While a lot of things have changed in Carrie Bradshaw’s life—her partner, her friends, the way she publishes her work—her penchant for a dizzyingly expensive heel has never dwindled. And Just Like That…, the chaotic Sex And The City reboot, found its groove on July 29 with the release of its second season’s third episode: “Chapter Three.”
Sure, we still had to sit through a pretentious Seema being robbed of her prized Birkin, Lisa and Charlotte’s frivolous interest in making a MILF list at their childrens’ school, and Miranda awkwardly unable to use technology… again. But it felt like it got back to what we love most about the show (next to the wayward dating advice, of course): The Fashion. Finding it difficult to record the audio component for her book about the death of her husband, Carrie Bradshaw runs into an old friend, Betsy, in a beauty salon who, too, lost her partner.
“I just fell apart reading it,” confesses Carrie. “I was suddenly right back there again… I thought I was doing so well, I got through that whole first year.”
“Honey, the second year is worst than the first,” replies Betsy. “That’s the dirty little secret that nobody tells you. Time is passing, and whatever is happening—good, bad, weird—he’s missing all of it, and you feel further and further away from him.”
Betsy encourages Carrie to do whatever it is she feels she needs to do to make herself feel better. And for Ms. Bradshaw, it’s shopping for shoes. Seconds later (or at the 18 minute and 19 second mark), Carrie has opened boxes of shoes splayed across the floor of her West Village apartment: Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Loewe’s balloon sandals.
