#IconCity: Sarah Jessica Parker, Our SATC Fashion Soul Sister

Carrie Bradshaw may have been our original icon back in the 90s, but Sarah Jessica Parker is still the face behind the character and her fashion sense seems to be even more amazing than Carrie's. Everyone from Karl Lagerfeld to Anna Wintour is BFF's with this chic celebrity and who can blame them? Her style is a combination of class and flamboyance which nobody can emulate and she consistently keeps her crowd guessing. Years after her reign as Carrie, she remains one of our biggest fashion icons and we await her Red Carpet presence at every awards season. Let's not forget that she was chosen to play the Editor-In-Chief of a top fashion magazine on Glee to reaffirm her power within the industry. Cheers to SJP.

Here are some of her best looks.

LOOK 1

This may appear simple, but the accessorizing is pure SJP. Strand of pearls, anyone?

LOOK 2

This sexy Naeem Khan fringe dress that she wore last year had us all experiencing some serious body envy.

LOOK 3

Can you say chic? The coat, her hair, the handbag, oh my. Inevitably, it's Alexander McQueen.

LOOK 4

Speaking of McQueen, this particular look was a total dream at the Sex and the City 2 Premiere. Are you as obsessed with the crazy hat as I am?

LOOK 5

The amount of pretty in this dress cannot be calculated. I die for this Elie Saab gown.

What do you think of SJP's style? Which look is your favourite?

What Would You Do For A Day In Carrie Bradshaw's Shoes?

Via www.solemates.com

Remember when you used to watch Sex and The City religiously with all your best girlfriends and a bottle of champagne? Remember when you thought to yourself "how does Carrie afford all those shoes with her writing job"? Remember thinking "why can't I BE her?". Well, now you can. Sort of. Lo and behold, Sarah Jessica Parker is collaborating with Manolo Blahnik to create her own line of shoes.

Take a moment to process this information.

Are you screaming yet? This is probably the greatest news since Big got Carrie a walk-in closet. Though the show ended back in 2004 and I was pre-pubscent at the time, it continues to live on and inspire women throughout the generations (even those who were too young to understand it). Who hasn't dreamed of having a group of best friends that fabulous? There's a reason that we're all still talking about Big and Carrie ten years later. Despite an attempt to recreate the show through Girls, offering a more realistic perspective with relatable 20 somethings, it doesn't have quite the same appeal as lavish 40 year olds with an envy-worthy lifestyle to boot (because somehow, being single and 40 becomes desirable in this show...). Though I occasionally call myself a Shoshanna, the reality is that I'm a Carrie through and through. And a bit of a Charlotte (who isn't?).

Until this very day, we all continue to fantasize about the characters on Sex and the City and there's nothing more emblematic than a pair of Manolos. So get yourself to a Nordstrom on February 28th because that is the date they hit the shelves. These shoes, under her label SJP, will be sold at $350 a pair, half the price of the regular Manolos. It really is a small price to pay for a lifetime in Carrie's shoes, is it not? All that's missing is a pink tutu and a Cosmo.
