I can never tell the Olsen twins apart, but I’m thinking it’s Ashley Olsen that is rocking the yellow Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Pumps. First at the Tim Burton tribute event last month (left) and the Nine Premiere just last night in New York (right).

Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Satin Pump, $945 from Barneys New York

Satin pump with square rhinestone detail at taper toe. 105mm thin covered heel. Leather sole. Available in Yellow. Made in Italy.

Can you believe these Oscar de la Renta Estiva Black Slingbacks are only $153 at Portero.com? Retail Value is $695! And no, they are not knock-offs or replicas, but the real deal. What’s the catch you ask? They are pre-owned. Yep, as in “used”. And if you think about it, all shoes are “used” once you wear them once. No wonder so many people buy shoes from online auctions.

Portero.com is an authenticated luxury market that carries high-end brands of handbags, fur, watches, art and more.  Designer pre-owned shoes brands include Christian Louboutin, Sergio Rossi, Chanel, Rebecca Taylor, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada and more!

I LOVE the replicas! Maybe even MORE than the original Manolos, but even THOSE were too high for me! LOL. But in my endless search, I stumbled upon theses “blue beauties” by Mitzy Hachi-200 on ShiekhShoes.com. Although the toe is open instead of closed, they have that great bright Cobalt blue color that has been so hard to find! And they’re cheap too! =)

Mitzy Hachi-200 only $39.97 from Shiekh Shoes
Cobalt blue and satin’s finest! These dress heels are the ultimate feminine touch to any wardrobe! With a dash of sparkle, color and 3.25” heel, these pretty babies are ready for attention! (also available in Fuschia and Black)

Great find M. DiMonde! Keep the comments coming!

I was looking for blue heels when I came across these Manolo Blahnik Replica pumps.

Those do look very, very similar to the  Manolo Blahnik Blue Pumps (as shown below) that Carrie Bradshaw wore in the Sex and the City movie!

With the Sex and the City movie being released on DVD today, we’ve had several visitors write in and ask if where to find knock-offs of Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pumps (or the real deal is available for $945 from Neiman Marcus), so we’ve come up some alternatives for our fellow shoeaholics…

Exchange By Charles David Women’s Mod Pumps in Blue Satin ($23.99) 
Plus Pierre Silber Round Shoe Clips ($19.99)

Guess by Marciano Drifter Surf Suede Pumps, $99
Paris Hilton Crush Royal Blue Patent Pumps, $75
Lauren by Ralph Lauren Amaya Royal Blue Pumps, $89

More Jewel Shoe Clips available from MultiChic.com and TheFind.com  

I may never own a pair of actual Manolo Blahnik shoes, but I found the next best thing available for a fraction of the price that will probably end up giving me more shoe satisfaction!  Amazon carries these books: Manolo Blahnik Drawings and Blahnik by Boman: Shoes, Photographs, Conversation which would not only make great coffee table books in my bonus room, but I thought I could frame some of the pictures to hang in my house!

Miss Meghan reported that these Manolo Blahnik blue sation heels were custom made for the Sex and the City movie!  Update: These Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pumps are now available for $945.

Extreme Dior Gladiator Platforms,  $770
Carrie wears these in several colors during the movie (ie black, brown, gold metallic). Makes you wonder if Dior paid for product placement (Patricia Field says no).  But you can definitely tell Bag, Borrow or Steal (rented handbags) and Vitamin Water scored some air time.
