Bootie
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. 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.

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

The sixth and final season of MTV’s The Hills is currently underway and, of course, we’ve already experienced enough drama and antics in the first couple episodes to last us well through the end of the show (and far beyond for that matter). It’s a show that’s always straddled the line between fiction and reality, but this season gives us even more reason to ponder what’s real and what’s not: Drug rumors, uber-extreme plastic surgery, people literally losing their sanity, Ryan Cabrera on yet another reality show - yes, we’ve seen it all.
 Spencer: It boggles the mind
I have to admit I’m a bit sad that it’s almost all over, but maybe it’s time. Clearly, we’ve come a long way from the innocent, wide-eyed early days of the show when Lauren Conrad was just trying to make her way in the world. And if Spencer and Heidi really are as crazy and out-there as they seem, they probably don’t need a platform to exhibit it to the world any more than they already have. Of course, we know they have a history of playing things up for the camera, so Spencer’s super-aggressive, controlling, crystal-toting tendencies and Heidi’s blank, passive tolerance of him (breathe, Spencer, breathe) could be just for attention. If so, it still indicates a bit of craziness on their part, don’t you think? I mean, who does that? I must say, however, that Spencer might just have better acting chops than I would have guessed if it’s fake - those bulging neck veins we see displayed during his many angry rampages are pretty convincing.

The good news is that the girls are getting along relatively well, aside from those pesky drug-use accusations Kristin receives in the first episode after not hanging with the ladies one night in Miami. Kristen and Audrina, who were prone to bursts of yelling and name-calling last season, are now practically BFFs and even go shoe shopping together in one episode. I guess it goes to show that time - and shoes - heal all wounds. Justin Bobby being out of the picture doesn’t hurt either.

Audrina and Kristin try on some noticably cute shoes together at Madison in L.A. and I happened to find some of them. Since these girls tend to love their high-end luxe designers, I also found some similar shoes that cost a lot less for those of us not on a MTV-star budget. Let’s check it out:


Kristin Cavallari tries on the YSL Criss-Cross Ankle Strap Sandal, available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $795. For lower-priced alternatives, try these:

Bebe Stacy for $149 in black or brown at Bebe.com.

Steve Madden Averry in cognac, black, olive or orange for $89.95 on preorder at Steve Madden. Coupon code FF25 takes 25% off and adds free shipping, which makes them $67.46. The expiration of the code is unknown.


Audrina tries out Givenchy Open-Toe Ankle Boots, which you can get at Saks for $790. Here are some similar, but less expensive options:

Aldo Goodsite in black or cognac for $59.98 at Aldo.com.

Dolce Vita Lee for $201.25 at 6pm.
BTW, Audrina wears tan Prada knot sandals with her peach dress while on the shoe shopping excursion. You can find one size available at Shopbop, but I haven’t seen them elsewhere or any close lookalikes. Her dress is the Amanda Uprichard Joan for $194 at Piperlime.
 
Kristen also tries on a pair of black platform sandals, which we’ve seen her wear more than once. For instance, she wore these shoes on the MTV After Show with her black lace one-shoulder dress. They are the Miu Miu Swirl Platform Sandal, seen here at Polyvore:

It looks like they are sold out online. Here are some similarly swirly pairs that are available now:

Max Studio Soraia sandal for $118.95 at Nordstrom.

Jessica Simpson Genaviv in black for $46 or in cognac for $36.80 at 6pm. Additional sizes and colors are available at Amazon for $72.90 - $88.95.
Update: The platform sandals she wears while shopping are the Jimmy Choo Nixon, which are available in limited sizes at Bluefly, My Theresa and the official Jimmy Choo website.

In a promo pic for The Hills, Kristen wears a metallic wedge heel that looks like this Seychelles Kick Up Your Heels wedge:

It can be found at Endless.com for $89.95 with free shipping. Sizes are limited in pewter.

There’s also the Season 6 promo video for The Hills that features some of the cast hanging from puppet strings, as well as a pair of beige zip-front shoes. These shoes look really familiar to me, but I couldn’t quite place them (or find them). Update: These are the Christian Louboutin Zipette, which are sold out online. But, here are some lookalike pairs:

Calvin Klein Elise for $99 at Lord & Taylor. Apply coupon code BIG for 15% off at checkout through 5/23/10.

