Carrie
im definately not feeling winter.
theres nothing worse than leaving the house before sunrise and finishing work after sunset, and somebody tell me WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS WIND AND RAIN... does nothing for my hair . or my face... especially when my hair gets stuck to my lipgloss.
all of this just means there is no better excuse to curl up on the sofa with a HUGE bar of cadburys (comfort food) and a HUGE selection of chick flicks (comfort viewing)
im ashamed to admit (and cant believe im about to announce this so publicly) but i was late coming to the whole sex and the city pandamonium. infact i even made an SATC boycott despite all of my girls (and gays) telling me its my kinda thing.
Eventually I got round to it and in the words of Cheryl Cole its 'Ryyyte Op My Streeyt'
so now my thinking is on a cold wintery day what is more comforting than Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda?
And so this post is dedicated to my favourite fashion moments of SATC...
^ had to slip one in of my gorgeous friend Ellis - the REAL LIFE Charlotte in all aspects...personality, voice and style... photography and styling by yours truely ;)

Marilyn
I find it extremely irritating when I hear 'OMG I LOVE Marilyn Monroe!'
my reply is usually something along the lines of 'yeeeeaaaah, me to'
but most of the time I'm actually thinking are you sure its not just through mass amounts of nostalgia and constant advertising of her image on notepads, purses and countless other merchandising that make you think this?...
Now I wouldn't say I L.O.V.E Marilyn (I'm sorry okaaaaaay)
BUT
I do L.O.V.E this image of her by Avedon.
(why?) well because she was always photographed as Marilyn , ya know the bright bubbly blonde without a brain - huge smile and overt sexuality...
but here we just have norma jeane.
and i quite like that...because no one can keep up the act 24/7.
