How to dress: Posh Girl Vintage
Must share. Must share! These are the most gorgeous, stunning, lovely (expensive, slightly, but these dresses are works of art…honestly) drool-worthy dresses. I LOVE a good dress and wear them more often than not, especially in the summer. Please take some time to peruse the girly, frothy, voluptuousness of Posh Girl Vintage. I especially die over their wedding/party dress section!
A few faves:

How to dress: Vintage
Who doesn’t love an amazing vintage find? You know it’s one of a kind, and that holds a lot of the appeal. I love to go to thrift shops and vintage boutiques but I’ve recently noticed that there is a wealth of fun/affordable/lovely vintage online. Perusing is almost as fun as trying on!
SATC Inspiration: You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday
I’m getting giddy about seeing SATC 2 tomorrow, even though I’ve read some less-than-flattering reviews and I must admit that I’m not QUITE as excited as I was for the first movie. But I love it for the fashion as much as I love it for the girls. And I know the movie won’t disappoint in that arena.
This may seem redundant because I know every girl feels this way. But I’m inspired by many Carrie Bradshaw looks. One of the things I love most about the character is how she dressed for any occasion. She also often dressed with a theme, but always in a chic vs. a campy way. While she almost always looked fabulous, we also saw her dress down which makes her all the more real. More faves…
I loved everything about this outfit and I mentioned how much I love her flower brooch here.
Love, Love, Loved this outfit. This is the day Carrie meets Berger and she’s wearing a chic frock, fitted jacket and sky-high wedges.
I totes try to re-create this look. I have a crisp white blazer (thrifted) that I pair with a ratty old mickey mouse tee (gift from an old beau).
Love it when Carrie channels Jackie-O while she is dating the politician (she says, “found some vintage Halston”). It’s fun to dress for a part. You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday.
She’s adventurous…swinging for her column, and she’s dressed to work-out. There’s no place for heels on a trapeze.
I love this. Sometimes, no matter how great you look, the wind can literally or metaphorically blow your skirt up.
Why not wear a white sun-dress/parasol combo for strolling outside in the sun?

How to dress: Music Festival
So Wakarusa is coming up in less than 10 days and we don’t even have our tent/sleeping bags/anything together. That will all come…I’m hoping, but most importantly, what does one wear to a music festival. The good thing about a hippy-dippy-trippy music fest is that it is exactly that! Free-flowing moo-moos + hat, sunglasses and piles of necklaces = totally acceptable. Here are some pics from last year.
It looks like I wore little dresses, headbands, sunglasses, flippy-floppies, earrings and my handy-dandy fanny-pack. I plan on utilizing what worked last year and incorporating a few affordable new things I will use all summer.
Flowy, Flattering Dresses
1 Gingham Tube Dress 2 Mustard Floral Dress 3 Vintage Floral Dress 4 Orange knit dress All happen to be from Forever21

SATC: Carrie’s best looks
Thanks to Instyle for sharing their favorite “Carrie” looks. They have the Top Ten, the craziest and the best of the rest. I had to include a few of my own…
They have this one in the best of the rest category, but I have to put it in my personal top 10. I loved this look!!
The sequined caftan from the playboy party! I die. Only SJP/Carrie could pull this off.
SJP as Audrey Hepburn. Love this look and how beautiful she looks when she ultimately has to let Aidan down.
I love this look, not too crazy about the sweater but more the empowerment/compromise that she and Aidan land on when she cleans out her closet to make room for him. Plus, I love the hair.
Shopping in Paris, the return of the knee-high boot
The Very Carrie Suit
I am obsessed with this look from the first movie. Totally one of a kind, these shoes started a revolution!
The 80s done right
The dress with layers upon layers of tulle: all dressed up with nowhere to go
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Grown-up Carrie. Love this put-together look.
Carrie’s signature flower! This one has definitely made an impression on my personal style.
Dessert to Dress: Sweet, Sweet Summer
I don’t know what it is but I am currently feeling the love for sweets. I want chocolate, I want “real” cokes, I want cookies and cakes and petit fours and whatever I can get my hands on. I thought I would try to transition my craving for calories into outfit inspirations. Some of my favorite blogs do ‘Rooms to Outfit’, so I’m going to do ‘Dessert to Dress’
