You know the moment you hear that opening track to SATC, it’s gonna be a good day.

Here are some valid reasons why Carrie Bradshaw will always be the ultimate style and life icon:

1. She is unarguably, the Queen of Heels
She educated a generation of women to the simple principal of ‘ A Woman’s Right to Shoes,’ and played a hand in fostering what is now a deep love for Manolo’s.

2. She’s upfront about things
She tells it like it is, and you have just gotta admire a woman who has the balls to do that. Carrie we salute you!

3. She’s not perfect
She shares all the same neurosis about men that we do, even if we haven’t quite stalked our other halves at mass with their Mammy’s yet. You never know, give us time.

4. She’s a classy lady
If we could wear a ballgown to McDonald’s, we totally would.

 5. She’s our relationship spirit guide
Yes, over the course of 6 seasons there were lots of men, and one or two re-run’s thrown in for good measure. However Carrie never settled, she never sold out, and she kept searching for her dream man until she finally found him.
