Tag Archives: manolo blahnikManolo Blahnik asymmetric Gotico bootiesWhen I spotted these shoes at Neiman Marcus, I immediately thought they looked like the kind of thing you’d see being worn in some kind of period drama – or on the feet of the wicked witch in Snow White. That peaked front either says “supervillain” or “well dressed aristocrat from ye olden days” and I’m not quite sure which. Not that it matters, mind you: I love them either way and while I’d love to wear them with something like a tailored, 40s style suit, complete with matching gloves and hat, I think they’d work just as well with more modern pieces. Like them? They’re by Manolo Blahnik, they’re £895, and you can buy them here. Most wanted from our sponsorsManolo Blahnik jewelled satin skimmers: Carrie’s wedding shoes, but flat!Remember the bright blue Manolos which Mr Big used to propose to Carrie, and which she wore at her wedding? They were called ‘Hagisi’, and if the heels on them were too high for your liking, well, here’s the flat version, available in that same blue satin (and also in black), and retailing for $945 at Neiman Marcus. Now, that’s about $900 more than I’d generally consider paying for a pair of flat pumps, even an “iconic” style that comes with a crystal brooch on the toe – in fact, I think I’d probably want that brooch to be made from diamonds for that price – but what do you think of these? Manolo Blahnik green suede ‘Deci’ peep toe pumps
Well, OK, I take that back: I can think of a couple of designers who’d give him a good ol’ run for his money, but the fact remains, this is one of Manolo’ Blahnik’s signature styles, and I think this green suede version is particularly delicious, but then, I would, considering my great love of all things green. If you don’t love green, these also come in navy and black, and all three colours would be a worthy addition to any shoe closet, I’m sure. Want them? They’re $665 at Barneys. Manolo Blahnik pink grosgrain bow slingbacksIsn’t it amazing the difference a splash of bright pink can make to a shoe? These Manolo Blhanik slingbacks would have been pretty enough in black, say, but my eye would possibly have glossed right over them, in search of something a little more attention-getting. In pink, however, they suddenly become something special, and it’s fair to say they grabbed my attention, anyway, with the little bow on the heel being the perfect finishing touch. I also love the fact that the straps are made from grosgrain ribbon – so pretty and feminine! These are $695 at Neiman Marcus.

Manolo Blahnik ‘Pog’ wooden flower clogsSo, these are… not exactly what we’ve come to expect from Manolo Blahnik, are they? Can’t quite imagine Big proposing to Carrie with one of these bad boys. Still, clogs are very much du jour at the moment, and these are certainly clogs. With flowers on top. Very hippy-ish, a little bit childlike, totally colourful and… $685. Well, they don’t really look like $600 shoes to me, but perhaps they do to you, and if that’s the case, you’ll want to head over to Neiman Marcus and snap them up. Oh, one other thing before you go: they’re called “Pog”. Yes, “Pog”. Isn’t that brilliant? I think we have our new Word of the Week, folks. I challenge you to use it in a sentence at least one time today… Ashley Olsen in Manolo Blahnik’s Hangisi court shoes
Before I go any further here, I should probably hold my hands up and admit there’s a good chance I’ve got my Olsen twins mixed up. I often do. I think that’s Ashely on the left, though, and I know those are Manolo Blahnik’s on her feet, so let’s just concentrate on the shoes… These are Manolo Blahnik’s Hangiski courts, and you may remember the blue version cropping up in the Sex & the City movie, with Big using them to propose to Carrie. I wasn’t crazy about these shoes when they first came out, but I really like this yellow version. I know the Olsen’s come in for a lot of criticism, and their style definitely isn’t to everyone’s taste, but I’ve always liked them too. And I’m sure I’d also like Mary-Kate’s shoes – if I could actually see them…
Manolo Blahnik cap toe booties with bow detail
Look! These boots can levitate! How amazing is that?! OK, maybe not. They’re still a great pair of boots, though: I, of course, can be relied upon to appreciate the bow at the front and the nude uppers, but I’m also really liking the cap-toe trend that we’ve seen a fair bit of recently, and these are a nice, smart pair of boots that you’d be able to wear to dress up a pair of jeans, or with a skirt or dress, too. They’d look particularly nice peeping out of the bottom of a pair of wide-legged trousers, and the colour should make them very versatile, too. |
