LOVE: Sex & The City Giveaway Winner

Posted in By Em, LOVE by styleinspades on April 13, 2010
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Sex & The City On Location Tours giveaway. Last Wednesday I asked who everyone’s favorite Sex & The City character is and received some great answers; Samantha’s poodle, Carrie’s apartment, and Anthony Marantino are a few that stick out in my mind…
.
The winner has been chosen and here is her response (sent via email):

.

Hello Em and Sara!
I’ve just moved to New York City from Sydney and I would LOVE to enter the Sex and the City Set Location Tour giveaway! My absolute favorite character of Sex and the City is Stanford Blatch. Not only is he always styled in spades, he’s the show’s fabulous fifth lady!
Thanks so much, and keep up the awesome work at Style In Spades
.

.

Congratulations “S.” (I feel so Gossip Girl right now), enjoy the tour!
^Carrie & Stanford

Louis Vuitton is hitting the magazines…hard. Clémence Poésy wears a Louis Vuitton skirt on the cover of Tatler Magazine. Meanwhile, Amanda Seyfried and Leighton Meester both wear the same neon yellow dress for Glamour. Amanda for Glamour UK and Leighton for the US version.

Whatever, I don’t mind the LV OD, I love that skirt and insanely bright dress. And now, because I can…more Leighton:
