Shoe Buzz: Sex and the City 2 shoe style for less

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

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. premieres, 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.  Update: Now on sale for $59.99.

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 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  the embroidered cage snake bootie available at GoJane for $27.70 and the Mesh Floral Embroidery Heels for $24.99 at Amiclubwear.

 

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. Update: A few more lookalikes: the N.Y.L.A. Webebe at Amazon or Endless for $169.95 or the Charles Albert New 1769 Double Dip in black for $58 at LuLu’s or the Strappy Detail Thigh High Boot for $45.50 at GoJane or the Suede Buckle Strap Heel Boots for $38.99 at Amiclubwear.

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.

Black triple ankle strap shoes worn by Audrina in MTV The Hills promo pics + lookalikes

Monday, May 24th, 2010

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.

Any more shoes from The Hills that you want to know about?  Let me know and I’ll see what I can do!

Guess Knotted in pink for $83.95 at Endless + more statement shoes on sale

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I’m definitely feeling the shoe love for this hot pink sandal, the Guess Knotted, which I imagine would go perfectly with summer’s version of the LBD, the little white dress, for a fun and flirty warm weather look (note to self: work on tan!).  It also works out well that Endless, who must have felt my shoe love vibes coming their way, is taking discounts on select statement shoes right now: $15 off $80 with coupon code STATMNT1, $30 off $150 with code STATMNT2 and $50 off $250 with code STATMNT3 at checkout.  That takes $15 off this $98.95 pair, making them $83.20.  Besides my favorite pink, white and platinum version, it also comes in a black and gold Knotted 2 version for the same price or a blue G-Knotted 3 version for $98.99 before discount.  Free 2-day shipping is included.  The coupons expire 6/2/10.

Message from Princess: January shoe sales to check out

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

My site was down for most of yesterday due to hosting technical issues - always a fun thing, let me tell you.  Luckily, all seems to be corrected and I, for one, am ready to talk shoe sales.  It’s January, a month that never experiences a shortage of discounts, so let’s take a look at some of the sales we’re seeing so far:

Buy more and save more at Macy’s during their Add It Up sale.  Their selection of women’s shoes are already reduced by up to 65% off and you get an additional $5 off $25, $10 off $50, $15 off $75 or $20 off $100 at checkout.  The moto-inspired Rebels Bell Boot is on sale for $31.60 (originally $79), but drops to $26.60 at checkout.  Sale expires 1/7/10.

Today only at 6pm, get Faryl Robin shoes on sale for 75% off with prices from $23.75.  The Faryl Robin Tall Boy boot in blu violet or bronze is marked down from a retail price of $228 to $57.  Also at 6pm, get Miss Sixty shoes on sale for 60% off and Cole Haan shoes for 60% off until 1/10/10.

At Guess.com, get an extra 50% off sale shoes at checkout until 1/7/09.  Sizes are limited for many styles, but there are still several options left for the Guess Pettis, which is $51.50 after discount.

Shoemall is having an End of Season Blowout shoe sale, which takes up to 65% off, and coupon code 15AMAZON takes another 15% off.  One good deal is for the Naughty Monkey Risky Business pump, which is on sale for $41.99 (regularly $84.95). After coupon, you can get them for $35.69 with free shipping.

Shoes.com still takes an additional 20% off sale shoes with coupon code WINTER.  I’m not sure when that code expires, but you can use it on the $73.60 Betseyville Larina in black or pink.  After coupon, get them for $58.88 with free shipping.  Or, head over to Shoesteal, the clearance site for Shoes.com, to get up to 75% off and an extra 20% discount with coupon code BUBBLY20 until 1/10/10.

Happy shoe shopping!

Guess Chief for $56.99 at Macy’s + more shoes on sale

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Macy’s is having their latest One Day Sale (ok, it’s actually 2 days), which means most items sitewide are up to 60% off and they’ve also taken an additional 25% off clearance, including clearance shoes.  One of my fave shoes of the moment happens to be on sale for a great price.  The Guess Chief platform heel in leopard or lace is normally $110, but it’s on clearance for $76.99.  After the extra 25% off, you can get it for $56.99, which is a lot less expensive than the prices I’ve seen elsewhere.  There are plenty of other discounted shoes to check out before the sale ends on 12/9/09.

Find My Shoes: Shoes worn by Randi on So You Think You Can Dance

Monday, November 16th, 2009

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.

If anyone recognizes the exact pair Randi is wearing here, leave a comment and help fellow shoe sister Heather out!
