Pat Field is seriously doing an affordable line for the Home Shopping Network? Did we just die and go to heaven? Apparently we did because, as we reported last month in an exclusive interview, the legendary redheaded Sex and the City stylist is hosting on HSN from September 23 – 27. Field will be handing out free fashion advice and letting us in on her life as a celebrity stylist.

HSN is taking preorders right now so we're guaranteeing it will be slim pickins by the time Pat actually hits airwaves. But even if the collection is sold out, we're still going to tune in because tips from Pat are invaluable. And if they're free, we'll take em!

As Patricia Field predicted in our last chat (because we just go ON like BFFs do), legwear is where it's at. And it's not just some dumb trend. How's this for functional: These Legwarmer Boots from Hollywould (Eva Longoria is a devoteeof the brand) have a removable upper shaft, so when you want a full, to-the-knee look, you're good to go. But when you'd rather rock a short bootie, you've got that too.

Two looks in one is so utilitarian you'd think they'd be, well, not hot. But they are gorgeous. And therefore a good investment. What do you think?

Buy them here, $595

Gloves are usually unnecessary and impractical--especially when you live in Los Angeles. But they are also devastatingly glamorous and fun, and now that Labor Day has come and gone, glove season is fast approaching.

After falling in love with the half gloves Sarah Jessica Parker wears while talking on a pay phone in Sex and the City, we were happy to discover they were available online. Patricia Field, who designed Carrie's original pair, is selling replicas for the reasonable price of $48. The good news: we just got ours, and they're even cooler than we could have imagined. The bad news: they're on back order yet again, and this time until November.

Although we're loving summer at the moment, our fashion-forward minds are already getting excited about cool weather and hot fall trends. After all, who doesn't love shopping now for items you can't wear for three more months?

It goes without saying that some of the styles we saw in the Sex and the City movie should come with a "Don't try this at home" warning, and when we first saw these over the knee argyle socks (available for $14 at PatriciaField.com) on Carrie, we thought they were a prime example. But something made us take another look. And another. And, all of a sudden, we kind of love them.

Patricia Field is a busy, busy woman. She has deals with Payless and Marks and Spencer, and now she can add another notch to her surely fabulous belt -- the Home Shopping Network.

The safari trend is huge this season, and just because you're not quite ready for this, that doesn't mean you can't find a way to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe that suits your personality.

Hopefully, you grew out of playing with Barbie dolls a long, long long time ago, but if you have it in you to dress yourself up like the imaginary blonde with impossible measurements, you can pick up Patricia Field's Barbie Luxe pieces for Spring 2008.

The designer, who is known for her styling of Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw, Ugly Betty, and the Devil Wears Prada, debuted the collection of Barbie-inspired sportswear, vintage-style dresses, jewelry and handbags at the Directives West fashion show in Los Angeles last week. The collection will launch on November 13 at the designer's store in New York.

Where have I been? As it turns out that Patricia Fields not only wears and styles her clients in Payless shoes but she designs them, too.

When Patricia Field walked the red carpet at the Oscars (she was nominated for best costumes for "The Devil Wears Prada") she was wearing Payless shoes. Not just any pair of Payless shoes, a pair that she "styled" herself.

This holiday season her "red carpet" shoes will be available to purchase at Payless stores. The platform heels with an ankle strap are made with an edgy green metallic snakeskin patterned material. After years of having a close relationship with Patricia Fields, Payless approached her with the design project and she jumped at the chance.

The shoes are actually quite cute and I will take any excuse to walk into Payless to smell that weird rubber shoe smell. Seriously, I could take in that smell for hours.

I have seen these gloves on Patricia Field's Web site for quite some time, and they have always intrigued me. Although I found them completely pointless (unless you are dialing a disgusting pay phone), I also found them extremely fascinating -- but why? They look kind of funny and they don't keep you warm ... what's the appeal?

Because my voice of reason spoke louder than my strange fashionable fascination, I kept my $32 in my wallet where it belongs.

Fast forward to today. I was visiting FabSugar.com where I saw more photos from the upcoming 'Sex and the City' movie. What was Carrie wearing? Uh-huh, fingertip gloves. What was she doing? She was dialing a dirty New York City pay phone.

Suddenly fingertip gloves are a bit more appealing. But the question is ... would you wear them?

Fashion queen Patricia Field has taken fashion slang to a whole new level. Now the sidewalk can be your runway with this tube dress that is splattered with all of your favorite pieces of slang, like "work it" and "fierce".

Patricia Field is best known for her styling work on Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada (which is playing on my DVD player right now) but if you go to her site you will find all sorts of affordable goodies. This rocking tube dress is only $54 and is made in the U.S.A.

Patricia Field actually started her career back in 1966 when she opened her boutique in Greenwich Village. The store was designed specifically to target fashionistas and people in the "scene". Forty years later her brand still holds to those standards. I mean, not any girl can rock this runway dress. Other standouts from Patricia Field's collection are finger tip gloves, and her House of Field plastic clutch.

If Patricia's designs aren't your cup of tea, she also sells a variety of other fabulous designers.
