We all remember that scene in Sex and The City, episode “I Love NY”, where Carrie walks by a pair of Christian Louboutin pink waterfall heels and croons “Hello, lover!” Of course you do. We all do. It’s in our DNA. These shoes will evoke the same reaction and, luckily for you, they are easily avail via the world wide web.
#1: The Classic Pump, Updated
Kate Spade ‘Licorice’, $328
Kate Spade never fails. Ever. Spade has taken the classic and iconic pump design and amped it up a notch by adding that ever-so-needed bit of sparkle. This spectacular heel comes in ruby red (for those who believe that there’s no place like home), a midnight blue (for those who wish to match the majesty of the stars), and a pastel pink (for the little girl in us all who began playing dress up years ago) – there is a color to bring out the sparkle in us all.
#2: The Platform Pump, Dorothy-style.
Charlotte Olympia ‘Dolly’, $795
Charlotte Olympia has become known as the new queen of the platform pump. The telltale design of a crown and logo on the bottom of the shoe has become just as recognizable as the famous red soles of Christian Louboutin. If you’re feeling like letting your inner strut loose these are the heels for you.
#3: Rene Caovilla and The Mandatory Whimsy.
Rene Caovilla Open Toe heel, $1,365
Unlike most designers, Caovilla takes the shoe styles we have all come to love and has added her special brand of whimsy; beckoning back to the days of a young Carrie Bradshaw. Fresh, fun, colorful and feminine, Caovilla simply must become a part of every woman’s closet. Trust me. You’ll thank me later.
#4: Valentino Takes D’Orsay Up a Notch.
Valentino Bow Couture Pump, $745
No one ever accused Maison Valentino of being bland, and when it comes to this D’Orsay bow pump, the classic silhouette has been reborn into a style so chic, so eye-catching, it can only be seen to be believed.
#5: Carrie’s ‘Urban Shoe Myth’ (Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes)
Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes, $855
The Mary Jane. No closet is complete without it. It goes with everything and anything. It’s black, sleek, and will never go out of style. Just like Carrie, you will instantly fall in love with the Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane and you may never put it down again. After all, an urban shoe myth such as this must be kept on display for all to admire..and for you to proudly claim that it is indeed a reality and in your possession.
