Low Budget Look - week 22

Hey everybody!

I promiss this will be my last post about Sex and the City. Well... at least for a little while (lol).

Since the second movie is premiering today in Dutch theaters, I thought it would be a nice idea to adjust this weeks Low Budget Post to the movie.

I was thinking about what Carrie would wear to the movies. Definately heels, that's for sure. A classic dress, but with a playful print, a clutch bag and colourful jewelry. Am I right?

I've been looking on the web for the right items and trust me, it wasn't that simple. What I think is funny, is that the designer look turned out looking like something Carrie would wear now (I mean, it could be a look in one of the movies), and the low-budget look like something she could have worn during the show, a couple of years back.

The colours I used are not colours I'd use together initially. But as we all know, Carrie is very good at combining prints and colours, at least Patricia Field is ;), so I thought that would be good for these looks too.
I really feel like I did a Carrie-worthy job this time, so tell me what you think!

Sex and the City 2 premiere!

Tuesday night Sex and the City 2 had its world premiere at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

In a change from the usual red carpet, the four leading ladies stepped out on a sparkling silver carpet.

As usual they looked stunning in their glamourous gowns.

Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing a bright yellow dress by Valentino Couture, Cynthia Nixon wore a black strapless Carolina Herrera gown, Kim Catrall attended in a gold embroidered dress by Naeem Kahn and Kristin Davis chose a bright pink vintage 1950s Jean Desses dress.

Tomorrow the film will hit Dutch theaters and I'm seriously having a hard time waiting! I won't be able to see it until friday, but I guess one more day won't make that big a difference, right?

Who is planning to see the movie? Tell me what you think :) .

Have fun!

Feeling like Carrie

Ladies… throw your piggy banks against the wall and scrape all your money together, we have to go shopping!
Seems like Halston Heritage is doing some fabulous business at the moment. American label Halston launched the line in 2009 and it’s popularity is rising since.
Last January Sarah Jessica Parker signed on to be creative director at Halston Heritage, so I’m super curious about what’s to come!
Sarah is making a great start at her new job by wearing half the collection in the new Sex and the City movie. A couple of dresses popped up in the trailer and now of course every Carrie-addict needs to have them (me included :D ).
There’s a white jersey dress, which was also shown in the first movie poster, an electric blue glitter plissé cocktail dress, an orange plissé silk maxi dress and a peach asymmetric jersey kaftan.
I would love to have the blue dress and the peach kaftan and the good thing is, they aren’t that expensive! OK, no H&M prices here, but Halston Heritage is less expensive than Halston, so it’s optional :D Any favourites for you?

Halston Heratige is available at the following webshops (international shipping);
net-a-porter, Shopbop, My Theresa and Singer 22.

Pictures and prices are posted below.

White jersey V-neck dress, € 269,- (net-a-porter)

Amazing (and expensive) Christian Louboutin crystal Pigalle pumps in gold. Price around € 2.100,- (Order on request)

Electric blue glitter plissé cocktail dress, $ 435,- (around € 323,-) (Shopbop)

Orange plissé silk maxi dress, $ 895,- (around € 664,-) (Singer 22)

Peach asymmetric jersey kaftan, € 269,- (net-a-porter)

The girls are back!

Morning ladies!
I have a date the 28th of May! And I bet you do too! Aren’t we all going to the movies with our 4 best friends?! Sex and the City 2 will hit theatres in Holland and I’m guessing a 2nd blockbuster is on it’s way!
Last Monday the newest trailer was released with a couple of exciting new details added. One of them being the fact that Aidan (!!!), Carrie’s former marriage-material, returns and may cause some trouble for Big and Carrie… And while Carrie is getting close to her BFF (Best Funiture Friend, LOL) again on the other side of the world, Big is getting distracted by Penelope Cruz! I mean… WHAT IS GOING ONNN?!
I’m soooo excited to see the movie! Too bad we have to wait for almost 6 more weeks… But, I do think it’ll be worth the wait from what I’ve seen.
I’d like to add that I really love the new movie poster. It’s kind of similar to the first one, they just gave her a different outfit and transformed The City into a sparkling, hot and sunny dessert and I have to say, it got me more excited right away!
Both of the posters and the newest trailer I have posted below. Watch it and love it! Any It-bags, -shoes, -dresses spotted already?!
