I’m a fan of Naughty Monkey shoes, so I love finding a great bargain on the brand. And although I already own the Naughty Monkey Fiesta heel, I’ve had to notice that the same pair is going on sale for super-low prices lately - quite a bit lower than I paid (but they were so worth it). Amazon has the best price I’ve seen for the black and brown Naughty Monkey Fiesta shoes, which are both priced at $32.38 in most sizes with free shipping. Another nice price can be found at Piperlime, where the brown and purple versions are marked down to $39.99 (purple is almost sold out) and coupon code EXTRA20 takes another 20% off until 7/22/10, making them $31.99 with free shipping. From what I can tell, the brown Fiesta has been less popular than, say, the yellow Fiesta, but I can very well imagine pairing it with the other LBD - the little brown dress - with superb results. If you’ve ever owned a perfect little brown dress, you know what I mean.

Or, you can opt for the similar, but newer, model of mini studded pumps offered by Naughty Monkey. The Naughty Monkey Star Studded is on sale at 6pm for $47.99, marked down from its MSRP of $79.99. I’m liking the grey version, which reminds me a bit of those shoes Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the Sex and the City premier with her yellow dress. Or, you can go for something bright with the blue and pink options or choose classic black, each for the same price. However, if you like pink, head over to Amazon to get them for $45.86 with free shipping instead and save even more.
To find discounts on addtional Naughty Monkey styles, check out the selection at Amazon and 6pm. The expiration on the sale prices listed here are unknown.

Sex and the City 2 is finally out today (yay!) and I won’t be braving the theatres on premier day, although I will attempt to check it out this weekend. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to round up all of the shoes we’ve seen so far that are either in the movie or associated with it (i.e. premiers, etc). Since we know the Sex and the City 2 ladies are always extravagent and over-the-top with fashion - the cost of their wardrobe is said to have been around $10 million - I’ve also found lookalike options that are far less expensive. These are the shoes we’ve seen in the movie photos and info released up until now, some of which I’ve covered in my previous Sex and the City 2 shoes posts, but now you can see them all in one big super-post. I’m sure the movie itself will provide plenty of additional footwear eye candy, so I’ll add more as I see them.


We’ll start with the gold heels Sarah Jessica Parker wears as Carrie Bradshaw in her white dress, which is one of my favorite looks so far. I love the gold and white combo and how the simplicity of the dress allows the shoes to really shine. These appear to be Christian Louboutin Pigalle Strass heels, but they aren’t available for purchase online (the Halston Heritage white dress is available at Neiman Marcus for $325 though). However, I did find some similarly sparkly shoes that are sold for less:

H by Halston Stella gold glitter pumps for $79.95 exclusively at Bakers Shoes. These are also available in silver glitter, multi glitter and brown, white or black leather.

Chinese Laundry Ladybug in gold for $79.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.

Enzo Angiolini Merryann in gold and silver for $79.95 at Nordstrom. The stock photo really doesn’t do this pair justice. Check out the Goldenmeans blog to see just how gorgeous these look on.
 
We also see Carrie wearing the Christian Louboutin Bridget Strass in SATC2. These are also unavailable online, but we have a close lookalike from Dollhouse:

The gold version of the Dollhouse Tano is available at Dollhouse.com for $54. Or, you can opt for the all black Tano, which DSW offers for $49.95. Get $10 off at DSW with code TAKE10 (must login) until 6/28 and free shipping with code FREESHIP at checkout. Update: Amazon has the Dollhouse Tano in red/black, gold/black or all black marked down to $41.97 with free shipping.
 
We see the Christian Louboutin Gino t-strap sandal on Carrie with her bright blue dress. Again, these are unavailable for sale online and there aren’t too many close lookalikes that I see. But, these less expensive shoes offer some of the same elements, resulting in a similar look:

Charles by Charles David Racey for $68.77 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.

Betsey Johnson Lavant for $133 at 6pm.

Cri de Coeur Elegance for $100 with free overnight shipping at Endless.

Sarah Jessica Parker looked amazing at the Sex and the City 2 premier in yellow Valentino and dark silver Salvatore Ferragamo double platform heels. This Steve Madden pair provides a nice alternative:

Steve Madden Caryssa for $89.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless. Get $15 off $80 with coupon code STATMNTI for a limited time (see site for additional codes that apply to larger purchases).
 
Sarah Jessica changes into a black dress and bold Nicholas Kirkwood shoes for the premier after-party. These shoes are sold at Browns, but they are currently out of stock with more coming soon (Update: The version without pink piping is available at luisaviaroma.com for $1,242.40). This is another unique pair that’s hard to find lookalikes for, but these shoes come close:

Michael Antonio Toki in purple or grey for $66.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless or for $59.90 with free shipping on $75 or more at FlyJane.

