Shoppers' Paradise
Firstly, apologies for the rather long absense readers... part of this can be atributed to my latest addiction,
http://www.theoutnet.com/ launched last week (ok, I said only PART of my absense!). The website is the brainchild of Natalie Massenet, who almost singlehandedly shaped our opinions of online shopping with
http://www.net-a-porter.com/. The discount site is timely with its launch as we're all feeling the purse strings tighten yet, I suspect, are not yet ready to forego our lust for beautiful, occasional treats. I've already bagged a pair of classic, patent beige Brian Atwood heels, reduced by almost £300 and am pleased to report a fantastic service- speedy delivery and well packaged.
Here's some other favourites from the site:
Marchesa Dress, 40% off
Marc Jacobs Dress, 40% off
Burberry evening trench, 50% off
Chloe blouse, 50% off
Anna Sui top, 50% off
Bottega Veneta cashmere cardigan, 60% off
Pauric Sweeny python bag, 40% off
Christian Louboutin Heels, 60% off
Olivia Morris sandals, 70% off
Pedro Garcia sequin shoe-boots, 30% off
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!
