The actress summoned her inner Carrie Bradshaw to collaborate with, who else?, Manolo Blahnik, for her debut

Where and When Can I See them For Myself?
Debuting exclusively at Nordstrom shoe salons on February 28, the SJP line can be yours -- for a little more than a song.

Which is not to say that Parker and the Blahnik folks are out to bankrupt fans of the line. But, remember, these shoes are made with nothing but the finest materials and peerless craftsmanship.

What's With the Ribbon?
At one point during her day of shoe delirium, King asked "What's this?" about the "tiny ribbon tab" she found on the side of a shoe.

Parker explained; "When I was growing up, we really didn't have two nickels to rub together, but my mother always made sure that my sisters and I had two grosgrain ribbons in our hair. The rule was that we ironed them every single morning. We even had a special bureau dedicated to hair ribbons." She touches the stripe of ribbon on a jade green Ina. "I have them for my own daughters now, and my nieces wear them too."

How Much is That Stiletto In the Window?
When it came to pricing her line, Parker was sensible. She knew that if people were going to be shelling out big bucks for a pair of shoes (they range in price from just under $200 to just under $500 -- with the average price point settling in between $250 and $350) they'd have to be a good investment.

"Those are hard-earned bucks, so I really tried to give women beautiful silhouettes and colors and excellent quality for their money. I didn't want to do anything that says, 'Oh, these shoes are 2014.' I want my shoes to be part of your world for a long time to come."
