The Look For Less: Miranda Hobbes

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Miranda may have one of the most far fetched wardrobes in the Sex and the City movie, mainly because she's a working mother who wears super chunky earrings, but it's fantasy land right? And it's fashion fodder for us. This is more of a Fall look that seriously complements Miranda auburn coloring but without the hefty Charlotte Ronson sweater jacket is Summer ready. In the movie her brown dress is Natalie Eshkenasy, her gold t-straps are Oscar de la Renta and her Faboo patchwork bag is Stuart Weitzman. See, aren't you glad I found a much cheaper way to act the part of Miranda Hobbes?

The Look For Less: Miranda Hobbes

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:30:42 -0700

If you've seen the Sex and the City movie, you know that Cynthia Nixon's character, Miranda Hobbes, was leaps and bounds more stylish in the flick than she was in the show. Perhaps age made her fashion-wise or maybe Carrie's flair for style rubbed off on her. Either way, she left behind the pinstripe suits and busted out the chunky earrings, colorful frocks, and stilettos.

Fans will be thrilled to know that back by popular demand is the inexpensive Maggy London dress Miranda wore in one of the first scenes of the movie; she wore it with an Alexander McQueen bag, Gucci pumps and a vintage belt. Many of you expressed interest in the silky, mod dress and now it's yours.

Sex and the City: Miranda's Brooklyn Home

CasaSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 06:15:21 -0700

By now, I bet the majority of you have seen the Sex and the City movie, right? And if not, you've gotten a taste for the movie's fashion, as well as some of the interiors already. I recently got my hands on some stills from Miranda's Brooklyn house, and had to share them with all of you.
I honestly have to say that Miranda's home is probably my favorite in the entire movie, simply because it is the most real. Even though Miranda and Steve's house has great bones, as well as some lovely home accessories, it is a bit jumbled. And that's okay, because obviously Miranda's life is jumbled, too, what with a child, a full-time job, and other, um, complications that I won't share because I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't yet seen the film.

To see another photo, as well as to hear more about why I love Miranda's apartment, read more.

For instance, take a look at the handprints to the left of the fireplace in the first photo. Those prints tell a story that we, the audience, isn't privy to - it could represent a mischievous painting addition by Brady, or perhaps even a little midpainting make-out session between Steve and Miranda. I also love that many of Miranda's more reserved and uptight UWS apartment accessories can be spotted in the Brooklyn home, though now they are overwhelmed by Brady's gigantic stuffed animals.

I'm curious - did you like Miranda and Steve's Brooklyn home, or did you find it too "real" for the fantasy that is Sex and the City?

I Want This Wardrobe: Sex and the City Movie

What's better than Mexico? Why, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda in Mexico! Now if only they had filmed in Zihuatanejo during my trip. Oh well, next time. It's no surprise that the Fab four brightened the already-colorful background of their hot locale by wearing gorgeous swimsuits and cover-ups. Some of their outfit choices, mainly Samantha's, were too extreme for the average gal, but if you're a part of Sex and the City, you're anything but average. Oh, and if you want to know what they're cracking up about, go see the movie.

I Want This Wardrobe: Sex and the City Movie

In case you've been MIA, the whole Sugar gang finally saw the Sex and the City movie. But don't worry, I'm not going to utter a word about the story line. What I am going to open my trap about are the wardrobes of the fabulous foursome, courtesy of Patricia Field. Almost all of Carrie's outfits were dead on and gush worthy, but it was a little strange to see Miranda always dressed up and accessorized. I guess she's grown up and now appreciates fashion! Because I'm Fab, I was instantly able to identify what each character was wearing as soon as I saw it. Not! Let's just say I have friends in high places who were amazing enough to share their wealth of wardrobe knowledge. And what an excessive amount of wealth it is - dive in!

Charlotte York

White Dress and Shoes, Prada
Brown Quilted Bag, Chanel
Oversized Square Sunglasses, Salt Optical

Carrie Bradshaw

Ivory Suit, Ralph Lauren ($119)
Peep-Toe Shoes, Manolo Blahnik

Sex and the City Movie Tech: Miranda and Her BB

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 04:37:19 -0700

We're in the homestretch now of our Sex and the City Movie premiere, and I can honestly say, Christmas came early this year! We've already jogged our memories on tech from past seasons, and last week we learned about some of the gadget gear from the movie! So Samantha has an iPhone, Louise (Carrie's assistant, played by Jennifer Hudson) uses a Sidekick, and Carrie likes to mix it up between cell phones and pay phones.

And what about Miranda you ask? You'll find her with a BlackBerry 8700, which is kinda odd, considering there have been at least three new models out since they started filming!

Get the Look: Miranda Hobbes' Slick Upper West Side Home Part II

CasaSugar — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 05:59:33 -0700

If you read my first post on Miranda Hobbes' home, you're probably aching for more of that successful lawyer style. I'll show you how to get the look of the accents and lighting in her pad, when you read more

The Accents:
Pick some light, girly accents to add a feminine touch to the straight lines of the furniture. Miranda kept antique perfume bottles on her dresser, and chose sheer, airy curtains to let light into her big, pre-War apartment. Make sure to pick up a Starburst Mirror for above your mantle that's hard, sharp, and unusual like Miranda. Leave other decorative touches to a minimum, maybe just some vases, a bedside childhood portrait, and candles. Hang abstract black and white photo prints that are intriguing and sexy. Install clean and classical crown moldings. Purchase a Tibetan-inspired, somewhat mystical painting to hang in the dining room, and lay down a muted toned brocade rug.

The Lighting:
Let the light in with sheer curtains, so you cast soft shadows into the room. Pick a geometric lamp for your bedside table lamp, and put a tall, textured wooden floor lamp and a crystal sphere table lamp next to the couch. Hang boxy, rectangular white pendants over the dining room table-nothing fussy, it doubles as a workspace, remember?

Whatever you do, think conservative. Choose proportion over embellishment, and neatness over clutter like Carrie's creative crib. Choose products that are lean, simple, understated, and very well-made. This is, after all, the Upper West Side.

Get the Look: Miranda Hobbes' Slick Upper West Side Home Part I

CasaSugar — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 04:56:51 -0700

In honor of all of the recent Sex and The City buzz, I'm going to show you how to get the Miranda Hobbes' look in your city or country dwelling. Miranda was never my favorite Sex and the City character, but I did always appreciate her pretty slick pad. It was very sophisticated and appropriate for a successful New York woman, especially for a partner in a law firm. It was tough like her exterior front, but surprisingly soft and feminine like her maternal side.

The palette:
Keep your color scheme cool. Miranda's walls looked white, although they were actually lilac. If you've got wood floors, go for a dark stain and an ebonized finish. Select backsplash tiles in sage, burnt sienna, and Mediterranean blue.

The furniture:
Go for furniture with a straight, angular or edgy look, just like Miranda's personality. Try a coffee table with criss-crossed legs, and a Parsons Dining Table with mid-century influences that can double as a desk for a hard-working lawyer. Order a few T-shaped Bentwood Chairs with steel framework, and a basic, cream-colored couch. Be sure to select a steel bed frame with long lines, and a tubular shape. Just remember to keep it clean and simple. Spend big paycheck bucks on top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, and be sure to get a fancy coffee maker to keep you going.

Stay tuned to learn how to get the look of the accents and lighting in Miranda Hobbes home.
