Whenever I wear a pair of pointy-toed shoes or boots, as I did this past weekend, my husband is prone to making comments along the lines of “Well, I can see which boots you’ll be wearing on Halloween.” This type of none-too-subtle witch reference is not lost on me. There are even those who categorically hate all pointy-toed shoes and use the phrase ‘Witch shoes’ dismissively. As for me, I simply shrug off any negativity regarding this classic style - as would anyone who has ever been lulled by the siren call of the perfect pair of pointy pumps. That perfect pair of witch pumps works its own spell on you so that you are unable to resist their particular charm.

Here’s to being the best-dressed witch in the neighborhood.

Manolo, Armani, and Weitzman, Oh My.

So many sweet pretties. *Cackle*

Okay, now that I’m back to Earth and off my broomstick, my Never Pay Retail budget tendencies are kicking in. So, here are a few somewhat more affordable alternatives for those of you currently situated in more of a bargainista than fashionista mode.

Daniblack ‘Viceroy’ Bootie Pump $112.50 $150.00at Zappos.com

Carlos by Carlos Santana ‘Vintage’ $78.00 at Zappos.com

In the end, I’m very tempted to grab these truly funky NYLA Knee-high Boots.

I’ll get you, my pretties.

We’ve seen pictures of Carrie Bradshaw wearing the Dior Extreme gladiator sandals (left) and the python heeled Proenza Schouler (right, available at Net-A-Porter for $685) in the SATC movie (btw, are you as excited as I am that it’s almost Friday? ).

But what happened to some of her favorite shoe brands? Never fear, Carrie stays ‘Choo’ to those shoe brands as well.

For a SATC Movie ad, Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing the seven strapped Jimmy Choo Atlas sandals, $750 at NetAPorter .

Remember the episode called ‘A Woman’s Right to Shoes‘? It’s the SATC episode where Carrie was asked to remove these silver Manolos while attending a baby shower. At the end of the party, she’s shocked to discover the shoes were stolen.

They were the Manolo Sedarbys and the style is making a reappearance in the movie in the form of the Manolo Blahnik Sedarby Zebra d’Orsays. It’s a real sticker shock if you recall that the shoes on the show were going for $485 and that Neiman Marcus was selling the zebra version for $675 AND they are already sold out.

I don’t think it was a coincidence that Melania Trump was seen wearing the same Manolos at the NY Sex in the City Premiere.

Update: Ms. Meghan is reporting that these blue Manolo Blahniks with huge silver buckle have a central role in the movie.  They also happen to be the first shoes that Manolo made expressly for SATC.
