Retail Remedy: It's time for a day of pretty things! Have you ever had one of those Mercury in retrograde days where the only viable solution to finding joy is, well, SHOES! Yup, and pretty, girly, sexy, feminine shoes like the new Sarah Jessica Parker SJP line that launches exclusively at Nordstrom on February 28. When the tech got tricky, I got going to discover the adorable candy-colored pop-up Sarah Jessica Parker SJP shoe store in SoHo where Sarah Jessica was hosting a private preview of her collection. Everything was feminine and classic Sex and the City, brought up to a modern beat. SJP herself was chicly holding court around her very Carrie-esque collection.

I'll Have What She's Having: Shazam, I have it already! Everyday style inspiration by way of Sarah Jessica Parker, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba and Katherine Heigel You gotta love the headline, "Celebrities in jeans looking normal" because rather than oohing and ahhing about a fantasy gown or talking about their bodily (im)perfections, let's look at what celebrities wear when they are just being normal. Duhhh, it looks a lot like us. >> MORE: Jeans See, it takes some tzuj to get all aspirational and starlike. During the day, while running errands, having Mommy time, or simply working from home, these "big" names look pretty dang normal. Doesn't that make you feel better?

I'll Have What She's Having: Pale colors that don't wash out Almost always dressed to the nines in the most refined of uptown finery, Sarah Jessica Parker took a more demure route while attending the launch of Valentino's Virtual Museum in New York City and looked all the more radiant for it. MORE: Sarah Jessica Parker It's been a while since we've seen her let that stuffy undo she's been donning as of late down, but more so, it's her overall toned down look that really works for us. In a graphic dreamy floral vintage Pauline Trigère dress topped with a pale pink Valentino coat, she looks more approachable and less precious. And paired with classic yet ladylike sateen Manolo Blahnik

Help, I'm a celebrity and I'll wear anything for attention! I'm sorry, but in my opinion, you really MUST be a fashion victim to find these "lion paw" shoes remotely attractive. We're not really fans of designer damning around here, but these Christian Louboutin "Alex" pumps are for the birds. People see doctors to cure themselves of this First, Sarah Jessica Parker sported them in Moscow this summer and now Blake Lively is wearing them on the set of Gossip Girl. All I can say is that it's the one year anniversary of my foot surgery and I don't even think my feet looked that bad post op. RadarOnline says they cost about $5,000.... Would you wear these? >> SHOP: Animal Prints

In the wake of Kim Kardashian's divorce announcement and her pr-powered mega wedding event, one has to wonder how her divorce will impact the way consumers see her brand. Could this possibly be the beginning of the end on fashion and beauty products built on celebrity brand power? Let's think celebrity products- does it really ever work? Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Simpson , The Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez, The Olsens, and The Housewives franchise... love their products or leave them? I need to address this subject; as much as I love Sarah Jessica Parker's, her Bitten line has long bit the dust, as has her days at Halston Heritage. Is there really a market for fans to

I'll Have What She's Having: Easy, breezy summer animal prints that don't wear you I've always been a fan of wearing animal prints, be it leopard, chetah, zebra, or some amalgamated whozeewhat animal pattern. The thing is that when wearing something as bold, and often daring, as an animal print, if you don't style it correctly, you can look like the crazy cat lady rather than exotically chic. >> SHOP: Animal Prints We all know that Sarah Jessica Parker can be a risk-taker when it comes to her style and Dolce & Gabbana is known for their signature leopard prints. Put the two together, and here you have a very stunning, surprisingly simple and elgant take on walking on the