Cut-Out Colorblock Peep Toe Heel for $30 at GoJane.


The Brian Atwood Loca in lavender is worn by Carrie with her plaid shirt and cropped jeans. The Loca was available at Net-a-Porter for $800, but is now sold out (more stock may be coming soon). Neiman Marcus has the black and antique brass versions available for $800 and Bergdorf has them for $815. If you’re looking for a more affordable lavender studded heel lookalike for the Loca, try this pair:

The Steve Madden Twilitte is available at Steve Madden for $109.95 and you can get 25% off and free shipping with coupon code FF25 until 5/31/10. It also comes in black.

Update: Here’s a Brian Atwood Loca knockoff from GoJane. It’s $29.90 and comes in black, grey or red.


Miley Cyrus makes a cameo in the movie and she’s dressed identical to Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall, even down to their strappy boots. These are the Dolce Vita Marilyn, available in very limited sizes at Endless, but almost sold out completely everywhere. Bebe has a practically identical version, the Bebe Jenna, which is also out of stock (with more coming soon it appears). For less expensive lookalikes, see this post or check out this pair that reminds me of the Marilyn, except in a lighter, more summer-y way:

Guess Blarney for $140 in black or brown at Guess.com.

Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha Jones is seen wearing the $148 Patricia Field Classic Polly shoes in white and gold. You can find these and more shoes by Patricia Field at Patriciafield.com.

The iconic Manolo Blahnik Something Blue shoes make a cameo in SATC2 as part of the shoes in Carrie’s closet. You can get the real deal at Bergdorf Goodman for $945 or try these blue satin lookalikes for less:

Martinez Valero Zenith Blue for $154.99 at Sears.

RSVP Zaza for $99 with free shipping at Zappos.

Charlotte wears purple peep toe platforms in the movie and the shoes help Carrie locate her in a crowded Abu Dhabi market. I’m not sure exactly what kind of shoes these are, but the Paris Hilton Sashay in purple is a pretty alternative that looks quite similar.

You can get these for $69.30 at 6pm.


Charlotte also wears the pink and white Christian Louboutin Very Croise platform sandal (seen at Polyvore). For more affordable shoes that aren’t exact, but have similar design elements and/or colors, try these:

The Shiekh Catwalk 22 in black and white for $25 at Shiekhshoes.com. It’s also available in four additional color options.

Another option from Shiekhshoes, the Shiekh Persia-01. This is actually a lookalike for another designer pair, but it has the same pink and white combo. These are $44.97.

Get the same color combo in sandal form with the Guess Knotted platform for $98.95 at Endless. Get $15 more off using coupon code STATMNTI at checkout for a limited time.

Carrie wears a pair of black and blue booties with her green dress that are from Pierre Hardy. I couldn’t find these shoes online, but the blog Better In Boots has some more info/pics. For a less expensive option, try this pair:

Fergie Jolt for $48.98 with free shipping at Amazon.

When Carrie runs into Aiden in the Abu Dhabi market, she wears a Dior t-shirt with a long, full skirt and pink suede sandals. The pink shoes worn by Sarah Jessica Parker are the Manolo Blahnik Lezza, which are unavailable for sale online but you can see a picture of the black version over at Coolspotters. For a similar alternative, try these shoes:

Pour La Victoire Bridgette in fuschia for $163.90 with free overnight shipping at Endless.

Dollhouse Esina for $49.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless. This pair is also a lookalike for this Giuseppe Zanotti sandal.

United Nude Cup Goddess for $194.95 at Endless.

6pm has over 100 styles of Chinese Laundry shoes on sale starting today with discounts of up to 70% off. That puts some styles as low as $17 and others as high as $74, plus everything in-between. I see plenty of cute shoes in this selection at great prices, like the Chinese Laundry Sassyfras sandal (above) in red, taupe or black for $53.40. I’ve mentioned this pair before, but the 6pm price is quite a bit lower than what I saw then and a bargain compared to other stores that currently offer it. Here’s a couple more styles with big savings:

Chinese Laundry Wiz in grey, black or brown for $26.70 (regularly $89).

Chinese Laundry Frenchie in bronze or black for $26.70 (regularly $89). Update: Get an even better price at Shoemall, where this pair is marked down to $31.99. Apply coupon code PRCNT15 to get 15% off, making them $27.19 with free shipping (6pm charges extra for shipping).

