Ever since me and my girlfriends watched this movie yesterday (me for the 3rd times), we've been going gaga over how lucky Carrie is to have that kind of life. Today, I hit the jackpot, finding these eye-catching stills from fashion website Of course, I'm gonna share it with you guys here, a few of my favorites :)
Blending the pastels in the middle of Arabian Desert? CHECK! What about adding them with fabulous shoes? SUPER CHECK!
Definitely not something to wear on your daily market day, however, let's ease up by looking at how fabulous the skirt is! :)
I would raid this wardrobe anytime! The cute thing is, the her and his side! Of course, the couch in the middle of it makes it much more glamorous
If you are not jealous of this, I certainly doubt your human existence! Colorful platforms and heels? Squeal!
Who wants to cuddle up with Mr.Big on this comfy couch? I DO! Hey, the green dress worn by Carrie is stunning too! :)
I couldn't help but to stare at the blending colors of Carrie's dress and the wallpaper color! It feels African to me!
Oh Mr. Big! You are too perfect for words! How many guys cooks, finances, and sparkles like you?
Here comes the housewife of New York in Abu Dhabi!
I am incredibly loving the outfits here! Pink and grey, who knows they make such a cute combination?
Jeez, a bar in a plane? Talking about real first class trip!
Oh Carrie, you always get the perfect outfit, I envy you, so much!
For those who haven't had their screenings, what are you waiting for? I've watched it for 3 times and yet I still want to watch it again! :)
The second installment of Sex and The City Movie was called “lack of sparkles”, “complete waste of time”, and “a complete failure”. I have to argue on that one. I admit that the movie has its flawed, however for the loyal fans; this is the moment that you’ve been waiting for ever since Carrie bumped into Big on the sidewalk for the very first time.
Here are my takes on (almost) every aspects of the movie:
*might contain major spoiler, remember, you are warned*
CARRIE:
Two years entering marital bliss with the more mature and wiser Big, she was in her happily ever after world before a couple in Stanford and Anthony’s wedding questioned their decision on not having children. It left Carrie in doubt whether she and Big would not be in a rut for the rest of their life ahead. On the other hand, Big has turned into a more homey person, opting to watch TV and cuddle or order in take out rather than spend a glitz and glamor in the city. A complete 180 degree from the Big that we used to see.
Carrie, unhappy about that, kept trying to drag her husband to go out with the nagging, whining, and questioning about their capably normal habits. I have to admit it that in this very moment, I questioned Carrie’s way of thinking just like she questioned Big on his obsession to watch TV and cuddle. Completely overwhelmed, Carrie went to her old apartment and decided to stay there for 2 days with work excuse. Seeing how comfortable she was, Big decided to propose an idea of them taking “2 days marriage off” to work on their “issues” (truth is: this is not a major one and can be solved with one sitting, if Carrie wasn’t too shallow). This made Carrie questioned even more on her marriage.
With the rest of the girls, Carrie experienced the exotic and cultural change in Abu Dhabi. There in the middle of a mirage, she ran into former flame, Aidan Shaw. At first, she didn’t start anything until a dreadful review about her book struck her. This sent her into a complete whack. Carrie started to play with fire by asking Aidan to have dinner. It was until in the end of it, out of passion, Aidan leaned in and kissed her. It lasted for a few seconds but enough to freak Carrie out.
Once back from her date, she questioned whether she should call Big and tell him about it. In the end, she went for it and predictably, Big wasn’t really happy about it. It left Carrie wondering, what she was thinking. The truth is she used to want to have this kind of life with Big, busy chasing him around for 10 years. Now that she has it, she went back being a fool and wanted a reverse. Realizing this, Carrie broke down into tears and wondering whether her marriage is doom or not.
