In my last post on shoes from The Hills, I asked if there were any additional shoes from Season 6 of the MTV show that people wanted more information on.  I got an email from someone asking about the black triple buckle platform sandals that Audrina wears in the promo photo above.  I’ve noticed that Audrina likes her fashion in the same way she likes her men — with plenty of edge.  Ok, maybe Ryan Cabrera isn’t exactly what you’d call ”edgy”, but they did apparently break up and she definitely exudes her signature rock-chick look in these shoes:

They are the Gucci Iman and, unfortunately, it appears that they are completely sold out online.   But, I did manage to find some lookalike shoes that are well under the $1,275 retail price of the Gucci pair.  Here are some similar options for less:

Chinese Laundry Mercy for $89.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.  Get an additional $15 off $80 using coupon code STATMNTI for a limited time (see site for additional codes if your order is larger), which reduces them to $74.95.

Bebe Vania for $159 at Bebe.com.  Get free shipping on $150 with coupon code SUMMER10.

Guess Kenedora for $109.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless.  Get an additional $15 off $80 using coupon code STATMNTI for a limited time (see site for additional codes if your order is larger), which reduces them to $94.95.

Black Strappy Studded Platform Heels for $24.99 at Americlubwear.

Aldo Taualii for $74.98 with free shipping at Amazon.

N.Y.L.A. Velvey for $63.30 in black at Endless (few sizes left).  It’s also available in brown or blue — see site for pricing.  Free 2-day shipping applies.

Anticipation is already high for the Sex and the City sequel and it’s sure to grow to a full-on frenzy the closer we get to the May 27 premiere, a mere week away.  As a SATC fan, I’m certainly counting the days until it’s out and, of course, I’m looking forward to checking out the shoes.  Let’s face it, Sex and the City just wouldn’t be the same without all of the fabulous footwear.  Even though the movie isn’t out yet, we already know we’ll see plenty of Christian Louboutin featured, but I got an email from someone who wanted to find out where to buy the Vivienne Westwood shoes that are a part of the film.  It’s the strappy brown gladiator sandal with multiple buckles that Sarah Jessica Parker wears in one of the official movie posters (pictured above) and it has extra-long straps that hang down from the side.  It’s definitely one of those to-die-for kind of shoes. 

According to Vogue UK, this particular pair was originally made for the Vivienne Westwood spring/summer 2009 Gold Label collection to show on the runway and it was never produced to sell.  But, due to demand generated by the movie – referred to by Vogue as the “Carrie factor” – the label has decided to make them and sell them at select Vivienne Westwood boutiques so that SATC fans have the “opportunity to own a piece of memorabilia featured in the movie.”  But, if you don’t have a boutique near you, you can also pre-order the Sex and the City 2 shoes online at hervia.com, which is the website of UK’s leading retailer of Vivienne Westwood products.  They have the shoes on pre-order for £425 and, if my calculations are correct, that translates to roughly $610 with shipping available worldwide. 

Don’t forget, Vivienne Westwood was the designer of Carrie’s wedding dress in the first Sex and the City movie and the knee-length version Net-a-Porter offered sold out in a matter of hours, so act quick if you must have these limited-edition stunners or they could be gone for good.  The expected ship date is 5/24/10.

Update: Sold out.

I got an email from Heather, who needs help locating a pair of shoes she spotted while attending the So You Think You Can Dance live show in Omaha.  It was a pair worn by Randi, seen here dancing in the show, one shoe on and one shoe off (click to see larger size):

Great pics, Heather!  I didn’t get the scoop on why she had only one shoe on, but I imagine it probably fell off during the dance.  Show must go on, right?  Her shoes appear to be a python or snakeskin print with a black heel, super-high platform and red sole.  Of course, the red sole usually indicates Christian Louboutin, but I don’t see anything currently on the market that looks exactly like this.  Here are some Christian Louboutin python heels that are available:

Christian Louboutin Rolando for $1,195 at Barney’s

Christian Louboutin Python Feticha for $1,170 at Barney’s 

Christian Louboutin Python Pump for $1,335 at Saks Fifth Avenue

If the shoes are Louboutin, I think they could be from a previous collection that’s now sold out.  Like this pair I saw on Ebay with a black heel (the auction has now ended, but you can scroll down to see the listing):

Of course, a red sole does not always mean it’s Louboutin, so I also looked for this shoe under a wide range of other brands.  I did not end up finding the exact shoe, but I did find several look-alike styles:

Seychelles Barn Dance at Karmaloop for $65.  Coupon code SEARCH7 (exp. unknown) gives free shipping at checkout.  Also available at Endless for $89.95 with free overnight shipping.

Guess by Marciano Barrie for $147.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless. In addition, another $25 is taken off at checkout (exp. unknown).

Here’s a brand known to use red soles and this particular one looks quite similar to the Louboutin Ebay pair pictured above.  The Oh Deer! Rinna is $76.99 at ShoeSteal (get an extra 25% off with code FALL25 until 11/16/09) or $131.99 at Heels.com or $131 at Shoesale.com, but sizes are limited at each.

Penny Loves Kenny Grace for $79.95 at DSW.  Members get free shipping on $35 with coupon code SNOWMAN until 1/4/10.

Guess Buckle Detail Python Stilettos for $265 at FarFetch.com.  Update: Here’s the similar Guess Kudrow available at Macy’s for $74.99.

Stuart Weitzman Platvogue for $187 with free shipping at Zappos.  Another option with a black heel and platform is the Stuart Weitzman Salvo for $178.

Steve Madden Graace for $99.95 at Steve Madden.  Get free shipping with coupon code SMFREESHIP or spend $100 or more to get 15% off and free shipping with coupon code SMSAVE15 until 11/19/09.

The Miss Me Jocelyn 1 has the super-high platform, but unfortunately it’s only available in a size 9 at Amazon for $46.74 or Endless for $45.33, although you never know if it might be re-released.  Another option from this brand is the Miss Me Joanne 4 at DSW for $29.95.

Update: Here’s a new arrival at Nordstrom with a similar look, the Via Spiga Mindy for $215.

Update 2: Love this option, the Pelle Moda Wren for $192 at Shopbop.com.
