No one would call me a fashionista. When deciding what to put on my feet, I'm going to go with the slip on flat sandals or a comfy pair of sneakers. Looking at at Manolo Blahnik shoes, my eyes say "pretty", but my feet say "ouch".
Reading about the world of fashion is much more fun. Before Sex and the City was a popular TV series, it was a book by Candace Bushnell based on her columns from the New York Observer. Some of the stories are told by Bushnell, some by her "friend" Carrie, but they all feature trendy New York lifestyles, with observations about dating and relationships. For instance, one friend attempts to impress a guy with her rollerblading skills, but ends up with a broken ankle! You'll recognize characters from Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha, to the marriage-phobic Mr. Big, Barkley the "modelizer", and many others. For fans of the HBO series, or if you enjoy books and movies like Bridget Jones's Diary or The Devil Wears Prada.