CHARLOTTE: Charlotte was exactly a soccer mom. She was overwhelmed with her kids’ fussiness and her paranoia over the hot nanny. She was obsessed over the possibility of “Jude Law case”. This sent her into every kind of obsessive epitome about the reality. She needed the nanny, even so badly, that the nanny was the first thing that always came up to her mind. One of my favorite scene of Charlotte is when she put down the burden and admit to Miranda that being a mother is hard and she needed a break. It was as if the perfect Charlotte were just like us, overwhelmed and stressed out.
MIRANDA: There’s nothing major going on Miranda. She quit her job on the firm because she felt that she wasn’t appreciated. Nothing major was made out of it, on the words, she handled it well. In the movie, Miranda acted more like a rock that every one can lean on. It’s very relieving to see her grown up from the issues she had on previous movie.
SAMANTHA:
Samantha fought the conventional and went with the modern issues of women. She was trying to fight menopause. Swallowing pills, lots of pills to stop this natural aging process. However, her confidence was shaken once her pills were taken away by the Abu Dhabi custom. She felt as if once she aged, her life were over. The thing is Samantha would always be Samantha, the young sprit in the body of a fabulous middle age woman.
On the other hand, Samantha also fought against the conventional believe system in Abu Dhabi where men and women don’t embrace in public. She struggled with it, eventually fed up and went for her usual Samantha.
As usual, Samantha was the firecracker. Her presence made us laugh with her ballsy attitude. The way that Samantha thought women should be is inspiring and made such a logical sense. BRAVA GIRL
MEN:
Once I stepped out from the cinema, I kept telling myself. “You’ll find a guy like Big” He used to be a jerk, a baby who didn’t want to commit. However in this movie, he was the complete opposite. Being a settled married man who completely loves his wife wholeheartedly, wiser person, and definitely not the intimacy phobic Big you know. He was very sweet, charming, and shall I say a major eye candy (damn you Chris Noth!)
One, two, three: SQUEAL!
FASHION: Shall I say more? Patricia Field killed it! It was so fantastic that I choked! I especially love some of the clothing displayed here:
SPARKLES: Two things that I love the most about this movie’s sparkles: Carrie’s new modest but completely mesmerizing apartment and the hotel in Abu Dhabi. Both of them showed how much luxury can be achieved in both ways
I can't help but to stare at these beautiful summer styled dresses worn by the fabulous four (the definition of fabulous four has shifted from the beatles into uber modern women) These four ever stylish ladies hit the premiere of their critically debated movie, sex and the city 2 in Japan. As usual, SJP struck the audiences in awe with her utterly sweet Vivienne Westwood floral gown.
The ruffles and the floral pattern is a magnificent combination that startle hundred of eyes, including my very own.
On the other news, I will have my Sex and The City 2 screening today! Awww, I'm so excited! I've been tweeting, talking, thinking, you name it, I do it, about this movie! PS. I don't give a damn what the critics said, the movie will rock! :)
take a few seconds to really get a closer look on this look.. i couldn't help but wanting to poke on that head accessory in SJP's head. call me superficial but this look is definitely an original and make me wanna go to forever 21 to grab one of them. attention grabbing? uh yes, edgy? undeniably correct. it's definitely carrie/sjp's quirky pesona that sends this piece of fashion stuff to work.
another point here, the alexander mcqueen dress is a picture perfect of a british fashionista. i think this look is much better than the one in new york, don't you think? i agree to the saying that sjp always figures out a way to stand out among the other ladies. :)
anyway, the others didn't look too shabby either. i'm loving kristin davis' look (she has been constantly looking feminine chic) and chris north looked dapper too, very wallstreet financier vibe. good news aside, i'm still mortified with the fact that sex and the city 2 will open in indonesia in june 2! what..that's just so unfair! i've been waiting for like a year for this movie and i got later opening date? =_= point is please dear 21, stop being so shallow by opposing women realism movie and siding with the boys as heroine stuff. that's so last century
in order to repel my disappointment, i did satc quotes reading and here, i will share some of my favorites with you :)

For those of you who have watched sex and the city 2, spoil me please, drop some comments and that would made my day, thank you :)
i'm sitting in front of this ancient laptop and i couldn't help but to think about these 20 completely random things that have been jumbling in my brain for the rest of the evening.
