A Very “SATC” Gift Guide
Decades after its debut and almost two decades since the OG series finale, Sex and the City still takes center stage in conversations and culture. Just this week, my mom and sister drew on SATC to decode our wedding style differences—I’m leaning into bold choices, embracing my inner "Carrie," while my sister, sticking to lovely neutral pastels, channeled her "Charlotte." We all blend traits from the diverse SATC squad, and that inspired me to turn their unique personas into a handy gift guide for the amazing women in your lives.
Naturally we must start with the iconic and inventive Carrie Bradshaw. “Carries” are the originals! They love special, rare pieces and are more likely to find things that dazzle them from an emerging designer or vintage market. Surprise your most adventurous friend with these unique and playful pieces that she actually may not already have in her closet.

“Charlottes”, our true classics, are thriving in the age of "quiet luxury." They’re all about timeless elegance and girlish details. Creatures of tradition, “Charlottes” cherish high-quality goods that stand the test of time, so don't skimp on these ladies! It's got to be something that radiates “I’m rich but in the old money way” and can be cherished for years.

“Samanthas” are the epitome of opulence, color, and glamour. They’re trendsetters who live for making a statement. Surprise your “Samantha” with something daring and luxurious – maybe a piece with bold prints, a standout accessory, or anything that screams confidence. Go big or go home, just like Samantha!

“Mirandas” are our practical trendsetters. They like things that are not just stylish but useful too. Yes, they are 100% those people who would have that multi-use, “ludicrously capacious” handbag that can carry “flats for the subway.” Since they have a more conservative approach to style, rich silks and gold accessories are always a win for gifting. And don’t forget some personalized work accessories for these busy power women!
