Whether you like her or not, the name Carrie Bradshaw is
synonymous with fashion. Whilst Sex and the City ended almost 9 years ago and
the brands last movie was a huge disappointment to say the least, the CW's
latest offering 'The Carrie Diaries' more than makes up for it (at the same
time filling a large Gossip Girl shaped hole in our lives). Based on Candace
Bushnell's best selling prequel the series, set in the 80's, follows a 16 year
old Carrie Bradshaw during her junior year at high school. Whilst a teenage
Carrie obviously has less access to the high end designers we saw her wear in
the original HBO series, her closet is as covetable as ever, perhaps more so
due to the fact that a large part of her wardrobe is filled with pieces
available on our high street stores today.
Even though our high street faves Topshop, Marc by Marc Jacobs
and Forever 21 all appear, you couldn't miss the fact that the stylists have
chosen H&M as their retailer of choice whilst styling the young fashion
icon. Episode two saw Carrie, played by AnnaSophia Robb, wearing a number from
the brands Trend Collection and Episode three saw her wearing a pink and silver
jumper from the Swedish retailers everyday concept. Whilst neither pieces are
available online, both are still available in store - both priced at £24.99.
Our favourite piece so far, however, has to be this digital print dress, also
from the Trend Collection, which bears an uncanny resemblance to those shown by
Mary Katrantzou. Whilst the piece is no longer available in store you can still
purchase it on ebay.