#1 sex and the city premiere date in indonesia. God knows, i have been anticipating this all girl movie ever since the stars were still in talks about coming back. so please, if you have slightest idea about it, tell me! #2 still on sex and the city. i'm staring at SJP's yellow-greenish Valentino dress and i kept thinking, "does fabulous look last forever? cause it certainly looks like one" #3 what's up with the love for korean pop? yuck! no offense but those half heterosexual men are less hotter than real gay people. they're exquisitely more fabulous that those adolescence kiddies.
#4 what would the world be like if jane austen were still writing her realism writing?
#5 are there any women much more fearless than angelina jolie? watching her climbing and hanging down buildings, dang, i'm doubting her existence as an ordinary human, a mutant, yes, an ordinary woman? doubt it.
#6 why certain boy has tendency to join the girls' for some inside scoop? to fit in? that would be so wasted, cause the least exciting thing is to have straight man hovering around like a sick puppy
#7 is inscribing "cradle to grave" with my oldest bff on something considered tacky?
#8 who will win american idol? lee or crystal? simon says who?
#9 what should i do knowing that life is too short for drama while everyday everyone in my surrounding creates one, less or more?
#10 is nowadays women tend to adore the gays better than the straights? the best thing is, gays don't break your heart and they're not insensitive like real guys do
#11 why do we fake everything, we fake laugh, we fake cry, we fake labels, is there such thing as originality?
#12 sawyer and juliet are the most adorable pairing in lost. the hot tempered sawyer met his match with soft&serene juliet. still, thinking processing though with juliet's cursing, "son of a b*tch" while knocking on a bomb. #13 is grey's anatomy losing its spark? cause i'm getting sick of owen. he has reached beyond annoying point
#14 can one die because of having too many..dreams?
#15 sue sylvester does resemble one of my teacher, hmph
#16 joe jonas and demi lovato broke up already. haha, the disney stars have turned into another crowd of paris hilton and co
#17 when will glee do an episode on the beatles or bee gees?
#18 nicole scherzinger just won dancing with the star, yet i'm not suprised,yes, she can dance (i'm here to testify) #19 what kind of craziness will happen this weekend? :)
#20 should i watch laws of attraction tonight? (recently coming into my mind)
Before I start, let me get this straight, I'm a total goner for Sex and The City. Hell-o, it's not only about the envy-worthy clothing, it's the girl empowerment plot that sets the trend! Out of all the equally (well, not so much) girls, I'd take Carrie Bradshaw, anytime, anywhere, anyplace. Once again, let me validate a few things. First, yes, she has hundreds collections of Blahniks but you know what, she has the 'it' factor to flaunt it! Second, her character is quirky, bubbly, uniquely chic, and extremely adorable. Nobody hates Carrie Bradshaw! Third, her on-off story (which ends in hopefully a happy ending) with "Mr.Big" sold me to the ground! I'm just crazy about their sizzling chemistry, 911, fire burning for sure. So, today, I'll present to you few (that's without a, you can't get enough of it) Carrie's best looks! ENJOY!
#1 Tutu Ballerina
It's the iconic tutu that's credited every SATC credit! Believe it or not, it's worth $5 at first! Oh wow! The genius Patricia Field chose this tutu dress because it reflects on Carrie's personality, quirky with sweetness inserted! Awww :) Remember on the movie, this is A MUST KEEP!
#2 Paris When It Sizzles
One remark: HUGE! The Versace dress is clearly a perfect ending to the series! “The dress is every woman’s daydream gown, just acres and acres of tulle and chiffon. You’d expect a dress like this to be pink, but it’s this darkly romantic color—the perfect dress to be dumped in,” said Rubenstein. “There’s nothing more woeful than seeing a beautiful woman all dressed up with nowhere to go.” What can I say? The dress took my breath away
#3 Pastel in Display Remember this dress when Carrie fell into the lake with Big? Yea, that's the dress (Richard Tyler) that I want to wear when I'm half-drowning with equally stunning looking man! It's a perfect pastel match with killer handbag too! (PS. It's Louis Vuitton) Another way to describe the dress? classic vintage, classic Carrie!
