The sandal is in the process of a style evolution. It began with the gladiator sandal -- when we first saw it a season or two (or three?) ago, it really seemed hard to wear. It was clunky and not terribly feminine, but now, of course, we love it. And so it's time to move on to the next stage.

More and more celebrities are sporting sexy sandals with a lot more material across the front than we were previously used to. Case in point: The Christian Dior Extreme Cutout Sandal, which was Carrie Bradshaw's shoe of choice in the SATC movie (and costs, depending on the material, $750 to $1000 or more).

Although we're loving summer at the moment, our fashion-forward minds are already getting excited about cool weather and hot fall trends. After all, who doesn't love shopping now for items you can't wear for three more months?

It goes without saying that some of the styles we saw in the Sex and the City movie should come with a "Don't try this at home" warning, and when we first saw these over the knee argyle socks (available for $14 at PatriciaField.com) on Carrie, we thought they were a prime example. But something made us take another look. And another. And, all of a sudden, we kind of love them.

Patricia Field is a busy, busy woman. She has deals with Payless and Marks and Spencer, and now she can add another notch to her surely fabulous belt -- the Home Shopping Network.

You might be curious as to why the Sex and the City movie needs a book. It's as much about the fashions as it is about the plot, so what's there to read, right? Well, let us tell you -- a lot.

We received a copy of Sex and the City: The Movie from our friends at Harper Collins, who warned us that the book gives away the plot, so to be sure to see the movie first. This was totally true, so consider yourself warned.

Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte in Sex and the City, is launching her own clothing line with Belk.

Now, why would Kristin choose to launch a line at Belk, rather than Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, or one of the other higher end department stores? She has a very personal reason: "I grew up shopping at Belk. It was the nicest store we had, and I'd save my allowance to go to Belk."

We love the fact that Jennifer Hudson is voluptuous and totally confident in showing off her curves. And we know she worked right along side Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex and the City movie, so is SJP to blame for Jennifer flashing her bright pink bra at the MTV Movie Awards? SJP's hubby, Matthew Broderick probably thinks so.


In fact, he blames his fashion icon wife (and her most famous character, Carrie Bradshaw) for the trend of women showing off their sexy lingerie in public. But, back to the matter at hand -- Jennifer Hudson's bra. How do you feel about this look?

A few weeks ago, we asked for your submissions for StyleList's ultimate Sex and the City fan quiz. You responded and now those questions, along with some other great brain-teasers, are in the final quiz, available now!

So grab a cosmo and sit back and test your SATC knowledge!

For anyone who needs a SATC cram-session before taking the quiz or watching the movie, the complete series is now available on iTunes. The Sex and the City movie opened this past weekend.

How many times have you watched Sex and the City and thought, "Boy, I'd love wear clothes like that with as much chutzpah as (insert favorite SATC gal here), but I don't even know where to begin!"? It can be intimidating to go shopping on your own when you're looking for a signature style, whether it's your very own or "borrowed" from your favorite SATC character.

Tobi.com wants to make it a little easier for you to dress with serious style. They offer a personal stylist feature that will give you the guidance you need to dress like Carrie, Miranda, Samantha or Charlotte. If you're still not sure, check out our gallery to see some of their suggestions for character-based ensembles.

High heels are sexy -- no doubt. However, if you're not walking in them properly, the sexiness of the shoe won't matter -- everyone will be watching you and betting on how long it will take before you wipe out. Or, they'll be laughing at how awkward, clumsy, and out of place you look.

But wait! Don't put your stilettos in storage! We can help you look like you belong with the cast of Sex and the City. Check out the gallery for tips on how to walk in high heels like Carrie Bradshaw (plus, you can check out some really cute shoes!).

(Disclaimer: The end of the video is selling a Legwork video, which we're sure is fine, but that's totally not why we put the video on here -- it's just a short, cool little video showing how to walk in heels. Promise!)

Many of us have wondered just how much promotion it takes to make people sick of a movie before it's even released. Well, now we're finding out. The hype over the new Sex and the City movie has reached such outrageous proportions that it's now making headlines for how sick of hearing about it people are -- that includes people who are excited about seeing it on the big screen.

The current issue of Time Out New York is boycotting the whole thing entirely. That's right, they're putting out an issue that guarantees to be SATC-free. Apparently, as bad as we've been getting the SATC buzz, NYC is getting it way harder. In fact, tourists are crowding into all kinds of locations mentioned in the show. Will the movie live up to its hype and anti-hype? Reviewers at the premiere in Paris gave it 2 stars out of 5. So, hmm.

Have you been marking off the days on your calendar? We are getting closer to the SATC premiere, and here at StyleDash, we couldn't be more excited! We've been raiding our closets, trying on our most outrageous Carrie-riffic outfits, and, of course, shoe shopping in preparation for the Big Premiere.

What about you? What have you done to prepare? Have you submitted a question for the SATC fashion quiz? Do you have your outfit, shoes, and accessories picked out? Have you been watching reruns back to back to absorb every last delicious, fashionable drop of the series?

StyleList has a simpler question in their current poll: Are you excited about the Sex and the City movie? Head on over and cast your vote!

Here at StyleDash, we couldn't be more excited about Sex and the City: The Movie, which is coming to theaters at the end of the month (29 days and counting!). StyleList is also ready to be "Carried Away" -- in fact, they are putting together the ULTIMATE Sex and the City FAN quiz and they need your help!

Just submit your best SATC brain-teasers in the comments. If your question is selected, your name and, if you choose to leave it in the comment, the city you are from will appear in the final quiz that will debut on StyleList just in time for the May 30 premiere.

Sample Question:
How much money has Carrie spent on shoes? -- Christina W., Atlanta

Take a look at StyleList's Sex and the City Fashion quiz for some ideas, or to sharpen up on your own SATC trivia.

(The answer to our sample question, by the way, is over $40,000 -- as Carrie said, upon realizing she couldn't buy an apartment because of her footwear addiction, "I will literally become the old woman who lived in her shoes.")

Are you a Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha or Miranda? Now you'll be able to take the obsession with your favorite Sex and the City character one step further -- by wearing their underwear.

Not the Underoos worn by the actresses playing the characters (that'd be creepy), but rather lingerie inspired by those fictional divas, created by the Italian fashion house Cosabella. The line, which is set to hit stores when the film is released this Spring, will have a group for each of the leading ladies -- so you can wear a Samantha set when you're feeling like a vixen, a Charlotte set when you're feeling cutesy, etc.

I'm still waiting for the line of SATC boxer shorts for guys, inspired by Mr. Big. Something tells me I shouldn't hold my breath.
