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. Update 2: More similar styles are the Anne Michelle Obscene-14 mesh bootie for $24.80 at Urban Originals and embroidered cage snake bootie available at GoJane for $27.70.
 
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.

 Betsey Johnson
I’ve professed my love for the Betsey Johnson Alison lace corset bootie in a previous post and, if you’re smitten with this lingerie-inspired shoe like I am, well, it’s no longer available (tear). It’s sold out everywhere as far as I can tell (if I’ve missed it somewhere, let me know!); however, I did spy a very similar style at Aldo. Plus, it’s even less expensive than the Betsey Johnson pair, which retailed for $150:
 Aldo
The Aldo Yacono features the same lace-up and boning detail that replicates a corset for your feet and you can get it for $80 with free shipping through 5/17. I admit, I do like the Betsey pair a bit more - I think it’s the higher platform heel and extra lace around the top that really gives it the upper hand - but the Aldo pair is pretty hot too…and it’s available.

Speaking of Aldo, it looks like they’re doing some spring cleaning in their clearance section right now because they are taking an additional 25% off clearance shoes. The discount is already applied to the sale price listed and there are tons of style options, from edgy statement heels to flat sandals to pretty evening styles. It’s even better that shipping is free with no minimum this weekend, so you don’t have to factor in that extra cost while doing your shoe shopping. I like the Aldo Segura peep toe platform pump in silver (pictured above). It’s a nice go-with-everything alternative to black and you can get it for just $33.74 (originally $90). I’m not sure exactly when the sale ends, but the shipping offer ends 5/17/10.
Update: Karmaloop has the Betsey Johnson Alison back in stock for $150 and coupon code CLINTON reduces them to $120 (coupon expiration unknown).
Update 2: Zappos now has the Betsey Johnson Alison in-stock for $154 with free shipping. Thanks to Stephanie for the heads up!

The cast of The City has returned for Season 2 of the MTV show (technically Season 3, but whatevs) and, as always, I’ve got an eye on these ladies’ style, particularly their cute shoes. We haven’t seen any of those shoe close-up shots they’re known to do on the show so far (after the first two episodes anyway), but I do know that some people are interested in the shoes worn in the promo pics for the show. They definitely have some standout pairs going on in these photos and I’ve attempted to find out which shoes they are and lookalike versions that are also hot, but cost a fraction of the price. Here’s what I found for Whitney:

Whit looks really amazing in this shot. She’s got legs for miles and they end with one of the hottest designer shoes of the moment, the Fendi Cinderella:

Fendi somehow manages to make a huge clear platform heel look, well, classy and Whitney is donning a gorgeous light blue version of this frothy concoction. There were many colors featured in the Fendi Spring 2010 show, but the only one I’ve seen for sale is the blush version at Net-A-Porter. It’s $1,195 and nearly sold out. There’s also an alternate version of the Fendi Cinderella at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,140, but it’s almost sold out as well.
Now, it’s not an easy thing to find anything that remotely resembles this shoe. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a knockoff at some point, as we usually do, but I haven’t seen anything so far. However, I did find some shoes that incorporate some of the elements of this pair resulting in a similar look:

The Bebe Scarlett Scarf Sandal reminds me of the Fendi sandal more than anything else I’ve seen, even though the colors are bold and bright rather than subtle and soft (it would still rock with a white outfit like Whitney’s though). It comes in black or pink at Bebe for $179, but unfortunately they are almost sold out. However, they do re-stock styles from time to time, so hopefully we’ll see it available in more sizes again.

The Touch Ups Celine Heel is available in black or silver for the base and it comes with four different multicolored scarves so you can change up your look. You can get these for $69.99 at Shoebuy and coupon code MOM takes 20% off for a limited time, making them $55.96 with free shipping.

The Colin Stuart Canvas Lace-Up Sandal is sold at Victoria’s Secret for $68.

The pretty Zigi Soho Fabulous in black is dramatic and airy, making it a viable alternative for the Fendi pair. Get it at Journey’s for $49.99. You can also check out the somewhat similar and even less expensive Patent Ruffle Lace Heel at GoJane for just $21.80. It comes in a wider variety of color options.
 
Update: I ran across the Aldo Nelton and it also reminds me somewhat of the black Fendi Cinderella in wedge form, minus the super-high clear platform of course. It’s $80 at Aldo.com.

Update 2: Check out these shoes from Bakers for more options: The Scarfy WP (pictured above) for $59.99 in ivory or black, the Star for $49.99 in black or the Tonya for $49.99 in orange, turquoise, white or multi.
 
Whitney also rocks a good-girl-gone-bad look in another promo photo, which features the Giuseppe Zanotti Zip Cuffed Jewel Sandal, available at Neiman Marcus for $1,360 or Zappos for the same price. Here are some similarly sexy looks for less:

ZiGiny Erratic for $199.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless. Update: Here are a couple more lookalikes for this pair that are much more affordable, the Black Strappy Stud Ankle Heel at Americlubwear for $25.99 and the Celeste Yama-10 Jeweled Open Toe Sandal at Urban Originals for $28.90.

Nine West Inquisat for $129 at Ninewest.com. Get 20% off at checkout until 5/9/10, which drops them to $103.20. They ship 5/18/10.

ALDO Tinder in black for $69.98 at Aldo.com, reduced from $90. It also comes in beige for $59.98. Use coupon code FSNEWMAY10 for free shipping.

