Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: SATC Hits London!

Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic

The daily chronicle of a fashion-and-beauty obsessed, style-writing, pseudo-Angeleno who made her way from the Great White North to La-La Land -- otherwise known as Los Angeles, California -- and back again. Till the next big city calls out her name, that is.

: Name: Haute Hippie; Location: Everywhere and anywhere

I'm a Vancouverite who moonlighted as an Angeleno. My momma is the best in the entire world, and I'll argue you hoarse on that one. I've been in love only once in my life. The East Coast calls me but the West Coast is in my blood. Social butterflies -- and party animals -- are a great species. Fashion and writing will be the death of me, but what a way to go. Carine Roitfeld is fabulous. I would die a painful death if art, design, photography, fashion, music and dancing did not exist. Always kind of wondered why Smurfette was the only girl in town. I can't draw. Absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. I feel so lucky to have the girlfriends that I do. I'm a total sun baby. Think I might be a workaholic. I may have slight road rage. Ice cream and hockey are religions. I buy too many glossy magazines. Nothing beats someone with a killer sense of humor. Chivalry is really not dead. I'm a victim of minor vertigo and a serious lead foot. Always up for meeting people from paths different than mine and crossing paths with old friends. At the very end of it all, I want to be able to look back and say: Yeah, I sure lived a damn good life.

SATC Hits London!

It seemed a lot weird to most Sex and the City fans that the movie's premiere was taking place in London, and not the show's "fifth lady" and first love: New York.

Despite the brouhaha, the SATC premiere has come and gone today in London, bringing heaps of fans out to see what the lovely quartet were wearing on the red carpet.

Sarah Jessica Parker channeled Carrie Bradshaw in every way, wearing a pale green tulle and feather strapless Alexander McQueen and a sky-high, garden-themed Phillip Treacy Hat with her trademark curly locks down and loose. It is TBD whether the shoes on her feet were Manolos.

Kim Cattrall picked racy red Vivienne Westwood, Cynthia Nixon looked stunning in a rather revealing black Calvin Klein and Kristin Davis was sugary sweet in her pretty-looking vintage.

After trying to get this film up and running for awhile, the girls have finally done it -- martinis, Manolos, Magnolia, men and all.

It's been a long four years, but May 28th will be worth the wait.

I'm Lovin' it: These SS08 Givenchy gladiator heels, because they remind me so much of the Christian Dior pair SJP wears with that amazing green and white dress in a scene with Chris "Big" Noth (as seen from those promo stills and pap shots).

I'm Over it: More than two weeks till the North American SATC premiere. Obviously.

Track of the Day: All Dressed In Love by Jennifer Hudson, for the Sex and the City movie soundtrack. It's such an SATC song. Kudos to Jennifer Hudson for scoring a role as Carrie's assistant, too. Getting kicked off American Idol was the best thing to happen to J-Hud! Also "The Heart of the Matter", that Eagles hit redone by India Arie from , which seems to serve as the movie's new theme song.
