Marks and Spencer Patricia Field: Destination New York
Oct 15, 2008 fashion
The ultimate high street/designer collaboration has just hit the stores this with the Patricia Field collection, released by Marks and Spencer this morning!
Hailed as ‘The Legend’ of style, Patricia Field opened her first fashion boutique in New York’s fashion mecca, Greenwich Village in 1966 serving forward thinking scenesters. Field then went on to work as a stylist for film and TV. It was while working on Miami Rhapsody that she first met (and made an impression on) Sarah Jessica Parker. As we all know, Parker and Field were to re-unite for Sex and the City and transform our attitudes towards fashion and how we express ourselves through our clothes.
I love Sex and the City – the series and the movie. It was this collaboration between stylist and show that ignited my passion for fashion, proving to me that I could show the world exactly how I was feeling through my wardrobe. The idea that if an outfit feels right – it is right.
Readers, this collection does not dissapoint. Heavily inspired by Carrie’s wardrobe in Sex and the City the Movie, there are many fabulous dresses on offer, most notably Carrie’s gorgeous flower corsage dress from the opening of the film (though this hasn’t been released online-yet). Field has adapted the dress to make it more wearable – it’s now black and the corsage is pinned on, so you can take the flower off, transforming it from a big statement into something a little more demure.
My favourite is The Rose Puffball Dress, again transformed from white to black. This iconic dress is made from a rose jacquard fabric with a layered pencil and puffball skirt. The flattering cut will hide heavy hips, whilst highlighting a waspish waist. Modern and wearable, I adore the small capped sleeves as my upper arms need some toning!
If Carrie’s wardrobe isn’t you thing, there are some items clearly inspired by Sam, Charlotte and Miranda. The Red Hot Asymmetric Dress is clearly a homage to the ever sexy Samantha! Asymmetry is a huge trend for 2009 and as every fashionista knows, red is so on-trend. There’s also a cheeky little nod to Samantha’s love of 80’s power dressing, with the red patent belt and gold snake buckle attached to the dress.
Available online or in selected Marks and Spencer stores, you’d be mad to miss these must-haves!

Sex and the city movie dvd
Sep 8, 2008 Uncategorized
The count-down had begun. In just two weeks time, Sex and the City movie will be available to buy on dvd and I couldn’t be more exited!
Set four years later, Carrie’s on the hunt for a love nest apartment to share with long-term love Mr. Big, but when they make a deal get married, things don’t exactly go as planned. Girlfriends Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are going through crises’ of their own as they muddle their way through marriage, motherhood, relationships and work.
I saw the film with my girlfriends and loved it, but I’m really looking forward to watching Sex and the City at home, with a tub of ice-cream and a box of tissues!
The storyline is wonderful; it totally lived up to my expectations…..unbelievable fashion, laughter, tears and a happy ending….it was as if those Manhattan girls had never left us.
The dvd is available in three different versions, the standard single disc edition, special double disc edition and blu-ray.
I’ll be buying the special double disc edition as it includes loads of great features, a further twelve minutes of film, extended commentary with director Michael Patrick King, a conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘the fabulous fashion on SATC’ with the awesome Patricia Field – not to be missed!
