Sex and The City Love Key Chain

After hosting the SATC Movie pre-screening party in Seattle all the ladies were buzzing about the Love keychain that Louise gave Carrie. It is one of the most iconic images from the movie (besides the blue Manolos). After some research I learned that the keychain was custom designed by H. Stern for the movie with a fat price tag of around 6k. How Louise could ever afford that keychain is beyond me!

After my crushing discovery that the keychain cost more than the Manolos I let my dream of carrying around a little piece of SATC and the reminder to have "faith in love" slowly fade away. Fast forward to present day. I happened across the movie on HBO and the key chain grabbed my attention yet again. Then I had one of my "inspired" moments and thought A) what a great way to ask your girlfriend to move in with you and B) those would make fantastic bridesmaid gifts. So after a single google search their she was, a reasonably priced replica. Check out Love is Key NYC, The HBO Store, or Seen On for the key chain and Mr. Lock or your local hardware store for the house key cap cover.

So fellas, if you are looking for the perfect way to ask her to move in try it Sex and The City Style with the Love Key Chain. Then when the time is right you can propose with the Blue Manolos and she can in turn give the key chain to her bridesmaids as thank you gifts!
