G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S.

I've never had a proper icon; no one I looked up to, no one I aspired to be like..not a celebrity or a family member. Which is rather ironic considering I try to be like everyone except myself.
But as 'Sex and the City' was recently fully introduced to me by my mum, (the books, the series, the movies) I immediately fell in love with the lifestyle of Carrie Bradshaw.

I've always loved the glitz and glamour but I've never stopped to consider how people ended up like that. I thought people were just born into it but Carrie is a great example of someone who wasn't. She started in a small town, just like any other teenage girl, and made it to the big apple all by herself. Obviously some of it was down to who she met along the way but nevertheless she became a style icon of Manhattan.
I know she's just a fictional character but through all her typical teenage blunders and embarrassments, which are so relatable, she seems so real and genuine! I also realise this it's all fictional story lines, just like any other idealistic film or series, but with Sex and the City none of it actually seems too far away from what one of our lives could actually be like.
