Dream Shoes: First Pair of Manolo Blahnik's

I am absolutely in LOVE, a few weeks ago I purchased my first ever pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear someone talk about Manolo Blanhik shoes, is SEX IN THE CITY, which made the brand very popular and a household name. Carrie Bradshaw aka Sara Jessica Parker's character owned several pairs of satin embellished Manolo Blahnik shoes, towing around NYC, as a successful writer. 

Meghan Markle is also another celebrity, royal, and high-profile woman who adores the shoes as well. I actually wanted a pair for years after Meghan Markle, began flaunting them around as a member of the royal family. These are the BEST shoes I own in my closet and collection. The style I purchased were the BB Pump in a cool tone gray color, with a heel size of 3.5 inches. The material of the shoes are a matte suede material, that is beautifully constructed. This definitely was a big splurge item for me, and luckily the shoes were on sale on the Nordstrom website, and I had an unused gift card from Christmas.

The heel size was a little out of my comfort zone however, the shoes fit like a dream. I have not worn them outside yet, just around the house, and there's very little to comfort to break in. When you put the shoes on it literally feels like walking on clouds. I love a stiletto heel and the slim length of the heel. The cool gray tone of the shoes complements my skin tone very well. My only con about Manolo Blahnik shoes is the fact that they do not come with shoe taps for the end of the heel. I purchased a pair of Badgely Mischka shoes in the past (the price point is more friendlier than Manolo Blahnik) and I received two shoe taps per heel. I just thought that it was a little daunting not to have a matching shoe tap, in case the current one will need to be replaced in the near future. 

Manolo Blahnik shoes can be found at high-end boutiques and department stores like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. These are not the exact style of shoes I have however, I linked something similar HERE.That's it pretty dolls have a wonderful day and week! Stay SAFE!
