An Oldie But Goodie

Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of Sex and the City! The show centered on four women in New York City broke the barriers for girls on friendships, relationships, sex, and fashion. It's typical for girls (and mo's!) to identify with a different character depending on their particular personality, however the fashion on SATC really brought its audience together. The one thing we can all agree on is you can't go wrong with a little Manolo Blanik on the feet and a big flower on the shoulder. Here's to the top SATC fashion moments worth raising a cosmo to! 

First off, they went to a Yankees game dressed like this. Fur coats, heels, and diva sunglasses. What better way to get over your ex (especially when he's Mr. Big) than show up to a baseball game like this and catch the attention of the new Yankee.

The series came full circle with the Paris finale. While Carrie experienced the most unromantic rendezvous in Paris, her fashion fortunately didn't suffer the same fate. This particular green dress stood out as she dashed through the streets of Paris before returning to her one true love - New York City.

The flower trend! By the time of the SATC movie, Carrie largely increased the flower, but back in her early Aiden days, the accessory was a subtle touch. Thanks to the show's amazing styling department, florals in the spring/summer suddenly did become groundbreaking. 

My personal favorite, the Dior newspaper dress. This style was so iconic that SJP repeated the look in Sex and the City 2, after debuting it during the series. It's not hard to pinpoint what exactly makes the dress so flawless. For six seasons, viewers watched and related to Carrie's struggle to find herself and what she wanted out of life. When Bradshaw steps into this dress, her confidence just sparks that SATC/NYC dream millions of girls relate to. 

"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself, and if you can find someone to love the you that you love, well that's just fabulous."

Style Obsession: Olivia Pope

Summer beach days can be a little tough to predict on the east coast. Hence why it's so important to have your latest addictive show ready to hit play on Netflix. For me, it's been Scandal. After missing out on all the Twitter viewing parties, I finally decided to check out all that hype on ABC's hottest show. After two weeks of rainy days centered around marathoning, my gut was telling me I was obsessed. It's hard not to fall in love with Olivia Pope. Her sassiness, hot affairs, and impeccable style make politics actually seem like a good time. And while many of us can't get our wish to be Olivia Pope, we can at least take a few notes and copy her style (seriously, is gladiator in a suit synonym for fashionista?!). Some of Liv's most stylish moments:

Smash

As a musical theater lover, I can't wait for the premiere of Smash! A show about what goes on behind the scenes during a Marilyn Monroe musical? Already sounds like perfection to me.

The film production of Les Miserables has been off to a rocky start, so I had to let out a sigh of relief when Amanda Seyfried was casted as Cosette. The young actress is easily going to be a scene stealer while owning that iconic wedding dress and belting out the classic songs. Amanda has plenty of experience for this part thanks to her musical background. Here's to hoping the character of Eponine is also played by a well trained actress...

New year, new designer guilty pleasure! As 2011 was winding down, it seemed Kate Spade was everywhere. The adorable brand sells irresistible clothes, jewels, shoes, phone covers, purses, and much more! Looking forward to investing much of my shopping time at this store this year.

After an extremely long and unnecessary hiatus, the Vampire Diaries finally returned last night! Don't let the fact that it's on the CW keep you from watching this show. Not only does it have the hottest cast on television(Ian Somerhalder, swoon!), but every episode always ends with such a crazy cliffhanger that you'll be left begging for more. Although the show might not be known for its fashion, these characters are pretty much throwing a different party/fundraiser every week so there's plenty of couture eye candy to go around.

This past week, Dior announced Mila Kunis as the new face for the brand. I would love to meet whoever is behind Dior's marketing team because they can seriously do no wrong! Charlize, Marion, Natalie, and now Mila? This fashion label has the best advertising campaigns with the some of the top leading ladies in Hollywood.
