"Bag Borrow Or Steal" The Sex and City Handbag From The Movie



I am sure you must have seen Sex And The City Movie by now, if you haven't what are you waiting for? Other than the clothes, handbags also play a huge part in the movie. In the film, Jennifer Hudson's character Louise, rents bags from Bag Borrow or Steal. In particular she rents Louis Vuitton and Chanel bags. You can borrow her Louis Vuitton Blue Denim Bowly Handbag and her Classic Chanel bag above either for a weekly or monthly. It is not only Louise's bags that appear on the Bag Borrow or Steal site.

Runway to Vanity Fair Photo Shoot July 2008

Here are some extracts from her interview.

On why they named their daughter Shiloh: "It’s a biblical name,” she told me, “but we didn’t name her for that. It was a name my parents almost named their first child—there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most southern name [my parents] could come up with. It’s a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. I’d gone under it when [Brad] called hotel rooms where I was staying."

On how she plans on raising her kids religion-wise: "[My mother] was Catholic but also a child of the 60s. She stopped going to confession at one point because she was having sex before marriage. To me, she represented what religion should be. She never preached. If things didn’t make sense to her, she never just accepted it. I had Communion, but she never forced me to go to church. Brad got me this great thing for Christmas. It’s a bookshelf that has a book on every religion. That’s how we plan to raise our kids. Teach them about all religions. They can pick one or be a student of all of them. We’ll celebrate Kwanzaa for our girl. We’ll celebrate moon and water festivals for our boys. We’ll take them to temples in certain countries. Also to church."

On Brad Pitt coming into her life unexpectedly: "After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn’t looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know? I don’t see him as an actor. I see him very much as a dad, as somebody who loves travel and architecture more than being in movies."

On her mother's passing: "When [my mother] passed, I realized that somebody who lives life with that kind of dedication to their family is the most noble. I was aware of it growing up. I admired her. And I loved her. But in her passing she reminded me what matters. And what’s most fun—to put yourself aside for these other little people you’re raising."

Carrie Bradshaw's Manolo Blahnik Pumps



For those of you that have seen the Sex And The City movie, you will recognise these shoes. Despite Christian Louboutin being the shoe designer of the moment, I admire Patricia Fields for making Carrie stay faithful to Manolo Blahnik. In the film Carrie says that these Something Blue Satin Pumps cost $525, so why are Neiman Marcus selling them for $895?

UPDATE: Since writing this post, the shoes have gone up another $50, they are now $945.

Nicole Richie in Alexander Wang



Nicole Richie keeps is sweet and simple in this sleeveless Alexander Wang LBD, which she accessorizes with a dark chocolate clutch and snake-skinned pumps.

In Victoria Beckham's Closet - dvb Aviator Sunglasses



Pretend you're dodging the paparazzi in these yellow trimmed dVb Style Sunglasses Gold Bar Aviator Sunglasses ala Victoria Beckham. The matchy police will not like the fact that the style queen, matched her glasses with her jeans, but that is VB for you. The ex-Spice Girl/now fashion designer, designed these sunglasses which cost $300, and come in a variety of other colours such as black/gold, red and brown.

Who Wore Emanual Ungaro Better?



Eva Longoria graced the red carpet at the 2007 Golden Globe Awards wearing in this navy blue Emanuel Ungaro gown with beaded turquoise straps and a chiffon train. The Desperate Housewives actress wore her hair up to show off her stunning drop earrings, and carried a silver clutch.

TV Reality star and Playboy model, Kim Kardashian attended the - it kid you not - 2008 Golden Nymph Awards at the 48th Monte-Carlo Television Festival wearing the same gown.

I will choose Eva, because with her hair up, she was better able to show off the dress.

I fell in love with these Prada Butterfly frame sunglasses the second I saw them on Kim Kardashian, but model Sasha Pivovarova had them on in her Spring 2008 advertising campaign for Prada.
