I'm SO obsessed with...




Patricia Field, the original Sex and the City fashionista herself, has launched a line for HSN...and the clothes are so Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, yet SO wearable.




Destination Style NY by Pat Field offers clothes, accessories and shoes Carrie would covet like this Taffetta Corsage dress, which is only $149 bucks.


But alas it is limited edition (all good things must come to an end) so shop while you can before it gets whisked away faster than you can say Big left Carrie at the altar.

Go Bo-ho (or don't go at all)

I think this is one trend that will stand the test of time - especially since Ang Lee is now shooting a movie called Taking Woodstock which will make Hippy Chic, yet again.


Here are my top three tips for adding some Boho Chic to your wardrobe:


  • Fringe boots (ala Minnetonka Mocs) were all over the runways this season. You can go with the mocs - or you can add a sky-high heel instead, like this pair by Christian Louboutin (pre-order now at Bergdorfs!)



  • Long "maxi" dresses are the ultimate boho-chic staple. You can see my blog post from earlier this summer on my obsession with them. Now that the weather is turning cooler, don't stash those maxi dresses just yet - instead update it for this season (and cooler temps) by tossing on a grungey flannel ala 1990's Kurt Cobain, like this one, by Urban Outfitters.



  • Braids are back! Celebs like the Simpson sisters, Rachel Bilson and Lauren Conrad have everyone buzzing about braids. Add a feathered headband (feathers were flying all over the runways this season) for an updated detail and make sure the braid isn't too neat - you want to look Boho, not Beauty Queen.



Send me your pics of your favorite Boho Chic look and I'll post them right here on my blog!
