Yes that is an SATC reference.
I, like Carrie Bradshaw, have an obsession with shoes. Nothing seems to lift you up when you are feeling down like a new pair of shoes. They can make or break an outfit. So you can understand my strong desire to find the right pair for my wedding. I have been searching high and lo for a while now. I even forced Jürgen to spend a few hours looking with me. No such luck so far.
At the moment I am not keen on wearing white shoes. After all my dress is white, why not switch it up. Of course a deep blue shoe would be my preference but I cannot seem to find many that I like. One style I am interested in is:
It's classy with a touch of sparkle. I wonder if the bow would be annoying though, plus I am not sure if the heel is high enough.
Then of course there is the Carrie Bradshaw dream shoe....
Mr. Big (ugh, do NOT like him. I am such an Aidan gal) gave Carrie these in the movie. I could die, seriously. They are so beautiful. Probably too bright, and oh yeah they are Manolo's so they cost the same as a black market kidney. No go. But if I could find a pair like them. Oh where or where would they be?
Naturally the next choice in color would be silver (I feel like I am hitting people over the head with this theme). Some ideas:
Meh. It's pretty but I think it's king of boring? Am I wrong?
Another, similar in style, and similar in boring factor. zzzzzz.....
These would not work, but I was intrigued by the sapphire blue in the brooch. But they are too grey...
Another Carrie Bradshaw shoe
Again, I could die. These shoes were featured in the show bearing the same title as my blog. Carrie goes to a party (thrown by Tatum O'Neal back when she wasn't a crack addict) and she has to remove her shoes. At the end of the party they are missing! Gasp! And they are Monolo's! In the end she gets a new pair and jumps over puddles in the streets of the Big Apple. Yeah, don't deny it, you know the episode.
I could beat anyone in SATC triva, just try me.
Regardless, I LOVE these shoes. Notice a theme in style? They are classy and simple, yet they have a touch of pizazz that I like. These are not as expensive as the blue ones, but still maybe more than is necessary. Really? Maybe I could donate plasma or something.
Now I have found one pair of ivory shoes that I find pretty
I am just not crazy about them. Honestly, I want to get shoes I would actually want to wear again, so this feels like an important decision.
Also, I secretly want to change into crazy sneakers for the reception. I am a wimp when in comes to heels. Carrie would be terribly displeased with me.
Thoughts? Places to look? Help! (again!)

i see your SATC trivia challenge and while Carrie and the girls aren't my strong suit, I welcome a Gilmore Girls throwdown anyday.
Shoes...I totally empathise with your desire to get shoes you want to wear again. I love the deep blue and think a punch of color would be fantastic. But make sure they're comfortable!

Okay I know that I am way late on this, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. First Carrie's dream shoes do come in a darker blue. Also you did get a bit of triva wrong, because Big didn't give them to her, she bought them and left them in the closet he gave her, but then after them met in the closet he used one to propose to her.
Also Carrie's shoes from a woman's right to shoes comes in blue too!
