bringing sexy back

ahhh, i just came home from watching "sex and the city" the movie. i remember back in the days when it aired on HBO, my roomie and i would stay home to watch it and giggle like school girls when some overly explicit visuals were shown. gawd, has it been over 7 years now since i first watched it?! it must be right? then again, my years are blurring together as i lose myself in the land of ageless denial :)

watching the movie was like watching old friends. i thought when the series ended, it left without a proper goodbye. the two big questions were 1) what's going to happen to carrie and her relationship with "mr. big" and 2) charlotte's adoption of a chinese girl...i was so curious about that!

wonder no more! this movie exceeded my expectations. it was fun, fashionably fabulous, humorous, and a tear jerker. it really is the quintessential chick flick. and the bags! wow. you know i'm a bag dork, but seriously, i always like checking out people's bags and the movie had some fabulous ones. chanels were definitely represented. i recognized many of the bags in the movie and that cracked me up...good gawd i'm a bit obsessed. here's a few bags that i saw...would you like to go on a bagnatic journey with me?

charlotte carried this chanel chain trim purse in white. it should be at the beginning of the movie.

charlotte also carried this chanel washed calfskin tote in beige at the beginning of the movie. she's carrying it in that group picture at the top.

in carrie's closet (when she was talking to her assistant), a chanel smocked effect stictching bag in coral (orangeish-red) was peeking from a shelf.

carrie toted this chanel mesh bag in gold messenger style near the end of the movie. it is so cute!

here's the lv moutard firebird bag that carrie gave to her assistant (jennifer hudson) as a christmas gift. fugly.

carrie also carried a really cute hermes birkin in green.

lastly, carrie also toted this ysl raspail painted canvas in brown...i believe it was the ysl version even though a designer named momo tried to bite it.

so as my brain soaked in the storyline and the emotions that were evoked by the movie, my bag brain was scouting out the bags. there's a few chanels that i did not include here. ahhaha, i think this is enough bag fodder for your eyes...i need to go to sleep!

kim cattrall (samantha) once stated in an interview that:

"The show is a valentine to being single. ... Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you; now it means you're pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life to be...and who you want to spend it with."

i think it's sexy when as a woman, you have your shit together. cheers friends, to having your shit together. word.
