Head DRESS-ed

Head ornaments aren’t a look everyone can pull off, nor should everyone want to… But in the spirit of “Sex and The City 2 – Carrie On”’s first weekend at the box office – we’d like to give SJP and Taylor well deserved shout outs for successfully dressing their heads. Eva Mendes has been seen regularly rocking hair accessories in recent months, and Lauren Conrad loved herself many different bands in the early seasons of “The Hills”. But it was Blair Waldorf who truly brought headbands back in “Gossip Girl’”s first season two years back – and although her and her Columbia-ways have outgrown her bowed-dos, we’re seeing new ways to play up those lady locks.

Taylor’s jeweled band is Free People – her cubic-pewter-color isn’t available online but others are:

SJP’s band is vintage 1920s, styled by her lead SATC 2 hairstylist, Mandy Lyons. Try similar looks:

Wearing these bands closer to your forehead than Ms. Blair’s look, results in less prep, more play.

So in the spirit of crowning your style – beDAZZLE!!

the wait is over…

“Carrie On”

It’s almost almost almost time… “Sex and The City 2 – Carrie On” opens in the US May 28, 2010.

For six seasons (1998-2004), we LOVED these four women on the small screen. Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte Yorke (Kristin Davis), Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) stole our hearts with their big hearts – incredible friendships, enviable Manhattan lifestyles – and of course, their clothes. Like their characters, these women’s sense of individual style evolved each week. There was (and thankfully still is) something for everyone as they continue to capture our hearts, and our closet-envy again, and again, and again.

From the lovable Carrie necklace that Carrie wore religiously throughout the TV series – to the perfect vintage studded belt she paired with a green and white floral dress-coat combo (viewing NYC apartments with Big), and the classic Burberry outerwear, accessories and childrenswear – we were all “Carried Away” by the first movie’s fashions. Renown Costume Designer Patricia Field, and Co-Designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago outdid themselves. And now with Jacqueline Replansky (Confessions of a Shopaholic and The Devil Wears Prada) and Jacqueline Oknaian (Ugly Betty and Confessions of a Shopaholic) on board, and the glimpses of aviators we’re seeing Carrie in with a Halston Heritage white dress (paired with Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels, Chanel Clutch, and Solange Azagury-Partridge gemstone necklace) in the long-awaited new spring arrival… we could not be more ready to see what they are wearing as these dazzling ladies “Carrie On”.

Get excited.
