Got it nailed...
The weather outside might not reflect the fact that we are in a high Summer month which means that I'm starting to consider my AW08 wardrobe in greater detail than ever. Whilst I've always been one to plan in advance (don't want to miss out on the best bits!), this is one of the first seasons that I've planned my look from head to toenails. This year, I'm getting very into the trends for different nail colours each season... when we were experiencing good weather (for all of 2 minutes), I was loving a slightly pale orange colour with a hint of coral for my toes- absolutely fabulously flattering against sunkissed skin & gold gladiator sandals- whilst for Winter, I'm looking forward to indulging in the new greys and purples. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the new offerings from Chanel (rumoured to be bringing out a gorgeous silver-grey)& OPI (whose AW08 collection takes inspiration from Paris)- I'm just deciding which one to try first!
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!
