Fashion Pop Culture Iconic Films.. and a show!
The Devil Wears Prada
"Florals? For Spring..? Groundbreaking" Back in the Summer of 2006, the world was blessed with the movie adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel about her experience as an assistant for one of the worlds most famous women, Anna Wintour. The movie follows recent graduate Andi Sachs through her tumultuous career trajectory at Runway, the worlds top fashion magazine, and also a poke to Vogue. Follow along as I dissect what makes the film so iconic, and the impact it had on both the fashion and film industry.
Confessions of a Shopaholic
"Credit cards? Maxed out? How original." Back in 2009, audiences were introduced to Confessions of a Shopaholic, the glitzy, chaotic, and utterly relatable adaptation of Sophie Kinsella’s bestselling novel. The film follows Rebecca Bloomwood — a shopping-obsessed journalist drowning in debt but dreaming of working at her favorite fashion magazine. Armed with her iconic green scarf and endless optimism, Becky learns that sometimes the best accessory is a little financial responsibility (and maybe true love). Join me as I dive into the irresistible charm, colorful chaos, and lasting cultural footprint of this fashion-forward rom-com classic.
How to lose a guy in 10 days
"Dating? Easy. Just be yourself — and then sabotage it." Back in 2003, rom-com lovers were treated to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the deliciously chaotic battle of the sexes starring Kate Hudson as Andie Anderson, a magazine writer on a mission to drive a man away for a week-and-a-half — and Matthew McConaughey as Ben Barry, an ad exec betting he can make any woman fall in love with him. Sparks fly, schemes unravel, and somewhere between intentional onion-breath faux pas and staged arguments, fake plans start feeling dangerously real. Come along as I unpack the witty one-liners, the chemistry that made it a staple of early-2000s pop culture, and why this rom-com still feels like mandatory viewing for anyone who’s ever mixed up a strategy and a soulmate.
Sex and The City
Shopping for labels, shopping for love. Sex and The City premiered in the late 1990s, and follows 4 best friends, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate their love lives, friendships, and careers in New York City. At the center, is Carrie Bradshaw, a sex columnist who turns her romantic misadventures into some of Manhattan's most iconic musings - flanked by Miranda’s razor-sharp realism, Charlotte’s hopeful romanticism, and Samantha’s unapologetic fabulousness. Friendships deepen, heartbreaks pile up, Friendships deepen, heartbreaks pile up, and somewhere between late-night cab rides and brunch-fueled debriefs, the city itself becomes the fifth main character. Come along as I dive into the killer outfits, the era-defining one-liners, and why this series still feels like required viewing for anyone who’s ever chased love, identity, or a dream — in heels.
