fairy tale

whenever i wear this skirt which isn't very often I always feel like Carrie Bradshaw in her tutu twirling around on the streets of New York. the last time i wore this skirt was when i went to the Style Fusion Runway Show by Styleta and won this amazing DKNY watch. I paired it with one of my favorite tops from Forever 21.

Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: Zara | Clutch: BCBG
GET THE LOOK

please excuse my shirt sticking hopelessly to me. when these photos were taken the humidity was beyond insane. i was SWELTERING. ugh...i don't like sweating. i feel like my SPF30 was just running down my face lol. i love this top so much...got it at Forever 21 for like $11 bucks fashion STEELE! see it worn differently HERE.
no matter how old you get...every woman should own a tutu inspired skirt. yeah i said it! its like a fairy tale only in real life. i also sense that men want to save you for some reason when wearing a tutu. lol. maybe thats just wishful thinking but i wore this to First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum and i did get tons of compliments so who knows!

we broke up over these shoes

lets face it, there comes a time in a relationship when you are first dating someone where you have to choose to either take it to the next level or move on.

i was once dating this very fine guy.

6'2'', facial hair (i have a thing for facial hair), and the queen's english accent (an island boy).

damn that accent.

anywho...i got these amazing Top Shop chiffon wedges after my first Fashion Night Out and was ready to break them in on a date with my then beau.

Shoes: Top Shop Chiffon and Suede Wedges

so back to the story...I show up with these on, skin tight jeans and my American Apparel 3D Mesh top...basically THIS OUTFIT from one of my very first outfit post. i was fabulous...i know because atleast 7 women stopped me on my way to the movie theatre to say...I was fabulous.

 so the movie was aweful and he fell asleep during the movie O_o.

then on our way out he looks down and smirks and then scoffs and then laughs.

i looked down expecting to see something that was funny but saw nothing but my gawjus shoes.

he then proceeds to mock my shoes.

yes...mock them.

and i thought to myself..."don't...don't mock the shoes" in my Carrie Bradshaw voice in my head.

Men just don't get it sometimes.

i called him that very night and ended things.

here lies Monroe. She had 2 great loves...and lot's of shoes!

lol.

Inspired by Carrie Bradshaw

I may be a little biased but Sex and the City is the best show ever made!

I have the DVD collection and on days like today I like to curl up with a hot chocolate

and pop in my favorite season 5!

Today is the New York City Marathon and it's so inspirational to watch all the runners on the news.

 It got me to thinking about the reason I moved to New York. Honestly is was SATC. That show really resonated with me but what really caught my heart was the 5th biggest character in the show New York City.

I always felt like I belonged here and I made it my business to get here and now that I am here it feels like home.

 Anywho enough with the mushy stuff...lets get to some of my favorite Carrie Bradshaw ensembles!

Old Carrie, New Carrie, Movie Carrie...I could care less this is one STYLISH lady!

I can only hope that one day my closet and collection of shoes will be a freakin EPIC

as Carrie Bradshaw's.

Whenever I need a little outfit inspiration I just pop in a SATC DVD and VOILA..I'm full of ideas.

Is anyone else a HUGE SATC fan?

If so what are your favorite episodes and what inspires you???

I have too many to list but season 4-5 are among my favorites.
