The young Carrie Bradshaw

I would like to start off by saying…. THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY! On top of that, (T)his (G)irl (I)s (F)abulous!! ----> ANNA SOPHIA ROBB


This Marc Jacobs sweater took a class in optical illusions. Robb keeps chic and sweet with a Jennifer Behr headband. 
Mixing verticals and horizontals with Marc Jacobs sweater and skirt. Sixties throwback meets the new millennium with metallic Jimmy Choo shoes. 



Robb goes classic retro in a Louis Vuitton top and miniskirt. Embellished with a girl’s best friend necklace, from Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co., of course.

          Okay, so if you have not heard of the new "dramedy" series on CW, "The Carrie Diaries," it is actually a prequel of "Sex and the City." Fan or not of the SATC, "The Carrie Diaries" is worth watching on its own merit. It's clever, entertaining, charming, and just magnifique! 

Anna Sophia, (from "Soul Surfer") plays the roll of young Carrie Bradshaw in a 1984 scene in Connecticut. She is 16-years-old, who is living with her widowed, loving, and quite overprotective father; and younger sister, Doritt - completely opposite from Carrie. Her father, with the connections he has in Manhattan, helped Carrie get into an internship at a law firm. This is when she quickly fell in love with the city. The city - with its own world full of fun, stylish, free, and open-minded people, Carrie knew she belonged. While juggling school, dating the cutest boy, trying to get through the internship to earn her a school credit, being a good daughter and sister, she also has three dedicated best friends who are there with her as she is trying to find herself. 
  Although it is acclaimed to be a teen and young adult soap, after watching the first episode I could not wait for the second one to air. The 80's music, art, and fashion they portrayed made me feel nostalgic in a way. I was intrigued by the love and fervor she had for fashion at a young age - something I can absolutely relate to. 
  Carrie and her sister fought over who should keep the purse that their mother, who recently passed away, left behind. After noticing that Dorrit accidentally splattered nail polish on it, Carrie had a choice to either let it go - or make it something of her own. She hastily turned the purse into life by adding a few touches of other colored nail polish; and finishing it off with her name. Larissa, who she met right away on her first day in Manhattan, is the fashion editor at Interview Magazine - and wanted nothing but to feature Carrie's purse in a photo shoot. Carrie's dreams were coming into reality. 
  If you missed the first two episodes, you can watch it online on this link: 
Quote of the day: “The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you’ve got to have a good spirit on the inside. That’s what’s really going to make you look like you’re ready to rock the world.”
—Alicia Keys

Until next time!