#4 Carrie-d Away by The Necklace
Okay, the necklace is legendary! Think about it, I want one with my name inscribed on it! It's unique, no one will have one like yours! Adding the fact that it can be matched with everything in your closet (even Chicken Suit) adds another point too!
#5 Ms Walking Newspaper Hands down! Before Gaga even knew about this style, Carrie Bradshaw had went with it! It's a definite crowd stopper and you know what, turns out it has meaning behind it. It's about season 3 with all the talking! What can I say? WOW
#6 Casually Chic When you're not in the mood being quirky, you can always try for this look! It's very laid back yet chic, very stylish yet simple, with strappy sandals. We beg to differ Carrie!
#7 Stripey Stylish I don't know whether it's the flower or the fact that the whole pattern just match because this look is definitely working! At her arrival in Paris, Carrie already dressed to impress and she got some big flower to show! It's definitely ' An American Girl in Paris'
#8 It's a Pink World Wow Carrie! This is the most stunning gown, I've ever seen! Tres Chic! Plus, the crazy hair do is a mood booster too! How can you not love this woman? She's stunningly amazing. Course, that detail on her dress is right now driving me crazy!
#9 Green Fever You can't say no this beautiful body con dress with floral details! It's the first dress that I've seen Carrie in from the movie that just grabs my heart! It's the first classical moment where my heart just goes to the movie! :) Awww
#10 Floral Pattern A complete sucker for this one, you know how much I love floral right? SO, go ahead and try, but I'll stand by what I said :)
There it was, few of my favorites! I remember Carrie once said this:
"and we were dressed from head to toe in love... the only label that never goes out of style"- carrie bradshaw
I think her perfection in looks doesn't come from her gorgeous features, but the way she carries herself, dignified stylish women who knows what she want :)
If you have any more remarks about Carrie looks, holler away! The comment button is next to the post! wohoo ;0
Yes, the creme de la creme of fashion event has just passed and here we are, observing very thoroughly with the beautiful dresses and of course, fashion-recognized figures :D
Here are few of the most traffic stopping dresses:
1. Eva Longaria in Marchesa
I hate to point out the fact that such a beautiful dress can end up so wrong in such a beautiful girl too! Eva and dress is not a perfect team because the color of the dress is clearly not blending well enough with Eva's skin tone and her make up is ugh, adds up 10 years to her looks!
#2 Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu
It's a very simple dress to begin with, oh well, Mulligan in her 12-year-old looks surely fail to grow up in this Gala. I mean, she looks 12 don't you think? It's the dress that you wear to meet your sister or cousin, not for a Gala, hello?
#3 Marion Cottilard in Dior
I'm in complete nightmare just looking the combination between Cottilard and her dress. What's wrong with the look? Oh let's start with the very old-looking make up and the hair do doesn't help too! Finally, the very conventional detail in the dress doesn't ease up the pain too!
#4 Thandie Newton
A very nice example to combine skin color with dress color :) I think Ms. Newton got this one right! I mean, it's just so pretty! Oh you know, the purple violet color is so blooming, just like the spring! What else? Great hair do and make up too! :)
#5 Anne Hathaway in Valentino
Absolutely ravishing in that dress! Hathway never look prettier than this! The dress is sparkly, the hair do is youth looking, and her make up does compliment her princess aura! What can I say, once a princess, always a princess!
#6 Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad
One of my favorite for the night! J-Lo went for it all with her festive and attention grabbing dress. It's a perfect looks for the gala! :) Who's the designer anyway? He can be the next big thing you know!
