Shoe Dupes: Revisiting "Something Blue"
Remember I had a post a while ago about shoe dupes for the Manolo Blahnik Hangisi "Something Blue"...made famous by Sarah Jessica Parker in the "Sex and the City" Movie???
Nevertheless...I struck out on finding the Manolo on Ebay for a reasonable price. And I was leery of buying "dupes" from Chinese manufacturers who really didn't want to take PayPal. (Yeah..never do business with those folks).
Instead...I looked all around and found this one from DSW.com from Audrey Brooke.
Anyway...it is quite similar. Granted the broach isn't as magnificent as the one on the Manolo "Hangisi"...but this shoe has a sensible heel...is also satin and about 4"inches . Unlike the Manolo, it has a synthetic sole rather than leather.... (but really..who is looking at your soles that hard? A hater that is who! LOL).
Anyway...get on the shoe. I turned a few friends on to it and they def ordered it. It is a DSW.com online exclusive which means it isn't sold in stores. And while I lamented that I was on a debt diet..I did order these shoes. Who knows when I will be able to get a sensible and affordable dupe for my dream shoe.......
Get you some! Wedding Season is fast approaching and you will def need a "something blue!"
