Is This Man The New Manolo Blahnik?

I honestly thought Christian Louboutin was the new Manolo Blahnik, as evidenced by the fact that they wore Louboutins obsessively in Sex and the City 2 (a terrible movie I have probably accidentally watched six or seven times).

The Most Absurdly Expensive Things Carrie Bradshaw Bought

You know what I found puzzling about Sex and the City? A lot. But one of the things I found most bizarre was when Carrie gets so giddy she faints because someone bought her an Oscar de la Renta dress. Because didn’t she essentially buy an Oscar de la Renta dress herself for every episode? The Frenemy has already calculated how hugely in debt Carrie would be, we take a look at some of her most absurdly expensive purchases. More »