Siobhan Magnus is definitely one of the most unique and talented contestants on American Idol this year and, although Crystal is my current fave, I think Siobhan is fun to watch. Even if her performances don’t always hit the mark for me, she certainly knows how to stand out. In addition to her singing (and infamous “screaming”), she also distinguishes herself from the crowd through fashion. Siobhan’s style on the show is quirky and eclectic - she definitely has an 80’s vibe going on and it’s mixed up with a little urban edge (she wore Missy Elliot boots on a previous show) and a bit of geek-chic with her Molly Ringwald-esque glasses and hair. This past week, during the Elvis show, I definitely took notice of her super-strappy white wedge shoes (pictured above) and I had set out to find them. My first thought was Jeffrey Campbell, but I couldn’t locate the exact pair. However, I did find one that is very similar:

It’s called the Jeffrey Campbell Polish and it’s on sale for $119.95 (originally $169.95) at Solestruck. I’m not sure if this shoe was ever made in white and I noticed Siobhan’s pair had rhinestones (or something similarly shiny) across a few of the straps, so it could be a totally different shoe. Then again, it could be a version of the Polish that will be available for sale in the future. After all, you never know what kind of pre-sale hookups the American Idol stylists have, but we’ll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, here are some more lookalikes for Siobhan’s shoes:

Aldo Gutenson in gray or black for $100 at Aldo.com. Coupon code 142434083 takes 10% off (expiration unknown) and shipping is $5 or free if you spend over $100.

Steven Reana in taupe or black for $129.95 at Steve Madden. Use coupon code SMFREESHIP for free shipping.

Jeffrey Campbell The Ember for $118 at Karmaloop. Coupon code CLINTON takes 20% off (expiration unknown).

Aldo Blandon in taupe or black for $100 at Aldo. Coupon code 142434083 takes 10% off (expiration unknown) and shipping is $5 or free if you spend over $100.
On a related note, you can read more about the American Idol women’s stylist, Soyon An - and how she works with a $400 per contestant per week budget - over at StyleList. Soyon often finds items from affordable stores like Aldo, Bebe and Forever 21 for the outfits you see on the show.
Update: I found out in the American Idol style section that the pair Siobhan wore on the show was originally black, but it was customized to white with a lightning bolt to complete her look, so it appears the shoe may have been the Polish after all!

Do any of you wear boots in spring and summer? Personally, I rarely do. When warm weather hits, I’m usually more than ready to put away my boots and swap them for sandals and flip flops. “Spring boots” sounds like an oxymoron to me. But, I’ve been hearing a bit of buzz lately about wearing boots in the warmer seasons, so it’s definitely worth some consideration. If there was a boot that would sway me to try it out, it would have to be one of these cute styles from Miz Mooz that I spotted at Endless.com:

Miz Mooz Sandi in cognac (above), ice (pictured at top) or black for $159.95

Miz Mooz Susie in black, green, grey, ice or red for $159.95
I like the Susie in grey, but I have to admit the red version is spicier and would definitely be fun to wear:

The boots both feature perforation on the shaft that results in a “lighter” appearance and I imagine it would also help keep the legs a bit cooler too. They would be cute paired with leggings, skinny jeans, mini skirts or dresses.
Hmm, maybe I will give spring boots a try this year - how about you?

I think the Betsey Johnson Nina in cream is super-adorable, yet sophisticated, with its contrasting stripes and studded bow. There was also a very appealing red, black and white version available at one time that appears to be sold out online. You can get the best price on the cream pair at Heels.com, where it is on sale for $176.99 with free shipping, but few sizes are left. Shoes.com also has them for $251.99 and coupon code MSAVE takes an additional 20% off, making them $201.59. While this isn’t an outrageous amount of money, it’s still a big chunk of change for many of us and not always doable on a tight budget.
 
Enter the Not Rated In LA, which offers similar stripes - just in different colors - and a studded bow. If given the choice (i.e. free reign to spend as much as I want), I would opt for the Betsey Johnson pair because they look higher in quality overall and I prefer the color scheme, but the Not Rated pair is definitely a cute alternative at a much lower price. You can get this style in black or yellow at Shoes.com for $50 and the 20% off MSAVE code reduces them to $40 with free shipping. There’s also a blue/white/red version available at Endless.com for $49.99 with free shipping.
Speaking of Not Rated, I saw this promo photo on Endless and had to find out which shoes were featured here:

And, you guessed it, they are from Not Rated as well (of note, Not Rated shoes are made by the same company as one of my fave brands, Naughty Monkey). This is the Not Rated Inked:

These pump-boot hybrid shoes clearly look hot with boyfriend jeans and they’re nicely affordable too. You can get these in black or cream for $60.95 (most sizes) with free shipping at Endless. However, Shoes.com has them for $60 and the 20% MWAVE code drops them to $48 with free shipping. They also have the yellow pair, which is now sold out at Endless. Coupon expiration is unknown.
