{behind the scenes of SATC II--Carrie's closet}

I couldn't wait for the movie to be released to see what Carrie's closet would look like! We knew it was fabulous after the unveiling in SATC part I, but...it looks like there have been some changes to the fabulous closet in Carrie and Mr Big's apartment on the upper East side.

It looks like it is now Carrie AND Big's closet!

But of course Carrie's stuff is spilling over a little...

Looks like she took over an entire cubby of his here...

Her wardrobe looks a bit more sophisticated...

And the piece de la resistance...

the incredible shoe cabinets!

When I grow up I want to be Georgina Chapman!

As cofounder of the fashion line Marchesa she dresses many Oscar nominees as well as socialites, but I think she may be her own best model. She is always perfectly turned out.

Hmmmm....also makes me want to dye my hair dark brunette again!

{someone is obsessed with the hills}

Over the past couple of weeks I am afraid that Phoebe has become obsessed, obsessed I tell you, with the reality tv show The Hills!

It all started recently when MTV played every episode back to back starting from season 1. Phoebe was shocked to see how Heidi has changed--she was so young and sweet in the first season. Now she is making me show her every episode starting from Season 1 Episode 1 which she views at mtv.com .

Phoebe was amazed at the change in Heidi in later seasons--but thinks that she did look pretty.
Well, ...until season 6. Phoebe thinks she should have stopped while she was still ahead.

But, anywhoo....let's discuss Heidi's handbag collection! These are just a few of the Hermes that she has been spotted carrying! I love her choice of size--wonder if the Birkins are the 28 or the 32 cm?

this off-white Birkin is tdf!

Brooks Brothers

a Fleur de Lis dress!

Who dat!

I need dat!

{...and more turquoise}

Aren't these colors so very pretty?
I do love all things turquoise....but do I want it on my (toe)nails? Hmmm...I'll have to see it in person--that is, ...if I can even locate a bottle of this hot new Chanel Nouvelle Vague color!

Mistral looks very pretty as well--which is your favorite?

{summer jeans}

I just bought these jeans and think they'll be perfect for Summer.

They are a stretchy, skinny, cropped 7 FAM jean in a lighter wash.

You can find them here.

In my ongoing quest to find the perfect white jeans I've also ordered these.

The Citizens Ava style is normally a great fit.

They can be found here.

Until then, I'll be wearing my favorite J Crew white jeans:
