After watching my favorite fashionistas on the big screen in the opening of Sex & the City 2, I’ve become enthralled with their middle eastern clothing inspirations. Vibrant colors, silks and jewel embellishments – oh so pretty! In the film, most of the looks are a bit over-the-top, and not so practical for most of us to wear. So, for those who like the style but aren’t as daring as Carrie Bradshaw, I’ve chosen a few pieces that anyone could pull off.

Since her star turns in blockbuster movies Star Trek and Avatar, Zoe Saldana has been lighting up A-list events with her dynamic style sense. Saldana’s recent outfit of choice-a cropped Isabel Marant jacket, Nobody skinny jeans, white L’Agence tank and snake printed Louboutin heels also yielded get-this-look worthy results. Her vibrant pink Ferragamo clutch and dainty layered necklaces are spot on accessory choices that only up the chic factor. What makes this spirited twist on the time-honored blazer and jean pairing even more on point is its day to night versatility. Shop beso to get Zoe’s effortlessly pulled together style.

Right now the Cowgirl/County Girl look is very popular, and what’s great about this look is that it’s comfortable!   I love being stylish, but I have a really hard time sacrificing comfort for style, so I am always thrilled when a trend comes around that allows you to do both!

Here are some essential pieces you can use to put together a great plus size country style look.

*Denim shirt:  The Avenue has a really great denim shirt right now, the Austin Ruffled Denim Tunic Blouse.  It’s a fitted denim shirt but with the additional fashion elements of ruffles, a high collar, and a long tunic length.

*Western Boots:  Whether you go for actual cowboy boots or just something that has a similar, warn in, chunky heeled style, this is the boot that seals the deal on this trend.  Cowboy boots like really cute with skirts, so don’t be afraid to rock them with a flirty skirt or dress.  Many sites like Zappos carry wide calf boots in this style that will fit plus size calves..

*Flirty Floral Skirt: A short or knee length tiered floral skirt is the perfect complement to your denim shirt and western boots.  To make sure the trend stays in line with country style, look for a smaller floral or a more vintage looking print.  Too bold or large of a floral will take this look in the wrong direction.
