"Sarah Jessica Parker loved a pyramid-studded 2-inch black vintage belt so much, she nicknamed it 'Roger.' 'I said, "Sarah Jessica, you cannot wear this belt over every single dress," ' Field said." (Quoted from the Chicago Tribune Review. Click to read full story.)
The other thing that I noticed the most in the movie, style-wise, was the handbags. In one of the early scenes, Miss Bradshaw is carrying an Hermes Birkin bag. Now, I can't help but think that this is more Charlotte than Carrie--any thoughts? There was that episode with Lucy Liu where Samantha was trying to get one, but I think that was just a power thing and not a style thing. Of course, Jane Birkin did exhibit a certain spretzatura favored by Carrie, and in that sense the bag fits. There's always the argument though that it's a Birkin; therefore, it's fabulous. And this one was, in a green that looked like a lux skin--croc? Lizard?
Carrie also had what looks like a YSL Tribute Tote that had the dipped look of the Raspail tote. Of course now I can't find anything l
ike it, although I should mention that the Tribute patent is on sale at the YSL online boutique. If I could in anyway justify a handbag that costs nearly as much as my rent, I would get the grey, but that's not going to happen this
month. Besides, May has been all about shoes. Who knows what June holds?So what did I think of the movie? I wept through the entire thing. I loved it in the way that I love myself. Poetic, no? No, but different times that I took some "me time" I would make a snack and watch a season of Sex and the City and get lost in their world. Watching it again was like seeing old friends.
