Before There Was Sex, Before There Was The City...

I finally got round to watching The Carrie Diaries and the verdict is in...
 I LOVE the 'new Carrie Bradshaw'.

Big bouncy curls, an eclectic wardrobe and a flare for writing; yes it's Carrie by name but its not our Carrie by nature, which is why I found myself constantly thinking "Carrie wouldn't do that" but the reality is Bradshaw circa 1984 is not the same Bradshaw circa 1998. The Carrie Diaries is not Sex and the City. That being said, I love the youthfulness and slight innocence of 16 year old Carrie I'm interested to see what happens during Miss Bradshaw's teenage years that turn her from this suburban teen into the iconic, shoe obsessed, New Yorker.

I've never been a fan of 80s fashion, so the wardrobe on The Carrie Diaries isn't one that I'm excited by but I did see a few impressive pieces.

Number one has to be THAT bag. It is the ultimate statement bag.

This customised Marc Cross bag is an instant classic!

 I love the floral Topshop jeans and Opening Ceremony top Carrie wore on her first day back at school. 

This is my fave outfit of the series premiere. The gorgeous floral blouse is by 10 Crosby Derek Lam and the bermuda shorts by Topshop.

Hart of Dixie Get The Look...

If I could steal anybody's wardrobe it would have to be Dr Zoe Hart from Hart of Dixie. 

Her style is the epitome of cool- city chic, she's stylish but simple. You can take the girl out of the big city but you cant take the city out of the girl.

Hart of Dixie returned to The CW on Tuesday night and Zoe Hart was looking very autumnal in an Of Two Minds tweed jacket paired with a Joie two tone leather mini skirt which she was also seen wearing in episode 7.

Leather skater skirts are hot right now and all over the high street. Topshop do a two tone one in Khaki/black but I would personally stick to one colour in either oxblood or black.

 Tweed jackets are great transitional pieces for spring; my faves are by Missguided and Zara seen below.

 Pastel colours (MissGuided) are a no brainer for spring and bold colours (Zara) are great for an edgier look.
