Ever since I was old enough to understand what was going on in Sex and the City, I have wanted to be Carrie Bradshaw and everything she stands for. From writing for a publication to being beyond fabulous, it’s safe to say that Carrie Bradshaw is who I aspire to be. Though her life isn’t really all that realistic (sorry to be that person), that’s no reason not to devote a Saturday night to a SATC marathon equipped with your best friends and a bottle or two of your favorite wine. Could you imagine if Carrie Bradshaw used your favorite phone apps that you check more than five times a day? Well, you’re about to find out!
We all know how obvious it was that Carrie was oblivious to the technology that existed in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. You can’t help but laugh at the picture above! If Carrie were to come alive on Twitter, what would her handle be? I’m thinking @fab_CBradshaw, so everyone in the Twitter world was fully aware of her fabulousness. As for the content of her Twitter, Carrie probably tweets about shoes, cosmopolitans, ex-loves, and… shoes.
Tinder
The sex and relationships expert would probably have a field day on Tinder and would write some serious columns about it. Carrie’s bio would explain her love for her three BFFs and how she’s had her heart broken multiple times by the same man, @Mr.Big. However, she would probably become baffled at the crazy spectrum of crude pick-up lines…
This would 100% be Carrie’s social media haven. From posting her latest pics with the girls at breakfast to seeing what Big was doing (or who…) while in France, Carrie would be addicted to Facebook and would need it with her at all times. However, she would take the status question of “What’s on your mind?” a little too literally…
Maybe this app would be the end of Carrie’s use of her oven as a space for storing her clothes! One could only hope, right? From DIY presents for friends to cocktail recipes and closet organization tips, Carrie would definitely be beyond intrigued by Pinterest.
Mobile Shopping
We all try to block out the fact that our favorite stores have apps to download and send us alerts about sales, new arrivals, and even discount codes. However, Carrie wouldn’t be able to commit to these. Even though the Urban Outfitters app is like my best friend, Carrie prefers in-house shopping where she can smell the expensive perfume and touch all of the Manolo Blahniks.
Spotify
We are truly #blessed to have apps such as Spotify to play all of the music our dancing hearts desire. From jamming in her closet while picking out what to wear to a gala to her latest boy’s house-warming party, Carrie would have a Spotify playlist for every occasion (and man)!
Carrie would be an Instagram fiend! From the latest date (or breakup) with Big, every hairstyle and outfit change, and even her BFF’s weddings, Carrie would need to document it all! Though it may take her a while at first, she would learn to love her #hashtags and filters.
Snapchat
Carrie would be forever confused by Snapchat, and would probably end up sending blurry mistake Snapchats to ex-lovers and her best friends. However, when she finally would get the ropes of the app, there’s no club opening with her gal-pals that wouldn’t be live-Snapped!
