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

manolo-blahnik-booties

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.

Manolo Blahnik cap-toed booties, $895

Sex and the City fans will have instantly recognised the shoes on the right of the image above as the shoes Carrie wears in the movie.

And everyone, SATC fan or not, will have instantly recognised the shoes on the LEFT as more or less exact copies of the Manolo Blahniks, minus that extra bit of Blahnik style. No?

Quite how this one didn’t get Martinez Valero sued is beyond me but the designer-inspired shoes are $164 from Zappos, while the Manolo originals are $945 from Bergdorf Goodman.
