As of yesterday evening I had a ton of unanswered emails (sorry uh…everyone…i do not hate you), bills to find & pay, laundry to do, and a bag to pack for Philly this weekend (shopping recommendations, anyone?). So I did what any responsible young twenty-something with a lot on her plate would do:

I went to see a midnight showing of Sex and the City.

And ladies and enlightened gentleman, it was brilliant.

I’m not sure what I was expecting – I deliberately avoided most of the articles and especially reviews beforehand – but it completely exceeded my expectations in every way. Smart writing (puns! metaphors!) and plenty of fashion porn. I was hooked all over again.

So if you haven’t yet had enough of SATC (never!), check out this spoiler-free New York Magazine interview with stylist Patricia Field. I too thought the cream dress with the huge flower was the perfect choice for the opening outfit but I can’t believe Field didn’t “get” SJP’s hat at the London premiere. Um hellooo…Phillip Treacy…!?!! Legendary designer and favorite of Isabella Blow – ?!! It was the perfect choice and one Field, as a pretty fearless designer/stylist, should get (I mean, she sells poodle handbags).

Side note: I’ve been pining over this clutch (or this one? can’t decide) by Field for months & months now…..

There’s so much to say, but I don’t want to spoil it for those of you anxiously fidgeting in your desk chairs to see it this weekend. Let’s talk next week, shall we?!

    Ha – I was in Philly last Saturday instead of getting to see SATC. (Thanks for holding back on your full review until more people see it though!)
    Try Duross & Langel (http://www.durossandlangel.com/), my lone discovery from my 4 hour trip if you like skincare and soap products. Super fabulous staff and great products. I’m officially addicted to their Naked moisture cream.

    The movie was fab! I’m going to see it again.

    I think the yellow clutch is cute.

    Is it pathetic that I still haven’t seen the movie?…The idea of an throng loud middle aged, scantily-clad, over-made-up, clownish-dressed, psuedo-inebriated women yelling in high pitched voices inundating a dark movie theatre was a bit scary and enough to peak my patience this weekend…No worries, I’ll catch it later.

    shopping in philly…?
    there are some great boutiques throughout the city…you can find them in olde city (which is around 2nd and market) and there are lots of stores on walnut street.

    another great place is king of prussia. they have almost every store you could possible imagine…its about 20-30 minutes outside of philly depending on where you’re staying…

    main st in manayunk has boutiques as well. thats typically where i go if i want to find something that no one really has.

    good luck and enjoy the city… ;-)
