Hey, just because we’re experts at looking stylish in less, or digging for fashion in bargains, that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate or covet, for that matter, High-End designer goodies. Like the most notorious lover of ‘em all, Manolo Blahnik . Here’s an introduction to his Resort Collection. From the ubiquitous patents, to the criss cross, buckled and knotted details to the shiny sequined tones, Manolo Blahnik Resort Collection delivers that magical pull every shoeholics(present company included) seem to fall over for.

I would kill for the red Satin Cross d’Orsay and Leopard Buckled d’Orsay. Well, not literally kill, but you know what I mean… LOL.

We might be familiar with the name Manolo Blahnik, but do we really know him? Like, what’s his nickname, or his comfort food, or his pet peeves and raves about trends and fashion. Well…

Thanks to Neiman Marcus InSite, we can somehow dissect what makes Manolo tick.

Favorite comfort food: Chocolate mousse.

Favorite trend of all time: I’m really not into trends, but I’m somehow moved by the 1960s.

Favorite word: Vogue.

What current trend would you like to disappear: Those horrible, vulgar heavy shoes.

Favorite music: Egyptian.

This comes is sizes 5 to 11. It is exclusively sold at Neiman Marcus so hey, what are you waiting for . I will never be able to afford a Manolo Blahnik but a pair is always going to be on my luxury wishlist until someone gets hit in the head with ton and tons and tons of bricks and suddenly buys me a pair, heh.

Are you drooling? Don’t worry, so am I
