Patricia Field at Marks & Spencer.....


Patricia Field 2008

In case you didn't know, the legendary Patricia Field, Sex and the City Stylist, teamed up with high street giant Marks and Spencer to design a one-off capsule collection. The celebrity stylist best known for popularizing the mismatched style of Carrie Bradshaw and making Manolo Blahnik an expensive habit, showcased this exclusive collection on the catwalk of New York Fashion Week last month.

An unlikely collaboration you may ask but with Field and her ‘midas touch' combined with Marks and Spencer's exceptionally high standards of quality, it's destined to be a match made in retail heaven! The 35-piece range is inspired by Field’s own definitive style and the key trends from the SATC series and movie. SATC fans can snap up reworked versions of floral print dresses, jumbo corsages and the studded belt that SJP loved so much that she wore it in almost every scene of the movie. I have my eye on the gorgeous sequin dress (below) a scarf and clutch bag which are timeless pieces that can be matched up with anything.

I wish they had produced a version of the greenish tutu dress that Carrie wore in the final episode of the series. This was my favourite dress and I think Sarah Jessica Parker looked really beautiful in those scenes.

The Patricia Field collection for M&S will feature 40 dresses, starting as low as £40, in sizes 8-20, as well as tights, shoes, and scarves, from £15 and graffiti-print shoppers, at £2. Get your sleeping bags at the ready! Judging by the success of other celebrity designer collaborations such as H&M, don’t be surprised to find die-hard fashionistas camping outside M&S the night before the launch. I know, M&S!! Who would have thought that anyone would get excited over M&S even though they have revamped their image with the ‘Twiggy’ campaigns, but this is an opportunity not to be missed.



The new range known as, ‘Destination Style™ New York’ will hit stores nationwide on the 16th October and will be available through selected partners internationally. But if you happen to be in London on the 15th, you can meet Patricia Field at M&S Marble Arch where she will be hosting a champagne reception to launch the collection.

Get SATC style at M&S prices. I'll beat you to the check out (online)!!!!

L.O.V.E is Coco Mademoiselle..

I am loving the new Chanel Coco Mademoiselle ad with the stunning Keira Knightly and catchy Joss Stone soundtrack. This beautiful song makes me want to grab my partner, put on that LBD with some sexy heels and dance under a moonlit sky. It reminds me of those romantic perfume ads of the 80s that would always come on just in time for Christmas. I know its a bit early but I think this will make the perfect Valentines tune. Check it out!!
