Take 6, Special "Sex and the City" edition




Everyone knows how obsessed I am about the release of "Sex and the City: The Movie" on Friday.

I. Can. Not. Wait!!!

So in honor of four of my favorite fashionable women, I will review some of my favorite fashion moments (whether good or bad) from Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte over the next four days.

And I'm starting with the queen of fashion herself — Carrie. As Charlotte once said, Carrie lives for fashion. She almost had a heart attack in the Vogue accessories closet, and she once discovered that she'd spent $40,000 on shoes. On shoes! She's my kinda gal ;)


Season 1 — she was certainly coming into her look! Patricia Field, the show's stylist, definitely liked to play around with textures.


Season 2 — from one of my favorite episodes. Carrie realizes that she's "Ka-Ka-Ka-Katie" from "The Way We Were" and Mr. Big is her Hubbell. One of the best quotes comes from the end of this show: "Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with..."


Season 3 — the flower trend starts — love it!


Season 4 — who can forget Carrie's infamous "fashion roadkill" moment?! At least she got to keep the jeweled Dolce & Gabbana panties!


Season 5 — love the bubble hem, love the color, love the hair...


Season 6 — this Versace Couture dress could only be worn in Paris...so over-the-top and so beautiful. Can you imagine being surrounded by all those layers and layers of ruffles? Heaven.


And now for a few random outfits that you just have to love. I know people say that Carrie had the most outlandish clothes, and they're right, but I say, take risks in fashion! Mix colors and prints! Have fun!!!!

I love this floral dress — so popular right now!


White sundresses are also super-popular this season...


As are high-waisted pants (and sexy writers like Burger)...


You know I love me some polka dots!


Carrie wore this fab LBD in one of the sexiest scenes in all six seasons — and all she did was dance with a Louisiana Navy officer during Fleet Week. The man was hella fine...and so is this dress...


Love the volume of this skirt paired with the shrunken blazer...so NOW.


Oh, Oscar de la Renta. My heart is beating faster...Carrie, ahem, SJP, is one lucky, lucky girl.


And, finally, this outfit is a stunner. The pleated georgette and lace Michael Kors dress, the rainbow metallic brocade coat, and, of course, the shoes...ruffle cascade Christian Louboutin stilettos. Wow. If I recall correctly, these shoes elicited two very famous words..."Hello, Lovers..."

My fave was the dress with the bubble hem and that hair, from the wedding in the Hamptons (right?) episode. Love.

And those shoes...am I remembering right? Are those the ones that Miranda soaked when her water broke?
