Sex and the City

Real vs. Steal – Brian Atwood Loca Studded Pumps

by Irina on February 7, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 07, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I’ve been a huge fan of Brian Atwood for a few years and now that SJP flaunted her lilac Locas in the newest Sex and the City installment, it seems like everyone and their mother does love his shoes as well. Brian really stepped up his shoe game lately and these studded platform pumps with clear panel are sick! In a good way. I love the contrast between the feminine lilac color and the kickass sky-high heel and gold studs. Too bad they’re way out of my budget at $800 a pair.

Hypnotic “Parker” Studded Pumps

These Hypnotic “Parker” pumps are a dead ringer for the Brian Atwood Locas. They come in 5 colors including taupe which is the closest to the original lilac, black, grey, red & blue faux suede. The black and grey version popped up on Shiekh Shoes today and you better head over and place your order immediately as these have sold out within hours at a few other retailers already. I couldn’t even write a quick post before they were all gone, so I held back until I saw a fresh restock and well, here you have ‘em. They’re quite cheap at only $49.97. Now don’t waste your time reading here and grab ‘em quickly!

In Sarah Jessica Parker’s Closet – Brian Atwood Loca Studded Pumps

by Celine on March 23, 2010

What came first: Sarah Jessica Parker‘s amazing sense of style or Sex and the City? Not quite sure what the answer to that is, but I do know that anytime SJP is seen in public, she really wows. Not only does she have a seriously kick-ass body that looks good in all sorts of styles, but she really takes risks too – some that really pay off, some that fall a little short. Here she is (with Cynthia Nixon) on the set of Sex and the City 2, looking every bit the fashion-forward NYer that she plays (and IS). My favorite part of the outfit, without hesitation, are those Brian Atwood Loca pumps. The gold studs are so very “now” and OMG that divine platform and d’orsay heel. Not cheap at $800, but most certainly stunning.

In Sarah Jessica Parker’s Closet – Halston Heritage White V-Neck Jersey Dress

by Irina on January 21, 2010

We’ll have to wait a few more months until we get to see the celluloid fashion extravaganza that is Sex and the City 2, but if you cannot wait until May to get your Carrie fix, how about shopping her fantabulous wardrobe as a fill-in? Last September Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted strutting the streets of New York as Carrie Bradshaw in gold encrusted Louboutins, a delicate white v-neck dress by Halston Heritage with a gold Chanel box clutch and mirrored aviator sunglasses. SJP looked absolutely smashing, and from what I’ve seen up ’til now this is my favorite Carrie outfit from the movie. Film execs seemed to have been equally impressed with SJP’s resort look. Apparently so much they put it on the official movie poster. Me likey!

Real vs. Steal – Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pumps

by Irina on September 23, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 23, 2009. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I know you’re going to love this! Remember the gorgeous blue Cinderella-like Manolos Carrie wore at the end of the Sex and the City Movie? Yeah, I couldn’t get them out of my head either. The classic design and the bold blue hue make them great contenders for your favorite formal footwear.

Sex and the City Loves Manolo Blahnik

In the movie Carrie said they cost $525, but due to the vast demand retailers almost doubled the price to outrageous $925 making them a fictional purchase only for most of us shoe addicts who are living on a budget. What a bummer!

RSVP “Zaza” Blue Satin Pumps

UPDATE (09/23/2009): Stumbled upon these awesome Manolo Blahnik knockoffs by RSVP today.

Look what I found! If you missed out on the Martinez Valero heels or just couldn’t justify the $160 price tag, these satin pumps by RSVP look almost identical, but are $60 cheaper. Available in blue, black, ivory and white. Grab these knockoffs while you can, I’m sure they are going to sell out super fast.

RSVP also has a flat heeled version of the Manolo Blahnik look-a-likes called “Cassiecj” ($99) which looks exactly like the Martinez Valero version except with a low heel.

Shiekh “Mitzy Hachi-200″ Satin Pumps

UPDATE (09/23/2009): Another alternative to the Manolo Blahnik Something Blue satin pumps.

I know these satin pumps by Shiekh aren’t exactly knockoffs, but the blue satin and the vamp embellishment reminded me of the Manolo Blahniks above and since these here resemble the Sedaraby pumps by Blahnik famously worn by Carrie Bradshaw a lot, I thought I just put them here as a budget-friendly alternative for under $50. Also available in pink and black satin!

Martinez Valero “Zenith” Blue Satin Pumps

Do not despair however! Because Martinez Valero has finally heard our prayers! He came up with an almost identical pair of his own blue satin pumps which also have the vamp embellishment, but cost only about 1/10 of the original Manolos. So if you are in need of beautiful yet affordable bridal shoes, these here might be your best bet. But hurry, once the masses get wind of these Manolo Blahnik look-a-likes, I guarantee you, they will be gone in a minute!
