  • Carrie Bradshaw's Closet: Three Decades of SATC Fashion Chaos
    Aug 19 2025

    Think Sex and the City was just about dating and designer shoes? Think again. This week, Leigh's joined by Mamamia's Head of Entertainment, Laura Brodnik to decode the fashion legacy that's still influencing our wardrobes 30 years later. From Carrie's controversial black bra moments to Miranda's power suits that actually made sense, these four women didn't just change how we talk about relationships—they revolutionised how we dress.

    Laura breaks down why Carrie Bradshaw's style is actually more attainable than aspirational (yes, really!), explains how each character's wardrobe evolved to reflect their personal growth, and reveals why that infamous pigeon clutch from "And Just Like That" is peak Carrie energy.

    Dirt Fabric Spray Starter Pack $35.40

    Leigh's Budget: Norma Kamali Diana one-shoulder ruched stretch-jersey dress $339

    Laura's Budget: Fayt Sola Skirt Black $89.00

  • The Layering Trend That Solves Your Seasonal Wardrobe Crisis
    Aug 12 2025

    Copenhagen Fashion Week just wrapped, and Leigh's joined again by trend forecaster Lucinda Pikkat to decode the street style magic that's got everyone obsessed! From sustainability requirements that put other fashion weeks to shame (18 mandatory criteria just to show!) to the Danish girls who made sneakers with dresses a thing, Copenhagen is serving up fashion inspiration and is showing us what to expect for our spring season.

    Lucinda breaks down the "Copenhagen C's"—from Scandi minimalism to full-blown maximalism—and explains why 50% influencer attendance means we're seeing the most creative, risk-taking looks on the streets. Think tartan mini skirts with giant bows, sequin dresses layered over jeans, and enough polka dots to make your head spin (in the best way).
