Loving Your Choos - A Guide to Caring For Designer Shoes

Filed under: Shoes

Perhaps you, like me, are an avid collector of shoes and have experienced moments similar to Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw's "Hello, lover!" greeting upon being magnetically drawn to a pair of shoes in a store window. Perhaps you are lucky enough to possess several pairs of these beautiful objets d'art. Whether you own one pair or 150 (seriously), like any great relationship, you are going to make the one with your shoes last by giving them lots of care. Let's consider what happens once the moment of initial attraction has subsided. You move from the fantasy of imagining the shoes in your life to the reality of commitment and all the related costs and benefits that entails. How to make this love last?

Pre-newshoewear Agreement-- From the outset, a serious plan for preventative shoe care is in order. First, examine your new beauties (quickly, don't get Carrie-d away). Look at the materials used - are they suede, leather or fabric? Match the type of material to the recommended protective spray. Be sure to hold the can at least six inches away from the shoe and spray lightly moving steadily over the entire shoe. Leather shoes should be polished before wearing them and afterward on a regular basis. A helpful source for these products is www.kiwishoeshine.com.

The elaborate Vivienne Westwood wedding dress Sarah Jessica Parker sported in the "Sex and the City" movie didn't bring Carrie Bradshaw any luck but that hasn't stopped women from wanting it. Now, for two days only Gabriella Risatti, owner of Gabriella New York bridal salon in the Meatpacking District of New York City is making reproductions of the dress for $15,000 tomorrow and Thursday only. Risatti tells the NY Post that they will be taking measurements for those two days but only making 30 dresses.

Sarah Jessica Parker's SATC "Roger" Belt

Filed under: Apparel

The clothes in Sex and the City: The Movie are apparently as much characters as the four friends. Sarah Jessica Parker noted in a recent TV interview that she had 81 costume changes! One of her favorite accessories was a belt that she said was around so much that she named it Roger. Die-hard SATC fans and Carrie wannabes can get the "Roger" belt at Streets Ahead. There are four "Roger" styles that range from $180-$250, and there's a "Charlotte" belt too, for $118. These prices sure are higher than SJP's Bitten line. It also seems that Miranda and Samantha aren't cool enough to get their own belts. See the gallery for photos and prices of all five styles.

Sex in the City: The Complete Series

by Anne Metz (RSS feed) —

Most people over the age of 45 can remember where they were and what they were doing when President Kennedy was shot. Most people under the age of 45 can remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Kurt Cobain had killed himself.

But if you're female and single, the moment your most likely to latch onto was the first time you ever watched HBO's landmark show Sex and the City.

Me? I was stuck at home in blizzard with two feet of snow outside my door. A friend urged me to rent the series and, despite my initial resistance, I did.

The rest, as they say, is herstory. From that first episode I was hooked on the clothes, the actors, and especially that ridiculous way Carrie Bradshaw managed to include the phrase, "And I had to wonder, blah, blah, blah" in every single episode narration.

The good news is that now you can relive all of the magic with The Complete Sex and the City collection, neatly packaged in a bright pink box -- pink, you know, for girls. Girls who, like me, have an easier time remembering the season in which Miranda got knocked up by Steve (Season Four) than which year President Kennedy was shot.

Was it 1962? Or was it 1963?
