash and adds volume. I'm also totally hooked on YSL Easy Liner, again in black. It's a liquid formula in an applicator which is reminscent of a felt tip pen- so easy to use, even for those with a less than steady hand- I've been known to use it on the move!

New Yorkers are renowned for their high-maintenance grooming and perfect manicures are an absolute essential. I'm loving NY brand, Essie, for its fab range of colours, fun names, long-lasting finish and great packaging. Check out http://www.nailsbymail.co.uk/ which stocks my favourite colours, "Mademoiselle" for a natural finish or "Sole Mate" for something vampish.

O.P.I is another brand worth checking out (nail station in Selfridges)- why not wear the wonderfully named, "Chick Flick Cherry Red" especially for the movie?!




Skin Deep Dry Leg Oil from This Works £32

I love everything about this product- from how sleek the packaging looks on my bathroom shelf, the texture of the oil, to the amazing scent & of course, how soft it leaves my skin feeling! A wonderful pampering treat!
