The Women of "Sex and the City"

Carrie
Carrie Bradshaw is the writer. She loves New York, her friends, an amazing man, and fashion. This fashionista's style is urban and unique. A lot of her ensembles consist of pieces you would rarely see together and she pulls them off beautifully. Not only is she creative in her writing, but very much so in her style.


Samantha
Samantha Jones is the  strong, outspoken, independent one. She's a narcissist. Though she has much love for her friends, when it comes to men she can't seem to commit.She's definitely a classy player and her style suits her well. She keeps it sophisticated but sexy.

Charlotte

Charlotte is the conservative, optimistic cheerleader. She's a classic romantic. She'd like to think that she lives in the perfect world with the perfect family. Her style is a modern version of Jackie O. Her wardrobe consists of all pieces vintage, classy, and girly.



 Miranda

Miranda is the realistic but sometimes negative one. She's an extremely hardworking career woman and a hardworking mother, which is understandable why she sometimes dresses for comfort. But the majority of the time Miranda keeps her look polished and professional, but always in style.

All of these women have their own unique style as well as personalities. They're definitely known just as much for their fashion as they are for their sex/love lives. Who's style and personality fits you the best?

Fashion Icons

Elizabeth Taylor



 Now I know there’s a billion fashionistas that advise the less make-up the better, or remember to remove one accessory before you leave the house. Well, they must have never heard of Elizabeth Taylor. Though she was a natural beauty with her jet black hair and perfectly shaped eyebrows, she had a passion for fashion.  Her look consisted of an amazing collection of jewelry, vibrant shades on her lids that were lined in black, and her beautiful glamorous gowns, think deep regal colors like emeralds, purples, reds. Not to say she couldn’t pull off a casual look, because she mostly definitely could.
“Big girls need big diamonds.” –Elizabeth Taylor

Audrey Hepburn


The girly-classic look starts here. The basics with one or two statement pieces. Little black dress, pearls, and a pair of shades and you can’t go wrong. Think minimalist: Pastels … turtle necks, trench coats, Capri pants, and flats… simple make-up and jewelry.  Even in a men’s style shirt, she could manage to add her touch and turn heads.
 "My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses." – Audrey Hepburn



Marilyn Monroe
Style and sex icon, blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe will always be remembered for so many things, especially for flaunting her hourglass figure in beautiful fitted outfits and heels. Now for Monroe think sweetheart necks, pencil skirts, fitted sweaters all  in pastels and neutrals such as white, black, shades of beige and cream, and of course red. For make-up she’s known for beautiful skin with sultry eyes and of course lips in red.
I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” –Marilyn Monroe

Tough to say who’s my favorite, love them all! What do you think? Are there any other style icons that you find inspiring?
