Shoes and SJP… it just makes sense!

When I read of Sarah Jessica Parker new shoe line in O Magazine there was no question or curiosity… to me, it just made sense. This icon portrayed one of the best television characters for us chicks as Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and The City. As this character she lived for fashion and most importantly beautifully crafted shoes.

How exciting it is to see her name attached to something that us ladies already connected her name with!

Sarah Jessica Parker in the campaign for SJP

SJP made sure to give her very best to this shoe line. She shared her inspiration about her upcoming footwear saying:

“I’ve taken inspiration from things in my life such as the grosgrain ribbons I tied in my hair as a girl, to the flower accents from the Sex and the City wardrobe, to references to classic styles from the late Seventies and early Eighties. I’m a firm believer in quality and timelessness and have created this collection with the hopes that women will love wearing it for years to come.” 

I love that she drew inspiration from her well known character and even named a shoe after it! The “Carrie” Pump is as timeless as the “Sex and the City” episodes I never grow tired of watching.

The "Carrie" pump from Sarah Jessica Parker's collection for Nordstrom.

The much anticipated shoe line will debut in Nordstrom on February 28th and pricing will begin around $195. Although some may state this is a little pricey, I beg to differ when comparing the Manolo Blahnik‘s or Jimmy Choo‘s Carrie Bradshaw proudly sashayed in. Each shoe will have a specific name and her line will also include handbags and the “Manhattan” trench coat!

Here’s a sneak peak on what’s to come:

Diana, $365                                                       Etta, $425

Pola, $365                                                        Stella, $365

The “Leslie” wedge in coral ($245)

Inez, $245 ;                                              Wallace, $220

Ladies… start your engines because it will be a mad dash come February 28th!

In the words of Carrie Bradshaw “Men I may not know, but shoes — shoes I know.”

Let’s talk about 2013 Accessory Trends

From men bags, ear cuffs, hair jewelry and turbans… There are many accessories to choose from for every season!

Turbans were well known in 1940’s and made memorable in the 70’s by the great Sophia Loren and even Barbra Streisand. It made a huge comeback with Sex in the City 2 in 2010 and still in 2013 is going strong. Would you rock it?

Ear cuffs were statements back in the mid 90’s and it’s back with a vengeance! From celebs to street runway artist you can find these everywhere! My favorites are the gem encrusted styles that are serious ear candy! What are your thoughts… would you rock it or knock it?

Men bags… murse… whatever you choose to call it. It’s not new but what is, are the amazing colors and trends they now come in. How refreshing to see all men regardless of sexual orientation, carrying them in the most stylish ways.

Lastly… I’m loving the hair jewelry for ladies. Known in Indian culture for weddings, the fashion scene has used this as inspiration for everyday fashionista obsession.

All trends to me are worth a try… although it may not suit us all the same as the models posing with it but hey… fashion is about risks and making it your own!
