After seeing Sex and the City 2 this weekend with my girl gang I came away from the weekend in massive shopping mode. While my love of the first movie was no where near touched by the second installment, Carrie's clothes still lived up to the SATC standard.

Straight From SATC 2 Movie Closet, to Yours!

Here are some more fun things to buy that are SATC chic. Some of these items are straight out of the movie, like the fabulous Rodrigo Otazu bronze and glass pearl necklace shown on Carrie. Or the flashy glam goddess golden Mykita & Bernhard 'Franz' sunglasses that Carrie pairs with her white Halston dress.

Sex and the City 2, SATC swag 2 by shoplikeshannon 

The adorable pale pink 'Carrie' Foldable After Party flats may not be Manolo's, but they are definitely perfect for running around the streets of NYC with your girlfriends. I'm also in love with the SATC Reusenik Drycleaning Bag mostly because I love the quote that it displays,“I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.”

And while I heavily favor Ms. Bradshaw as my favorite lady from the Fab-4, this adorable apron that Charlotte has on in all the trailers is just too cute for words. The Baker's Delight apron from anthropologie is covered in "dozens upon dozens of cherry-topped cupcakes are sure to please sweet-tooth chefs and their pastry-craving guests."

And if you are looking for something slightly more affordable check out the great look for less 4-Leaf Clover Necklace by Payless; inspired by "The Lucky Charm" Clover Necklace by SATC 2 stylist Patricia Field.

Sex and the City 2 Inspired Jewlery by Dogeared

It's almost time for SATC 2 girls. While I did love the first movie, I'm not entirely optimistic about the second one. I have a few concerns. I'm sure there will be tons of sex, I'm just hoping that we aren't lacking the city. A Moroccan vacation, eh. Maybe. I truly hope HBO proves me wrong.

Don't you worry though, what I'm lacking in excitement for the movie itself I am surely making up for in my love of SATC themed swag that has descended upon us like a plague.
What I'm really excited about at the moment are these adorable SATC inspired Dogeared necklaces. I've been a massive Dogeared fan for years, so I'm excited to see them push even further into the mainstream market.
