Sex and the City 2 Style Trends

by

How fabulous was Sex?! Full of fun, friendship and, of course, fierce fashion, Sex and the City 2 was one big extravagant party. The return of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) did not fail to live up to expectation with martini -sipping and a penchant for amazing heels  in this splashy sequel shot in Morocco. Thanks to the featured ‘Abu Dhabi’ getaway, the fab four indulged in warm weather and Middle Eastern-inspired styles,  a trend you should be looking out for this summer! Here’s how to get the high fashion of Sex and the City 2 without having to marry a rich guy or own a PR firm:

1) Maxi Dresses

The long Maxi dress was  very popular in SATC 2 as well as a favorite from last summer season. Easy, breezy and versatile, a dress like Alloy’s Halter Maxi, $29.90-$31.90, is sure to add a pop of sexy glamour to practically any event this summer — from an outdoor wedding  or to a weekend barbecue.

2) Ball Gown Skirts

Not exactly understated but oh so fierce! My absolute favorite outfit in SATC 2 had to be Carrie’s purple ball gown skirt and tiny Dior t-shirt because it was the perfect mesh of simple and over-the-top. Make your own luxe outfit with Victoria’s Secret’s Long Skirt in Beach Linen, $39.50



3) Metallic Accessories

What’s an outfit without accessories? Pile them on with stacked bracelets like Forever 21’s Avignon Bracelet Set, $6.80 and statement necklaces such as the Venus Lure from Banana Republic, $79.50.

SATC 2: The Premiere, The Plot, The Fashion!

by

[From top to bottom: The pre-screening at the Paris Theatre, Mom & Mario Cantone (Anthony Marentino), Mom & I with Willie Garson (aka Stanford Blatch), and at the HP cocktail party]

It was a premiere event that would have done the SATC girls proud: thanks to HP, I (and my Mom tagged along too!) got to experience the pre-screening of the new movie, along with the pre-screening party at the Millennium Hotel and after-party at Bergdorf Goodman. So without further ado – I will give you some hints about the movie, without spoiling it!

1) There is a wedding

2) There is a bit of cheating

3) There is a TON of fashion-Dior, Vuitton, Halston – fabulous!

4) Miranda lightens up

5) Samantha is more vulgar than ever (but we love it!)

6) There are quite a few celeb cameo appearances

7) Carrie downsizes here closet (although it is still ginormous and lust-worthy)

8) There’s a great ‘flashback’ moment when you the fab 4 in the mid 1980s!

9) It’s 2.5 hours long, but you’ll wish it was longer (and for SATC 3!)

The after party at Bergdorf Goodman’s women’s store was a star-studded affair, completely with belly dancers and Middle Eastern food to compliment the film’s locale.  Designers, celebrities, SATC stars, press, and my Mom mingled until about 1am – and there was also a reality TV show being filmed during the party ( I think it was ‘The City’). All in all, it was a fabulous night – more pics below!

The Whole World is Going Sex and the City 2 Crazy!

by

The past few weeks my inbox has been flooded by what the fab foursome from SATC  eat and drink  to what they wear and type on. What are the noted brands, and how you can get the look is the topic du jour, and while checking my yahoo account, I noticed this article: Key Character Missing from ‘Sex and The City 2’: Carrie’s Mac. HP has partnered with SATC 2, hence you will only see Hewlett-Packard computers in the sequel. Since I’ve worked with the HP team in the past, I’ve got the scoop on the computers as well as the new ‘Computer is Personal Again” campaign, featuring Sarah Jessica Parker.

HP recently unveiled a global marketing collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures that spotlights “tech couture,” and celebrates HP’s spring collection of products via New Line Cinema’s “Sex and the City 2” film. HP’s fashionable PCs, including the Vivienne Tam digital clutch, will be making an appearance in the movie, as you know, but also check out the ad campaign, and gather up your girlfriends and buy your tickets now for SATC2 (premiering nation-wide May 27th).

Stay tuned for more SATC 2 posts and my coverage from the HP pre-screening next week!
