Be honest: Do you ever really get sick of playing the "Which Sex And The City Woman Am I?" game? I used to be mostly Carrie, with a healthy dose of Charlotte and a nice dash of Samantha thrown in for spice. Now that I'm married, I'd say there's been an in increase in the Charlotte factor. I could go on...and I suspect that you could too.

Luckily, the mastermind behind the women's astonishing, character-defining fashions for the SATC series and the movie (as well as The Devil Wears Prada and many other hits), Patricia Field, has brought that level of chicness off the screen and, possibly, into your closet. And I got to meet with her! Now, I ask you: what does one wear for something like that? Answer: A Corey Lynn Calter "painted" blue dress. She liked it. It will now be in heavy rotation.

In a super short mini dress that showed off her flawless legs, Field was so nice and very thoughtful about her new one-off collection, Destination Style New York for HSN (buy items from this collection here). It's comprised of 50 pieces, and yes, each one evokes one of the characters. So if you're feeling a little bit more Miranda-esque today, no problem. The average price is -- get this -- only $75. And pieces come in sizes 2-16.



So what does Fields think is coming up next in the world of fashion? "Things are going to get sleeker, like Halston-era '70s with lots of solid color jerseys," she said (as I mentally prepared my next shopping must-haves).

Also: "Accessories, like gloves and hats, and leg adornments of all kinds. Things we haven't ever seen." She added: "Everything's getting simpler, so it's the person you see, not the embellishments on their clothes." Nice!

And what trend does she think is O-V-E-R? "Statement necklaces." From the lips of the Goddess of Style straight to your ears, you heard it here first.
