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!

Cooper St On My Own Long Sleeve Dress, Mimco Clutch, Wittner Otto Heels, Michael Kors Blair Pave Watch (similar style here).

I love an LBD as much as just about anyone, but my heart beats for shades of pink! Particularly pastel if we’re getting technical – but really any pink hue will do! So when I stumbled across this gorgeous wall, in my favourite suburb (New Farm) – I just knew that things were about to get a little…girly!

If there’s something else I love, it’s to get frocked up – I do it often and I do it well! That involves finding the perfect little number, and right now this Cooper St On My Own Long Sleeve Dress has me completely smitten! I’m not sure whether it’s the abstract, pastel print set against the dark background, or the tiered, ruffle sleeves, or perhaps both, but either way I’m having a special little moment while wearing it!

I’m teaming this dress with some luxe accessories, a sparkly little Mimco clutch that found it’s way to me this Christmas, and my favourite Michael Kors watch. Keeping my jewellery  at a minimum, I’m letting this dress speak for itself, as it’s far too fabulous to play second fiddle against OTT accessories.

I’de love to hear what’s on your love list? Leave me a little note in the comments below!

Wittner Quirky Loafer.

I never thought I’de be kicking off the heels and stepping into a loafer, but a busy weekend calls for a low-maintenance shoe. What I love about the loafer style, is that it’s easy to slip on and off, as you quickly dash off to your hair appointment, because no laces = no fuss!

The first thing that caught my eye about this style, was the fierce animal print and pony hair texture. Super versatile throughout the change of season, these can be paired down with a jeans and knit combo, or styled fresh with a sun dress.

Did I mention these are one of the comfiest styles I’ve slipped into? Seriously, the leather lining is incredibly padded, which is perfect for this gal on the go!

P.S. Is it naughty that I’m considering the three other colours this style comes in? Black leather, black suede and beige leather – oh my! Help my guilty conscience by commenting below!

The Tasteful Cutaway Dress

A tasteful cutaway dress, does such a thing exist? Lucky one of my favourite Australian labels, Seduce, knows how to craft a sophisticated number that shows off some skin.

Seduce Enchanted Dress, Wittner Otto Heel, Swarovski Ring (similar style here), Swarovski Brief Pierced Earrings.

I’m shrugging off winter and barring the shoulders in this sexy, cutaway dress from Seduce. True, this isn’t something I’m overly used to – showing skin that is, but every now and then a girl has to take a few fashionable risks, let her hair down and frock up for a fabulous night out.

Just as it’s name suggests, this is an enchanting little number, featuring a seductive keyhole neckline and cutout shoulder detail. With a relaxed fit and a cinched waist, the shimmering semi sheer fabric drapes freely over the body, creating a flattering, feminine shape.

Styled with a fierce new pair of Wittner heels and some rose gold jewels, I’m ready for a cocktail or two with the girls, or a late night bite with bae. Where would you wear this fancy frock? Let me know below!
