See the Dior gladiator sandal used through out and the stud belt in outfit no.1 and large statement bag in outfit no.2.
Long monotone grey thigh high socks and a cute pair of shoots (shoe boots -much more forgiving on the calves-) Also a great use of layering so that you can get more outfits out of just the one dress!
Large statement bag: CHECK, Leather Gloves: CHECK
And again we see the use of layering this time in bolder colours and those SOCKS + Gladiator heels!

Now here is what you've been waiting for....How to get that Sex and the City Vibe happening! First of all I have to say that the wardrobe for this movie is HUGE and the cost of that is even bigger so for any girl worth her Jimmy's knows that we all can't live like this
all the time so when it comes to budget some items are definitely worth the splurge while others you'll just have to take a miss. So to avoid the dilemma of knowing when to splurge and when to save I've already done the hard work for you!!!!
Ok so the main trends followed through each of Carrie's outfit in the move are the brown and black pair of Dior Gladiator sandals, a thick black leather silver studded belt used to cinch the waist (kinda bondage like which is very in this season), a couple of pairs of predominantly black leather gloves a huge statement bag and long school girl socks!
Now I have a treat for all those girls like me who are desperate for those amazing Dior Gladiator heals...
TA-DA ... This exact copy of the Dior Gladiators are available exclusively at Wittner stores or online at www.wittner.com.au for wait for it....just $169.95 a fraction of the thousand dollar price tag of the originals!
Other key trends in the movie as previously mentioned are Long socks

that reach either just over the knee or right up to mid thigh -depending on how daring a mood you're in- which can look great over stockings and tights if you wish to be a little more conservative! You can pick up these socks now from your local Dotti or Sportsgirl (see above picture) store which have them in a variety of colours and I also think that Witchery may have some as well for around $15. But as far as colours go I'd stick with more the muted tones of Beige and grey otherwise your outfit could start to look a little to Japanese school girl/tranny rather than New York Chic!
As far as the studded belt goes I know that Bardot had one or two similar but slightly smaller black leather studded options that would work equally as well if cinched around the waist or worn loosely over the hips with a pair of jeans (black skinny preferred cause yes they are still in and you won't catch me throwing mine out too soon).

If you have any more questions about this eclectic outfits just give me a bell and I'll wright back as soon as possible!
Love Always xoxo
