curious birds: livin' in a movie

i get style inspiration from all over. people i see on the streets, all of you, magazines, tv and movies. i got to thinking last night about some of my favorite movies. when i was in my pre-teens, i wanted to be molly ringwald in every movie she was in. i also wanted to be madonna in desparately seeking susan, audrey hepburn in just about anything, and of course i wanted to pull off the leg warmers and off-the-shoulder sweatshirt look of jennifer beals in flashdance. i could go on forever. to this day, i still want to dress like so many movie characters. (i also want to wake up and have perfect hair and makeup like they do.) i actually used to practice "pretty sleeping" when i was a kid...i would spread my hair across the pillow in an oh-so-pretty way and gracefully close my eyes. i thought i looked like a princess. but we all know that real sleeping beauties probably have their mouths wide open, a little drool on their cheek, and let out a few startled snorts every once in a while. no? is that just me?

anyways, i couldn't quite decide which movie closet i would choose if i had to pick just one. most likely one of the sex and the city movies. i mean, who doesn't want patricia field designing their outfits? but it changes as time goes by. here are a few of my favorites.

while i loved samantha's style, i think i loved jake ryan even more. and my favorite style (aside from ducky's shoes) would have to be iona.

there are so many possibilities, i could go on and on. but like i said, if i had to pick one, i would have to go with the easy choice...sex and the city.

i go back and forth between miranda and carrie's wardrobe. since this isn't real, and i don't really get either, i will choose both!

so how about you? if you could choose any movie to live your fashionable life in, what movie would you choose?
