Summer Wedge Sandals: Stella McCartney vs Asos

anna — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:58:31 +0000

I bet you have a lot of wedges (if you like wedge style, of course), but you cannot have enough of them. They’re usually so comfy and stylish.

This time we take a look at Stella McCartney’s wedges. They’re from the last season collection, however, it doesn’t matter so much. Stella is an adept of vegan style, so this pair is made from faux leather. Unfortunately, it’s not available at US Outnet website anymore, but you still can have these wedge sandals at EU Outnet:

In case you would like to pay less and get more, I’m talking about leather material, here is and affordable version available at US Asos and EU Asos. These wedges are available in blue (US, EU), white (US, EU) and coral (US, EU):

What do you think? Would you pay for it? Or you’d prefer Stella McCartney’s version?

These lovely canvas wedges are perfectly made for some romantic summer outfit. I see the with white wide leg pants and a big straw hat, and you guys? What look can you have with these?

Yves Saint Laurent Deauville canvas wedge sandals are available in navy and creme in many stores, the price is the same $695.00. You can purchase the navy sandals at Net-a-Porter and SaksFifthAvenue. If you like creme wedges more, then go for Barneys and Bluefly. In the latter store the price is a bit less, just $556.00, they offer a little discount.

But there is always an affordable option! Take a look at these navy, creme and black canvas wedges by Steve Madden, the price is just $79.95!

Of course, you guys can say the original are more classy, and it’s true! But I think it’s nice sometimes to save some money and still get a nice item.

Leopard Pumps: Lanvin vs Ash vs Jessica Simpson vs LuLu’s

anna — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 23:34:55 +0000

Leopard printed accessories can help to fresh many looks, but I think it’s necessary to be careful and not to overload the outfit with the prints. So I would just wear one animal printed item and mix it with some neutral dress. And you? Do you like mixing prints together?

These Lanvin Leopard Pumps are available at Kirnazabete with a very nice discount. They are made of pony leather and decorated with back asymmetric detail:

Or you can have less expensive, but not so cheap version at Shopbop:

Chanel vs Jeffrey Campbell

anna — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 13:35:50 +0000

Ready to Wear Fall 2010 Chanel collection was incredibly amazing! Karl Lagerfeld presented an arctic scene where models demonstrated shaggy boots with iced heels and very extravagant outfits. Since Chanel items are not available anywhere else but Chanel shops, I don’t know the exact price for these lovely fur boots. But I found a great affordable alternative by Jeffrey Campbell. Compare?

No surprises these boots look amazingly warm and cosy, I really love them. But I’m sure not many people can afford them. Moreover, they look a bit of unpractical when there is a slush outside. My second finding compensates this shortcoming by leather toe.

They look at least not worse than Chanel boots, and suit to the weather much more! You can purchase them at Karmaloop shop:
