Carrie Bradshaw is a fashion original. She combines high street with haute couture, and a dash of vintage for good measure. This makes her off-beat style hard to emulate without trawling your grandma’s closet, all op-shops within a 100 mile radius and manoloblahnik.com.
We’ve gathered up some key Carrie trends that won’t stretch the schedule or budget so you that can rock your inner Bradshaw...
Carrie tweaks sporty chic Carrie’s never had a gym membership and barely walks two city blocks in her Blahniks, but even she loves to do relaxed dressing on occasion. For Carrie, relaxed means soft fabrics, some stretch and muted tones. Grey is the darling colour of winter so you shouldn’t have any difficulty laying your hands on some. As ever, Carrie rocks those heels. Wear a round toe to keep this look up to date.
1: Rib Detail Roll Neck, $89.95AUD from Witchery2: Knickerbocker pants with waist tie, $35AUD from Supre Look two: Parisienne stripes “I want to arrive looking impossibly fresh looking,” exclaimed Carrie to her girlfriends on the eve of her flight to Paris. Stripes must be the epitome of Parisienne, but to give them a shake up move away from the monochrome. Red and blue, or lemon and grey look striking together, and make your look crisp by keeping your accessories within the two-tone palette. And, if you are lucky enough to visit the city of love, be aware they don’t snack much so tuck a new FLING® chocolate bar into your Fendi “baguette”. 1: Birds of a feather Stellar striped knit dress, $135 from Frock You 4: Oui Oui pendant necklace, $40 from Frock You 5: New FLING® chocolate bar, from Supermarkets, Dairies and Petrol Stations near you. I could have danced all night There’s little Carrie loves more than an excuse to dress to the nines. Whether it’s a charity ball, cocktails with the girls or even your wedding, make the most of every excuse to go all out- life is too short not to! Corsetry doesn’t have to be expensive- be adventurous and try op shops or online sales (this featured dress is an online sale sample.) Let your feminine shape do the talking and highlight your favourite feature, whether it’s your décolletage or tiny waist. 2: Silver earrings, $19.90 from Lippy 3: Bennett Cream peep toes, $162 from Wittner 4: Gorgeous soulmate, $Priceless from NYC Look four: Cheeky Carrie Carrie’s cosmetics are all about shiny curls, defined cheekbones, bold eyes and nude, glossy lips. A cheek gloss will give your cheeks some serious colour. A swipe of bronzer will help restrain the red and add further bone definition. These cute as a button glosses can double for your lips, and are smaller than a matchbox! Kohl is perfect for those who are nervous about their eyes because it doesn’t matter if you slip: you’re meant to smudge the edges! But to do Carrie’s look here, keep your pencil sharp. 3: Bloom Pure Mineral Make Up- Radiant Touch (sunkissed), $47 from Adore Beauty
