Carrie and Big's apartment: design heaven

Not able to wait any longer, I went to see "Sex and the City 2" yesterday afternoon. And it was fabulicious! It exceeded all of my expectations, and went beyond that. Every single scene was an explosion of inspiration: from the clothes to the shoes, the colours and the luxurious over the top settings.

I was not so much impressed with the storyline (in the end there were some scenes that I even found a bit offensive - eventhough I am not a Muslim), but more so I was blown away by the interior design of Carrie and Big's appartment: design heaven! I tell you. I bet you agree with me: have a sneak peek.

Check out the blue tiles in the kitchen.
The incredible combination of different paterns and textiles. (The disc chandellier: Must have!)
Classic floral curtains (love the colour!) and club chairs
The all gold painting is amazing, and I love how the books are set standing on the coffee table. The Candy Flower rug and the Birdie Blossom cushion are actually available at The Rugcompany. See the wallpaper in the hall, every single room has it's own unique wallpaper. The real reason we all came to see the movie: Carrie's walk in closet!Just another evening at home with Mr. Big

More Sex, Less City

The beautiful SJP in Valentino Couture

This is how Style.com describes SATC the movie part deux. Like many many women I am also awaiting the worldwide release of the new SATC movie (and yes I do own the serie's dvd-box, and the first movie). Yesterday a lucky few attended the premiere of the sequel. The world-premiere of the second SATC took place in NYC (where else?), though the movie starts off with the four friends reuniting at Bergdorf’s in NYC the movie takes place in Abu Dhabi for the most part. Camel rides (Samantha: “I think I am having hot flashes.” Carrie: “We are in the desert, if you weren’t having hot flashes you’d be dead.”), luxury hotel settings, harem-inspired fashion, Carrie bumping into Aiden (Will she be cheating on Mr. BIG, who himself has a brief encounter with Penelope Cruz?), Samantha’s new love interest (yummie), just a tip of the sand dune. Just two more days and then we can all join in on the fun. The movie hits theaters worldwide on May 27th.
