Carrie: An American in Paris
It has to be no secret that I love Sex and the City, I love Carrie Bradshaw, and I love Sarah Jessica Parker (I’m even old enough to remember her from Square Pegs and that 80s dance movie she did with Helen Hunt). Anyway, lately I’ve been staying up late and SATC comes on here, 2 episodes back-to-back, at midnight. So if I’m up til 12, I’m up til 1. Well recently were the Carrie-moves-to-Paris-with-Petrovsky episodes. Not my favorites, but Carrie’s outfits… well that’s another story entirely.
When she is fleeing New York and runs into Big (who looked very old and ashen with bad teeth)…
The luminous Versace gown (I guess if you’re going to get your heart broken, you may as well feel like a beautiful princess in a fairytale during the process)…
And my all-time, #1 favorite, Sonia stripes…
Wish I could have found a larger image of the whole ensemble -- the coat, the hat, the bag... sheer perfection.
Thank God for Patricia Field. No matter how old the episodes get, the fashion just never gets old. Inspiration for days…

ditto for me. i like this series so much that i bought a complete DVD set plus movie #1. perhaps the best part about the show, for me, was watching her style evolve through the years…to finally the ultimate: parisian chic.

I wish WGN would pick up the syndicated TV series again and ease up on the Friends reruns! I miss my lullaby.

I love that Patricia Field put stylists on the map. Once upon a time they wer’nt even mentioned outside the film and tv industry–now, finally they’re celebrated . . .
