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.

Packing my Walking Shoes for NYC

Posted by kim on December 14, 2009

I love visiting New York City! I try to schedule a business trip to attend a conference in “The Big Apple” at least once a year.  And every time I go, I like to experience something new.

Next year, I think I may go on a one of the many offered New York walking tours. Native New Yorker Bruce Scher personally leads local food tours in New York City’s most unique neighborhoods. The Greenwich Village Food Tour is only $34 and includes a 6 course lunch, including cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery made famous from Sex and the City!

So next time I’m venturing to NYC, I’ll pack my walking shoes! Or use that excuse to buy a new pair! Hmmm, do they make a shoe tour?
