About Me: With a degree in Theatre I never realized that planning a wedding was a lot like Theatre Management, until I started planning my own. I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.
I Heart Shoes
May 14th, 2008 @ 3:00 pm by Mrs. Cookie
My favorite Sex and the City episode is I Heart NY during Season 4. Not only do I love the scene where Carrie and Big are “twisting” to Mancini’s Moon River, but I also love this moment (above) where Carrie spies a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes to buy for her date with Mr. Big. Remembering this episode reminds me about my own experience buying bridal shoes!
When I began my search, I had a clear idea of the perfect shoes: blue peep toes with a covered heel that I could wear again. However, the search for the perfect pair of blue shoes was elusive. I searched high and low, but alas, I found only shoes in the wrong color or out of my price range. For example, these beautiful blue Prada shoes from (below) Little Winter Bride.
So, I turned to Sex and the City for some inspiration. In the episode Woman’s Rights to Shoes, Carrie gets a pair of Manolo Blahnik D’Orsay (seen below) shoes stolen from a party. Although not blue, her shoes were the exact style I was looking for, and fortunately, Dyables made a similar shoe for $100 that I could dye blue.
Bridal Shoes
Unfortunately, I tried the shoes on at a local outlet mall, and instantly knew that I could not dance the night away in these shoes as they were so uncomfortable. I was so disappointed! They were my perfect shoes, but I could not sacrifice style for comfort. However, fate had something else in store for my shoes. I decided to pop into Off Sak’s 5th Avenue while I was at the mall on a whim, and lo and behold I found these beautiful silver pair of Cynthia Rowley peep toe slingbacks for $69 that were super comfortable. Although not blue and not the exact style I had been looking for, the lining and soles of the shoes is a beautiful Tiffany blue, and I can wear them after the wedding. Even though I didn’t get the exact shoes that I wanted, I am satisfied with my decision!
I cannot have a post about Sex and the City without plugging the new movie coming at the end of this month! Enjoy the trailer.

cute shoes! and I actually like the CR’s better than the Dyables 
HELLLLOOOOO LOVER!!!! I love sex and the city!
I wanted blue shoes as well and they couldn’t have a high heel since I’ll be standing most of the day and our wedding is in my parents’ backyard. I went with the Nine West Falcoin in the light blue leather. http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7407162/c/72.html
I LOVE that episode of Sex in the City! One of my favs! Oh yea, cute shoes
Hahaha, that’s awesome! That’s exactly the scene I quoted when I fell in love with my pink wedding shoes.
My fiance knows the depths of my shoe love. And for a wedding/early bday present/something blue he bought a pair of suede Christian Louboutins!!!! He is definitely the man for me.
very cute CR shoes!!
Really? I bought those shoes for my wedding too and I think they’re extremely comfortable (ya know for high heels).
@Courtney: So cute! I would have bought those, but I need a heel as Mr. Cookie is a lot taller than me. @Maryring: A man who understands good shoes, I would say you’ve got a keeper! @crackhead: Yeah, the back rubbed my heel raw in the five minutes I was walking in them, but I am really glad they worked for you!
