Sex and the City Movie 2 Trailer - meet the fashion personalities
There are few films and sitcoms that I can enjoy over and over again and among others like Frasier and Friends, Sex and the City is another. Just last night I caught a snippet of the first Sex and the City The Movie again on Sky Movies and always manage to lol (laugh out loud) at the scene where Carrie beats "Mr Big" on the head with her bridal bouquet. The first time I saw that scene I was saddened but each time after that it seemed hilarious.
What I like about Sex and the City is the glitz and glamour of the fashion personalities of the characters. The characters Samantha, Carrie, Miranda and Charlette are on the cutting edge of high fashion with their Prada accessories and Manolo shoes.
Samantha is the dramatic personality who loves to be noticed. She is a sensual dresser, likes architectural designs, bold prints, bright colours and statement jewellery. Any wonder that she is in P.R.
Carrie is very ecletic in her approach and for her anything goes. She is very versatile when it comes to dressing and can move from vintage to classic to dramatic in a heart beat. With Carrie it is all about the shoes and everything else is as fluid as her writing.
Miranda is your classic personality and dresses just as practically as the lawyer in her thinks. She chooses well cut suits and classic fashion that never goes out of style. Her only extravagance really is her bright red hair which in the last season have been matched up with quite a few colourful outfits.
And Charlotte, your romantic personality who longingly awaits her knight in shining armour and the whole nine yards. Charlotte the home maker and stickler for etiquette iis your Brie Van Der Kamp from Desperate Housewifes. She is the perfect hostess, always immaculately put together with frills and ruffles, paisley prints, gingham binding, sweetheart necklines and lots of skirts cut on the bias.

The trench coat - big trend for spring summer 2010
The trench coat, a military style jacket associated with investigative dramas and spy thrillers like Sherlock Holmes etc. should be on your hot list this spring summer. The trench is a classic coat that never goes out of style so you can consider it part of your capsule wardrobe. I love how it cinches at the waist to provide shape and structure or can be worn open for a more casual appearance.

With the trench coat being one of my must haves for this spring summer 2010, I have been doing a bit of window shopping online to see what I like. Here are some hot picks variations of the trench coat available on the high street in order of my favorites. I am in love with the first one, the black print wrap mac by Jaeger Square.
Print Wrap Mac, Black
flared jacket
trench coat, sand colour
classic double breasted trench coat
What did the catwalks have to offer in terms of trenches? Well Burberry, though last on the catwalk at London fashion week, led from the front with the trench coat trend. One guess as to the favorite colour for this trend. Yes neutral, neutral, neutral!!!!

Now that it looks as if the long bitter winter is behind us finally we can put away those woolly jumpers and thick winter coats and bring on the lightweight jackets and coats. I have had my suitcase of spring summer clothes in my bedroom for weeks waiting to clear our my winter wardrobe and bring out the summer clothing. I think I will be spring cleaning my wardrobe tonight.

Ethnic clothing spring summer 2010
There was a time when achieving the ethnic look meant exotic holidays in far away lands where you visited markets and bazaars and came away with the most unusual and treasured ethnic clothing and ethnic jewellery. When your friends asked you "where did you get that" you would be talking about your recent trek to the Caribbean or the asian or african continents. Now when people admire your ethnic accessories it is more common to mention an online boutique or quirky shop in the UK where such ethnic treasures can be found.
The catwalks have been doing ethnic fashion for ages through fashion trends like boho, folk, graphic, prints, hippy chic, neon colours, block colours etc. So how do you achieve the ethnic look? Like anything else to achieve the ethnic look you simply choose what works for you and if you are fashion conscious and are guided by what's hot on the catwalk then translate it into a wearable high street look as no doubt you may not be thinking of walking down the high street with tassels on your feet. Ethnic accessories are a great way to achieve that ethnic look without looking OTT (over the top).
Ethnic jewellery like copper necklaces, copper earrings can add loads of ethnic appeal to your outfit. So can handmade leather bags in unusual shapes and colours with unusual handles, beaded jewellery and colourful handmade leather sandals.

Scottish Scrapper Makes Headlines Again!
Only a week after being featured on Scottish Terrier & Dog News ~ Sprocket (aka The Scottish Scrapper or The White Tornado) is making headlines again! After a short, but speedy run in the backyard, Sprocket returned with a mysterious bloody gash under his left eye. After a trip to the neighborhood vet, he returned to his home with some medications and a staple under his eye. No comment has been made regarding the cause of the injury.According to Speck (Sprocket's older black coated sibling), "That dog has been getting into trouble since day 1! He will do anything to get attention!"

Happy Easter!
Hoping you are all having a wonderful Easter day! Here is a postcard and two advertising cards I picked up in the last month or two to celebrate the holiday. That's a cricket on that chick, not a cockroach, right?!
