SARAH JESSICA PARKER
In this business called fashion, designers will come and go; some get their 5 minutes of fame, while others are here to stay, and still there are those that have the creativity to start, and the tenacity to make a wow-worthy reappearance. We here at Joonbug have found a few of our favorites that have made names for themselves in the past, and come back to remind us why we loved them so much to begin with!
Manolo Blahnik’s kitten heels are back for this spring with stylish celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker making their rounds in NYC to collect as many pairs as they can get their hands on! Yes, Manolo Blahnik has grace us with the classic pointed toe heel presence for years, however, it has been a while since we have seen much from him and this season he’s coming back with a double whammy. His collaboration with J. Crew for Fall 2012 was definitely a great way to get back into the mix with the classic pumps in great fabrics. Next on the list is Hong Kong’s luxury retailer, Lane Crawford where vintage shoes by Manolo Blahnik that date all the way back to 1974 will be part of an exclusive collection at the retailer including his notorious Mondrian pumps, and lace-up booties.
The Carrie Bradshaw fairytale has come to an end. Author, Candace Bushnell, 53, famous for Sex and the City, has filed for divorce from her husband Charles Askegard, 43, after 9 years of marriage. This is probably pretty disappointing news for all the Sex and the City fans who dream of worldwide success and finding love forever with their perfect "Mr. Big" in NYC.
The divorce was confirmed by Bushnell's representatives and papers were filed last Friday, according to The Daily Mail. Bushnell stated 'We had some wonderful times in our nine-year marriage, and I still care about Charles as a person. I respect his desire to pursue his own happiness and hope that we will continue to be friends in the future.'
Becoming a fashion icon requires a certain je ne sais quoi. Understanding what looks good, what looks great, and what looks awe-inspiring takes an innate style that can only come from years of careful curation.

Well, they tend to become superstars in their own right. Here's a look at (just a few) of the greatest style icons from the last five decades and what you can learn from each of them to take your personal style to new heights.
Looking into another person’s life can sometimes be intoxicating.

And here for you, is a look into the decadent sanctuaries of some of the hottest stars in NYC.

Join the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker and her Tony Award toting hubby, Matthew Broderick, for a night of sophisticated fun and exploration. Taking place at the awe-inspiring Museum of Natural History, this charity soiree is like a childhood fantasy come to life. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Friends In Deed, an esteemed non-profit organization that focuses on emotional and spiritual healing of those affected by fatal illnesses (whether victim or loved one). So attending this once in a lifetime experience will not only be exciting, it’ll also be rewarding because you’re helping a great cause.
Sugar, spice, and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. That, and an infallible ability to fake anything. We've made faking it such a precise science that we can now effortlessly fake our hair colors, skin tones, bra sizes, and even one other thing we need not mention. Any true betch knows that to really get ahead, she's gotta fake it til she makes it. But, the age old question still lingers: how do we show off our amazing style and appease our affinity for extremely expensive designer duds when we're ballers on budgets?
Could it be? Imagine how Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, & Samantha were in their high-school/college years?
As the color blocking trend has continued to grow, it's hard to tell how long it will actually last. It's also hard to tell how many new trends will emerge from the original trend itself. It's very rare to see micro trends emerge from seemingly temporary trends, but from color blocking, we've already seen 'same color, different shade,' purple and orange combos, and now, the ever-dreaded pink and red!
At the premiere of the much anticipated Friends With Benefits, established starlet and rising fashionista Emma Stone donned a Giambattista Valli ensemble and nude Louboutin pumps.
Blessed with a whirlwind movie career, an unbelievable business swagger, and a sense of style so iconic she'll go down in fashion history among the likes of Coco Chanel and Jackie O, Sarah Jessica Parker can do it all. An accomplished actress from a young age, Parker is best known for her role as "Carrie Bradshaw" on Sex and the City, the hit TV series turned movie sequel, where she also served as executive producer.
Former president and chief creative officer for Halston Heritage (reports just surfaced that she will no longer be associated with the company), Golden Globe winner, Emmy winner, UNICEF representative, and former Gap spokeswoman make up a mere fraction of her credentials list. She also has a fragrance brand that grosses seven-figures a year as well as a clothing brand. If that weren't enough, Monolo Blahnik has named a shoe after her, the SJP.
Popular among celebrities such as Rachel Bilson, Jessica Biel, Drew Barrymore, and Sarah Jessica Parker, ombre haircolor is a great way of achieving a sun-kissed look without the typical maintenance and on-going bleaching/damage to your hair. If you're looking to go lighter for summer but are burned out on typical highlights or aren't quite ready to take the plunge into blonde-land, opt for ombre. The look is both gorgeous and low maintenance.
