Now “Ugly Betty” fans can sip soda from a pink leopard-print Diet Coke bottle designed by Patricia Field. They even come with stickers that you can put anywhere! For now, these bottles are only available in the U.K., but Patricia Field’s boutique and “Ugly Betty” are both based in New York City, so we know it’s only a matter of time before these tacky things come here.

“I hate the A-line skirt. It’s like a lampshade. Ugly. Kristin Davis always wanted to wear A-line skirts as she thought it hid her big behind. She has a fabulous figure – she is completely hour glass, and I would say: ‘Kristin, you have a small waist – show off your round ass!’ She would never show it. I wanted to make her into a Bettie Page in ‘Sex and the City,’ but all she wanted were A-line skirts and Ralph Lauren clothes.”

We recommend a lot of rad products, clothing designers, and crave-able items on The Frisky. Occasionally, however, we discover that an item was not worthy of our desire or endorsement and we want to take it back. After finally sampling a few of these goods ourselves, we’re totally not craving:
1. Sally Hansen Nail Pen: I finally tried this bad boy and discovered two things: A) A nail PEN is a really good idea and definitely makes polish application easier, but B) the actual polish colors available are heinous (I made the mistake of going for a iridescent opal which was trés old lady), they apply very thin and watery, and they dry extremely matte.

And, gulp, we actually think her outfit is cute. Bright patterned top and sleek leather jacket? Thumbs up. We hate ourselves. [Patricia Field store, New York City, 6/18/08]

How does it get better than summer shoes designed by Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field?  When they’re readily available nationwide and cheaper than Samantha!  Payless Shoe Source has been upping their brand with name designers and their latest catch is New York’s finest fashionista.  From classic gold pumps to silver sandals, Field’s shoes are chic and the prices fit anyone’s budget—from your lil’ sis to your best drag queen friend.

Last week I provided date-night ensemble ideas inspired by images from Sex and the City and now that the day is finally here, I’ve decided to go into a bit more depth with fashion rules and guidelines inspired by TV’s most beloved fab foursome. For six seasons, these ladies taught us to adopt an ‘anything goes’ approach to fashion, among other things—though we still haven’t forgiven Patricia Field for those giant flower pins.
