We’ll have to wait a few more months until we get to see the celluloid fashion extravaganza that is Sex and the City 2, but if you cannot wait until May to get your Carrie fix, how about shopping her fantabulous wardrobe as a fill-in? Last September Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted strutting the streets of New York as Carrie Bradshaw in gold encrusted Louboutins, a delicate white v-neck dress by Halston Heritage with a gold Chanel box clutch and mirrored aviator sunglasses. SJP looked absolutely smashing, and from what I’ve seen up ’til now this is my favorite Carrie outfit from the movie. Film execs seemed to have been equally impressed with SJP’s resort look. Apparently so much they put it on the official movie poster. Me likey!

Judging by all the Balmain look-a-likes coming from the high street, Balmain is still the hottest brand in town. I seriously lost count on how many Balmain knockoffs I’ve already seen this year. While most designers moved on to “interpret” the Fall 2009 collection, you can still find an occasional homage to the rock’n'roll chick collection aka Fall 2008. The majority of this collection consisted of ultra-sexy mini dresses and I adored ALL of them, especially the LWD below.

Allen Schwartz White Draped Cocktail Dress
Thanks to Allen Schwartz you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the same sexy look à la Balmain. This white draped cocktail dress below which was exclusively designed by Allen Schwartz for Chickdowntown.com looks downright identical compared to the Balmain LWD and it can be yours for $290. If you prefer a different color, the dress comes also in black

I’m a sucker for white dresses. They are just perfect for summer and you’ll get an instant mood lift just from looking at them. When I first discovered this Marc by Marc Jacobs tiered halterneck dress I was madly in love.

We all first saw this dress on Blair Waldorf (aka Leighton Meester) in an episode of Gossip Girl called “Summer Kind Of Wonderful“. Leighton looked absolutely amazing and until today this look belongs in my top 3 of all her Gossip Girl outfits. Paris Hilton came second and British soap star Emma Rigby has worn this beautiful dress as well.

BB Dakota “The Sassy Dress”
I’v been looking for ages to find a knockoff dress of the Joelle dress and finally found it then on The Look 4 Less, but at the time I tried to place my order, it was already sold out. However, weeks later I now found the same dress on Karmaloop for $75. The BB Dakota knockoff dress might be missing the cute front-bow, but otherwise both dresses are practically identical.
To save even further, enter promo code TWIZZLER at checkout and you’ll get 15% OFF your order of $75 or more AND free shipping. Talk about a great deal!

I didn’t like too many pieces from Alexander Wang’s Fall 2009 collection, but the white dress below with its sexy asymmetrical details and the mesh sleeve definitely belongs to my favorites. The dress won’t be available for another few weeks, but there’s already a knockoff version floating around the internet.

Bebe One Shoulder Mesh Dress
If there’s one thing Bebe is particularly good in when producing knockoffs, then it’s picking up on trends before others. While their competitors are still trying to catch up on last season’s trends, Bebe is already producing knockoffs from next season. They last did that with a similar Alexander Wang LBD from the Pre-Fall 2009 collection and they did it again with yet another Alexander Wang mesh dress. Bebe’s knockoff version seems to be a hybrid between the Pre-Fall 2009 LBD and the dress above. The dress comes in black only and retails for affordable $49.