Jessica Simpson Gobow for $89 at Macys. Get free shipping with coupon code JOURNEY until 5/19/10.

Steve Madden Nanciee for $99.95 at Steve Madden. Use code FF25 to drop them to $74.96 with free shipping (expiration unknown).

 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!

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).

Chinese Laundry Ashanti in white or multi for $29.95 (originally $99).
The sale ends 5/9/10.

I’ve been talking about the shoes Siobhan Magnus wears on American Idol quite a bit lately because, as a shoe lover, I tend to notice shoes on TV and I also think she has a unique sense of style that stands out. While watching the Idol Gives Back show, where the contestants were dressed in all white, I saw that she was wearing this pair of cool pair of wedge shoes that have a heel cutout and a lace-up front:

I actually didn’t try to find these shoes, but while hunting for another pair, I happened to come across the Steve Madden Wyndi canvas bootie and instantly recognized them as the shoes Siobhan wore. Or, at the very least, they are very similar:

You can find these kicks at stevemadden.com, where they are sold in 3 color options for $149.95. Get free shipping by entering coupon code SMFREESHIP at checkout.

Since my last post on Siobhan Magnus’ shoes on American Idol, I found out that I must have been on the right track when I thought her white strappy wedge shoes were Jeffrey Campbell. Her shoes looked like a white version of the Jeffrey Campbell Polish, although I haven’t seen anything other than the black version anywhere. It could be another shoe completely; however, Siobhan most definitely wore another JC style in her March 23 performance. I found this out by going to the style section of American Idol’s website, where women’s stylist Soyon An and men’s stylist Miles Siggins talk about what the contestants wear each week. It’s a great place to go if you see someone wearing a must-have item on the show and you have to know where it’s from. While they haven’t covered the white wedge yet, I did find out that Siobhan wore Jeffrey Campbell paired with skinny jeans on the March 23 show (pictured above). That shoe is the Jeffrey Campbell K-Genius and it appears Siobhan is wearing the khaki version, which is out of stock in several places. However, you can find it on sale at Eilatan.com for $139.39 (reduced from $163.99) with free shipping:

Eilatan also offers the black pair with brown straps for the same price, but only one size is left, and the grey version for $147.49 with free shipping. Karmaloop has the grey pair for $155 and you get 20% off by applying coupon code CLINTON at checkout, which drops them to $124. Shipping is extra and the expiration date of the coupon is unknown.
Photo of Siobhan found on poptower.com.

Attention JC Tick fans! The Jeffrey Campbell Tick in tribal print, one of the many reincarnations of the popular style, is is back for round 2 at Karmaloop. The tribal version is exclusive to Karmaloop, so you won’t find it anywhere else, and it sold out really quickly the first time they offered it. They also have the Jeffrey Campbell Tick in black in stock again and both are priced at $150. Of course, you’ll want to use a Karmaloop coupon to discount your purchase and code CLINTON will take 20% off, making either pair $120. I’m not sure when the code expires, but I tested it and it works right now.
Update: It’s sold out at Karmaloop, but Eilatan also offers the Jeffrey Campbell Tick in tribal for $142.79. Apparently, it’s not exclusive to Karmaloop any longer. Singer22 also offers it for $264.
Now the question is: Will the Jeffrey Campbell Giggle Tic, the gladiator boot version that sold out even quicker, make a comeback as well? I’m thinking so. Update 7/8: It’s back in stock at Karmaloop.


Update2: Ooh, just found two more colors of the Tick that I didn’t know about at Eilatan.com, the Jeffrey Campbell Tick in bronze or pewter. Both are priced at $142.79, marked down from $167.99. Sweet! Also, Solestruck has the black Tick and the white Tick back in stock.

Update 3: The Jeffrey Campbell Tick in black and white zebra is now available at Solestruck for $179.95 (sold out).
Update 4: The Tribal Tick is back at Karmaloop.
