I usually drool over the new Manolos, but this collection less than dazzled me. There aren’t any shoes from the collection that I can’t live without…and that makes me a little sad. (Although it makes my husband VERY happy!)

Here’s a sampling from the new collection sold at Neiman Marcus:

There all just a little too subdued for my taste, but I’m sure there are lots of women out there who would love these. Manolo Blahnik is definitely more well known for the classic shoes than the show-stopping, center-of-attention shoes Louboutin makes.

But I will say that I’m blessed to own a pair of both Manolos and Louboutins and I actually wear the Manolos far more often. Maybe I’m more of a classic kind of girl than I think…
