Join Splendora and meet MANOLO BLAHNIK in the Shoe Salon at Neiman Marcus Union Square on Tuesday, September 16th. We will be sipping cosmos and coveting limited edition reissued masterpieces from the Manolo Blahnik archives and the Fall 2003 Collection. It will be like a fantasy episode of "Sex and the City" where Carrie and the gals meet the master and go on a shoe buying frenzy. So sneak out of work early, bring your whole paycheck, and get ready to indulge.