#7 Blake Lively in Marchesa
Fashion goes terribly wrong? Oh dear Blake, I would love if you have a sincerity to cover up your assets with something. Plus, dressing up less doesn't mean you'll get more attention, well probably yes, but not in a very good way! And yea, stop tanning that much, you look awful!
#8 Kristen Bell in DVF
Very unique looking dress? It does look like a shred of newspaper put together into a dress! However, as you look more into it, you find it pretty edgy and of course, innovative! :) Adding the fact that Bell looks amazing in it does give more compliment to the dress!
#9 Kristen Stewart in Chanel
I'mnot gonna start a fact that it's Chanel or it is Ms. Stewart itself. Cause tonight, these two are just wrong! God! I don't know but I'm not feeling the Sophia Loren/Bette Davis' vibe that the look is giving me! Just a no-no!
#10 Gisele Bundchen in Alexander Wang
This couple is stunning but as for Gisele, it's not in a very good way! Well, it's indeed very risque and unique. However, I forget the mentioning of the Gala! Yes, Gisele, dress to the occasion!
#11 Taylor Swift in Ralph Lauren
As usual, Ms. Swift never fail to impress the crowd! However, the more you see the white long gown, the more you feel like asking her, "Are you living in the 19th century of the 21st?"
#12 Eva Mendes in Dolce&Gabanna
Two comments for the looks: the dress is pretty but doesn't fit Mendes perfectly, I mean really, really!
#13 Sienna Miler in Emilio Pucci
A very smooth "we're on again" red carpet debut from Jude and Sienna! Sienna looks so ravishing in her dress. Yes, some of you said it's skanky, but I'm lovin the dress! Say no more, one of the best dressed nominee!
#14 Lily Collins in Chanel
America's rising star, Lily Collins looked absolutely gorgeous in the beige/greenish color dress! The hair do is so pretty too! Of course, she maintained herself with grace and poised attitude to carry on the dress!
#15 Sarah Jessica Parker in Halston
The dress is a reminder that SATC 2 is right around the corner! Sparkle and very dashing, very SJP! What can I say? This dress will grab headlines and turn heads all over again! :)
#16 Emma Watson in Burberry
Best dressed pick for the night! The dress is a perfection, a Greek Goddess resemblance! The hair do, the make up, Emma, you rock the night!
#17 Anna Wintour in Chanel
You know what, I've always imagined her wearing the dress and finally! Yeaaa, it speaks like she's the queen of the night, and indeed she is!
#18 Diane Kruger in Calvin Klein
My eyes are playing tricks on me! This is very Ashley Olsen circa 2009! Sorry, Kruger, you're not going home with best dressed! :(
So, what do you think about this year GALA? Which dress grabs your heart?
Heiiya I'm back! or at least, i think i am! :) So summer's here, I shall talk about the most waited summer movies that you definitely have to check out! :) (may edition, part 1)
#1 Iron Man 2 When will it open? May 7 Check out the trailer here Why should you watch it? Oh yes, have I mentioned, we have not only one, but three villains!

#2 Letters to Juliet When will it open? May 14 Check out the trailer here Why should you watch it? Amanda Seyfried, America's most prominent newcomer actress stars in it. That's one! Another one is this will be the classic romantic comedy for you to like. It will be so sweet and romantic with the love city of Verona playing as background!
#3 Robin Hood When will it open? May 14 Check out the trailer here Why should you watch it? Cate Blanchett back in her infamous soldier costumes, she once had for Elizabeth ! I mean okay! That's gotta be something huh? Eventhough I'm not a fan of Crowe in this movie, let's give it a try! At least, he's pretty good in A beautiful mind and Gladiator, eh?
#4 Sex and The City 2 (my most waited) When will it open? May 27 Check out the trailer here Why should you watch it? Hello, This is absolutely rad and fabulous movie to begin with! Carrie and the girls will be back, kicking in Manolos! Plus, we love to see some of those killer clothes and heels! Don't forget the Morocco getaways! I'm in!
