Get The Carrie Bradshaw Look

Who could forget in the sixth and final season of Sex And The City when Carrie Bradshaw stepped out of a cab, and onto the streets of Paree dressed in the chicest, monochrome ensemble. Twelve years on, and that Carrie Bradshaw style remains timeless and sophisticated – and totally enviable to any aspiring fashionista. This post is totally dedicated to replicating Carrie’s Parisian Look – prendre plaisir (that’s french for enjoy!)

Carrie Bradshaw in Paris

The Ensemble: Carrie debuts a classic, monochrome ensemble – perfect for the Parisian fashion scene. She boldly clashes stripe with stripe, as teams a horizontal striped knit with an opposing vertical striped midi skirt. Surprisingly, the combination of stripe prints really balance out against one another, creating the perfect asymmetrical statement.

The Accessories: One thing I love about Carrie is her eye for detail and killer accessories. Whether that involves a pair of Manolo Blahniks or a vintage purse – the girl knows how to accessorise! Carrie’s Parisian outfit involves pieces of a sophisticated and ladylike manner – a pair of leather gloves and a bolero hat. How very chic!

The New York Girl Sass: While you can take the girl out of New York, you can’t take New York out of the girl, especially when your still embracing a little NYC tradition. Throughout all six seasons, Carrie sips on her favourite beverage, a Cosmopolitan, while she dines with her squad. If you haven’t already – order yourself one the next time you are out and about – as they are quite delicious. And don’t forget the style bible, Carrie’s favourite glossy – Vogue!

Them Boots Were Made For…

alt="Ladies Boots"
I’ve been strutting around Brisbane in a little pair of booties and my tootsies have never been so toasty, roasty warm. Ankle boots are a wardrobe staple, a necessity for winter and if you haven’t dipped your toes in a pair yet, then start by checking out my little Shopbop edit. Style them up with a comfy knit dress and a trench, or pair them down with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a bomber jacket. Did I mention these styles are under $250?

Shop Like Gigi Hadid

I think we can all agree that Gigi Hadid nails that oh so casual “model off duty” vibe like nobodies businesses. This time she’s taking fierce strides in a casual combination of denim and basic white layering. Steal her style with the following must-haves!

Denim: Channel Gigi’s effortlessly cool vibe in a pair of light washed denim like these Off White Distressed Skinny Jeans.

Cami: A basic white cami is the perfect staple for your wardrobe all season round. This Blugirl Sheer Cami Top will do the trick.

Coat: Layer up in a cool white trench like this Forte Forte Belted Overcoat and leave open to show off those Gigi esque pins.

Shades: Nothing says cool like a fierce pair of shades. Gigi favours a rounder style like the Illesteva Millan III Mirrored Sunglasses.

Heels: Add instant height with the help of a classic pump like the Nina Armando Chevonne Heel.

Clutch: Add an hint of quirk with a graphic clutch, just like Gigi carries here. I recommend the Alice + Olivia Large Stacey Face Clutch.

Shop Rosie Huntington Whiteley’s Wardrobe

Known for her fem and fierce, model off duty style and that fabulous quaff of blonde hair, Rosie Huntington Whiteley nails cool girl casual like nobodies business.

Creating the perfect balance of undone and done, Rosie proves that the perfect Autumn outfit starts with a classic pair of blue jeans. Needing to invest in a pair for myself, I’m looking to French Connection for my denim needs, with their selection of different fits, cuts and colours. Shop the French Connection denim range here.

A caramel coat or vest seems to be a must-have item this AW, adding a warm, earthy element to a casual getup. After shopping around I’ve found a few options that don’t break the bank, including these styles from Seed, Wish and Asos.

Of course, a busy gal needs the perfect handbag to house her daily needs: wallet, makeup pouch, diary, phone charger etc, so I suggest a style with a little extra space, like a tote. Shopbop is delivering the leathery goods with their collection of fabulous totes, so now is the perfect time to invest fashionista’s!

Add the final cool girl element with some killer accessories. Just like Rosie, I’ve picked a classic pair of Karen Walker sunglasses and a relaxed fedora.