ZiGiny Gaga for $53.95 at Karmaloop. Apply coupon code CLINTON to take 20% off, making them $43.16 (list price $180) plus shipping. That’s the best price I see, but sizes are limited. Amazon also has them for $77 with free shipping.

Of course, we also have the cage heel Whitney wears in the intro of The City, during the opening credits where she’s stepping out of a taxi cab. This promo was shot quite some time ago and the shoe may have been the Dolce Vita Cher, which basically isn’t available any longer, but luckily this kind of caged, ghillie tie style is still popular and available from other brands. Here are a few I’ve seen:

Chinese Laundry Lucky Strike for $80 at Shoes.com. Apply coupon code MOMSAVE20 for 20% off, making them $64 with free shipping. The coupon expires 5/9/10.

Nine West Jemmia for $89 at Ninewest.com. They qualify for an extra 30% off and an extra 20% off at checkout until 5/9/10, which reduces them to $49.84 with $5 extra for shipping.

GoJane Laced-Up Cage Heel for $22.60.


Finally, we have the shoes Whitney wore for her Whitney Eve fashion show in Bryant Park. According to Whitney’s blog, her outfit is Whitney Eve and the shoes are from Lanvin. It looks like this Lanvin high-heeled sandal for $430 at YOOX, but this one is in black and only one size is left. Here are some alternatives:

Betsey Johnson Gemma in gold leather for $86.25 at 6pm.

Luichiny Gal Lop in champagne for $45.87 at Amazon.

Nina Clova in gold satin for $79 at Shoes.com. Coupon code MOMSAVE20 takes 20% off until 5/9/10, making them $63.20 with free shipping.
Next time, I’ll talk about more shoes from Erin, Olivia and Roxy from The City, plus shoes from MTV’s The Hills.

Lord & Taylor is having a Friends & Family sale that takes 25% off most items sitewide, including their selection of women’s shoes, when you apply coupon code FRIENDS at checkout. There’s no shortage of cute shoes to pick from, especially since the discount applies to both regularly-priced and sale shoes, but a few brand exclusions apply. One of my favorites is a quite a splurge, but it’s gorgeous and so spring-ready, so I can’t help but love it. It’s the Nanette Lepore Secret Love (pictured above) and it’s $355, but it drops to $266.25 after code. Here are a few more of my picks from this sale:

B. Makowsky Anne in black or gold for $139 before code and $104.25 after (limited sizes).

Michael Michael Kors Juniper in brown or black for $150 before code and $112.50 after.

Nina Calinda braided wedge in gold or silver for $79 before coupon and $59.25 after.

Betsey Johnson Calandra in black or black/white for $150 before coupon and $112.50 after.

Born Cornflower in yellow, black or white for $95 before coupon and $71.25 after.

Nine West Consuela in pink or black for $89 before coupon and $66.75 after.

Sam Edelman Zoe in black for $350 before coupon and $262.50 after.

AK Anne Klein Marcella zipper flat in black for $59.99 before coupon and $44.99 after.
Shipping is free if you spend $150 or more. The coupon expires 4/25/10.

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I’m a bit delayed in returning to my shoeblogging after my weekend jaunt, so I definitely had to share a super-hot shoe today to make up for it. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s the Betsey Johnson Alison lace platform stiletto bootie and I am definitely in love. This shoe is inspired by a corset, complete with boning and lace-up detail. I have a thing for lace, whether it be in my clothes or my shoes, but we all know that the whole lingerie-as-outerwear thing can be quite a thin line to tread. Not so with shoes, which is one reason I love them so. You can reveal as much as you want to with shoes, but without the risk of being in that precarious “overexposed” situation you might get from clothing. Not to mention, these shoes are perfect for applying the feminine detail trend I talked about in my spring shoe trends post and the ghillie tie shoe trend that Piperlime says is hot for spring. All in all, that makes this shoe a “do” in my book.
Apparently I’m not the only one because this pair is sold out in several places. However, you can still get them at either Lord & Taylor or Karmaloop and get a nice discount to boot. Lord & Taylor has them for $150 and coupon code SHOP takes another 20% off, making them $120 with free shipping. That code expires 4/3/10 and there aren’t many sizes left. Karmaloop also offers them in a few sizes for $150 (I’ve literally seen several sizes sell out just in the course of the day today) and coupon code CLINTON takes 20% off. Shipping is extra and the coupon expiration is unknown.
Update: This shoe appears to be sold out everywhere now, but I found a similar pair from Aldo.
Update 2: Karmaloop has the Alison back in stock for $150 and coupon code CLINTON still works to reduce them to $120.
Update 3: Zappos now has the Betsey Johnson Alison in-stock for $154 with free shipping. Thanks to Stephanie for the heads up!

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.

I love finding a great deal on Betsey Johnson shoes, especially one like the Betsey Johnson Kottes in black. It’s a mary jane style in schoolgirl plaid, but far from being sweet and innocent. This is Betsey, after all. Of course she adds a naughty, rocker chick twist with the super-high heel, large buckle and stud detail, which contrasts so well with the classic print. To top it off, they are on sale at Amazon, where you can get them for $76.99 - that’s a sweet 60% off their retail price of $190. Sizes are getting a bit limited, but you can still currently find 6.5-8.5 and shipping is also free. The sale price expiration, if any, is unknown.
Update: If you are a size 9.5 or 10, get a slightly better price at Lord & Taylor. They are on clearance for $84.99 and coupon code BIG takes another 25% off. That makes them $63.74, but shipping is $9.95 extra. Or, get free shipping if your order is $150 or more. The coupon expires 2/28/10.
