Designer Shoes

With the release of Sex and the City 2 just a week away, I’m sure I’m not the only one getting her knickers in a twist and planning an evening to watch the first movie with plenty of ice cream and swathes of fond reminiscence. Of course, it’s not just about the girls for me either – it’s at least half about the fashion and, of that half, the majority of my excitement is for the shoes!

Sex and the City famously adores the massive designer labels like Dolce & Gabbana, Prara and Dior, whose extreme gladiator platforms feature time and time again in the original movie. They also flaunt their love for designers like Jimmy Choo, Roberto Cavalli, Richard Tyler and of course Manolo Blahnik, who is reputed to have custom made Carrie’s blue satin heels especially for the movie! Between them and the massive costume department, which reputedly plans 50 outfits for Carrie in every episode, they rarely fail to utterly impress and astound my fashion addiction. Of course, jealousy also rears its ugly head at times, when I realise there’s no way I could afford even a single item of clothing on Carrie’s person, let alone the whole outfit or even the shoes alone. Although they often mix charity shop with designer labels, I don’t think there has ever been a cheap pair of shoes on that programme; the aforementioned Manolo Blahnik blue satins can be purchased for just shy of $1000!

Perhaps I should take blogging to the next level and become a journalist instead – Carrie never draws any real conclusions and she seems to get by alright!
