The other day I went to Steve & Barry’s for the first time, where they were having this enormous sale and everything was $8.95 or less. How amazing is that?! What’s even better is that Sarah Jessica Parker’s line, Bitten, has really great jeans that actually fit — they’re the right length and everything, which is a mission when you’re vertically challenged, like me. Anyway, I also found this really cute, short trench, which is also a great fit…and, of course, inexpensive.

I like the combination of a super classy dress with a not-so-dressy trench, and I’m smitten with this simple, black modal dress by 525 America.

Okay, and this is kind of awkward but apparently Carlos Santana is now designing shoes, and they’re pretty sexy. Yes, I just used the name “Santana” and the word “sexy” in the same sentence. Can’t help it, though, because this shoe is really really pretty, and perfect for this outfit.

I cried when the last episode of Sex and the City aired. There was no better Sunday night ritual than sitting down and watching all the gorgeous clothing shape the stories of Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte, and Carrie. So I guess when Sarah Jessica Parker decided to launch her own clothing line, everyone (me included) thought that she would do something high end and wild. But, while Sarah Jessica agrees with Carrie Bradshaw that fashion is a necessity in keeping women feeling good about themselves, she has reminded the world that she isn’t Carrie by creating a line that is sophisticated, yet tamed down and totally wearable, and more importantly, inexpensive.

Bitten is sold at Steve and Barry’s, and nothing in the line is over $20. I particularly love the fact that all of the pieces have a great fit, particularly the dresses. And not to stray too much, but the line also features an adorable houndstooth coat, which I can’t pass up.

Although I love the line, I do still find myself longing for the days of crazy-tutu-and-Manolo-Blahnik-wearing Sarah Jessica, I suppose that was Carrie Bradshaw, really. But it looks like we’re going to get lucky and have a dose of her, as well, since the Sex and the City movie is set to start filming next month. Yay!
