Yes tomatoes.  Sex and the City fever is back with the latest installment featuring the gals on a fabulous Moroccan vacation in the Sex and the City 2 movie which opens in theaters everywhere this weekend. And while we love Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte, the real stars of the movie are the often over the top clothes, rumored to have cost $10 million. Yes - million!  So watch and drool at the parade of Chanels, Pradas, Diors, and Christian Louboutins, or laugh at some of the really over the top stuff.

 

But either way, it's great escapism from the economic realities most of us tomatoes are dealing with these days. But leaving aside the $200,000 necklaces, the $2,000 purses, and the $900 shoes, there are some great dresses and terrific sunglasses featured in the film, that are not totally out in the shopping stratosphere.  And if you like the look, you can usually shop it for less too.  So pour yourself a cosmo, and checkout a few highlights of some of the pieces we like. We've tracked down where to buy them too - maybe it's time for a little splurge?

 

 

Not a color combo we would imagine, but somehow, the look works on Carrie. And this cute and flirty Halston Heritage purple cocktail dress, while not for every tomato, can definitely work for tomatoes with good legs, and a young attitude. The dress is $435 and is available at stores like Neiman Marcus and, Bloomindales and online too. (At least until the movie comes out.) We love the $170 orange sunglasses too. And we have to say, Carrie's hot pink Christian Louboutin Sylvia HoBo bag is to die for -  as is the $1800 price tag, which would send Mr. Tomato into cardiac arrest as he strangled us for bringing this baby home.  But we did find a fun "sort of" look alike for $22.99. Get the details.
