Do you ever channel Carrie Bradshaw when picking out your outfit for the day or a special occasion? Can you relate to my dream of owning every single piece that Carrie Bradshaw ever owned?

I mean, talk about a fashion icon. Bradshaw even killed it in nothing but a blue jacket and rhinestone underwear for Dolce & Gabbana - something none of us could ever pull off.

And remember when Carrie spent $40,000 on designer shoes, but didn't have enough money to pay her rent? Yeah...not exactly a practical reality, but maybe a dream.

Carrie Bradshaw lives every young girl's dream life. She has an amazing closet, knows the most attractive guys in New York and has a dream job; although, I am not sure I would want to be a sex columnist, but maybe a journalist for a magazine, so kind of the same thing, right? Some days I feel like I am living her life when I'm sitting in my room writing my own blog posts.

As as result of my admitted "Carrie obsession," I have come to the realization that I have filled my camera roll full of screenshots of her outfits from over the years. Interestingly, her outfits from 15 to 20 years ago always seem to include something that is a current fashion trend and other staple pieces.

I am not sure I would buy any of these pieces at the designer prices Carrie would pay, but plenty of stores sell these five fashion trends that Carrie predicted for more reasonable prices. Check out the items below and see how many you currently have in your closet.


1. Oval tinted sunglasses

Go to any accessory store and try not to find a pair of these glasses. You will not be able to do it. Ranging in prices from $5 to upwards of $200, you can easily find and add this trademark of Carrie's style to your look.

2. Square neck strappy dresses

Flattering on many different body types, the square neck strappy dress is a favorite among college girls who need an outfit for a sorority semi formal or a night out with friends.

3. Lace-up shoes

These shoes are literally everywhere. From high heels to platforms and flats, the lace-up trend is hot right now. You can dress them up or down. Carrie was spot on when predicting this trend.

4. Oversized tops

Oversized tops as dresses or with leggings, you really cannot go wrong. Just be sure to belt it just like Carrie to keep it on trend.

5. Circle belts

Investing in a well-made neutral circle belt may be one of your wisest choices. Carrie helped to make these belts a timeless trend.

The bottom line is when it comes to fashion, sometimes the best inspiration comes from a fashion icon from the past. Carrie Bradshaw's fashion influence began 20 years ago and her fashion choices are honestly just as relevant today as they were back then.

Now, who's up for a "Sex and the City" reunion?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
