Shoes on the Screen: SATC2 Chic on the Cheap

Carrie On

Do you remember what made you fall in love with Sex and The City? Was it Charlotte's naivete, Miranda's assertiveness, Samantha's unapologetic lust for life or Carrie's inner hopeless romantic? For me it was all of that... plus the fashion and the SHOES! When the fierce foursome hit the big screen for the first time in 2008, Manolo Blahnik's "Something Blue" pumps stole the show. However, for Sex And The City 2, wardrobe designer, Patricia Field shod Carrie and crew in a number of heart-palpitating pairs.

Those who can't shell out Christian Louboutin and Brian Atwood bucks can nab similar styles for a fraction of the price. (NOTE- Shoes N Booze does NOT advocate knock offs, but we have no problem with affordable fashion taking a cue from higher-priced designers.) Our sole sisters at MyShoes.com (a pretty cool shoe search engine) tipped us off that their shoe stylists will be more than happy to help you find SATC 2 style on a shoestring budget. Here are a couple to start you off...


Lace has been a huge trend for Spring/ Summer 2010, and the Christian Louboutin Bridget Strass booties (or her sister, the Bridget) have been spotted on the feet of everyone from Scarlett Johanssen to Khloe Kardashian... and Carrie Bradshaw. (Image via Shoeblog.com)

They may be tough to acquire for those without a boldfaced name or a platinum card (they cost $3,325), but the Dollhouse Tano is an easy score (at $49.95- $54.00).

If you're more into stud love, the lavender suede Brian Atwood Loca pump (which Carrie wore with cropped jeans and a plaid shirt) will send you into a frenzy. They're $800 at Net-A-Porter. (Image via Shoeblog.com)

However, if you'd like a similar style with less of an investment, Steve Madden's Twilitte has it nailed (and costs $99.95 or less).

Which shoes were your favorite from the Sex and the City 2? I may be able to help you find a similar pair for a pocket-friendly price.


Yours Shoely,
