observations on Christian Dior

Steve Madden is one smart copy cat

Let the copying begin! The hottest shoe for the summer comes to us directly from, where else, Sex and the City. The shoe everyone is already wild about is a Dior. It’s worn by Carrie throughout the movie, and she makes it look fabulous. It has a New York edge that only Carrie can bring us. Smartly, Steve Madden realized that everyone would want them but not everyone would be able to afford them. So, he brings us a shockingly similar shoe for just over $100. Now you can be fabulous, fearless, and funky .. for a lot less money. Go grab your shoes girls, because they are going to fly! Thanks Steve.

Get the ‘Madalynn’ multi @ Steve Madden for $108
Note: This hottie is back ordered until June 24th….of course
Get the Christian Dior extreme cutout sandal @ Neiman Marcus for $780

girls night out & Sex and the City movie… what are you going to wear?

Four years ago, my sunday night with the girls came screeching to a halt. What was I going to do now? It was like I had been brutally frozen out of the cool click, and all I was left with was a group of mobsters. My Sunday night went from Barney’s to the Bada-Bing, and while I liked my mobsters they didn’t compare to my girls. Finally, the girls are back! I can’t wait to see what they’ve been up to and, more importantly, what they’re wearing. I think every girl who watched the show loved to see how the outfits were put together. It wasn’t always the most wearable clothing, but it was edgy and had a fresh way of presenting self-expression. So, you’re going to the movie with a group of friends. What on earth are you going to wear? Go for a top in a luscious fabric that feels good against your skin, paired with some super skinny jeans. Skinny jeans will help showcase your shoes. When it comes to the shoes… go for it! It’s all about the shoes tonight! We’ve selected a pair of Dior shoes that Carrie is wearing in the movie (only in a pewter), but there are a million copies out there. The bottom line is, make a statement with your shoes and bag on this particular night. The orange bag we’ve selected is another piece from Carrie’s movie wardrobe. It’s very accessible, and will last well beyond your night at the movies. I hope the movie transports you to a fabulous moment in New York City, and you leave with a smile on your face. Have fun, and a lot of laughs. Oh yeah… and look fabulous!
