Dresses

Last night, I attended a Sex and the City 2 fashion event at the Opus Hotel hosted by Vitamin Daily Vancouver’s Editor-in-Chief Sarah Bancroft. As SATC2 obsessives know, the white dress Carrie sports in the movie is a Halston Heritage design so fittingly, guests were treated to a Halston walk-through fashion show while nibbling tasty appies and sipping Skyy Vodka martinis. Though not specifically wedding wear, a few of the 70s- and 80s-inspired spring 2010 line would work well as guest attire for a casually chic outdoor wedding when styled with bolder accessories, a sparkly clutch, and strappy stilletos or wedges.

Halter necklines, drapey silk silouettes, jewel tones and exotic prints characterized the collection and made me want to hop on a plane to a tropic destination. My favourite was a turquoise blue and emerald green dress/blouse/cover up with an african-inspired print and embroidered detailing on the sleeves. I’m sorry to say I don’t have a photo of this piece!

Sex and the City 2 opened last night and the Halston Heritage collection can be found at select The Bay stores in BC: Mayfair, Oakridge, Park Royal, Richmond, Vancouver Downtown, and Victoria City Centre.
