Balenciaga vs GoJane vs bebe

Balenciaga is one of my favourite shoe designers! And not only for me :) They always look unlike anything others. Unfortunately, they’re hardly affordable if you’re not a celebrity… These amazing heeled gladiators are available in black and yellow:

Fortunately, you don’t need to spend $1245 for them. You can cash alternative just for $31.50!!!

At GoJane shop you can find them in yellow and black:

Moreover, you can find them in green and pink! With the price, you can buy even several pairs!

For me, green and yellow win for summer. Which of them you choose?

UPD: at bebe you can also find alternative in turqouise, orange and tan.

Retrospective to Balenciaga Fall 2006: Inspired by Mary-Kate

Mary-Kate Olsen has unique and very specific fashion style. Somebody love it, others hate. Well, it’s ok. I personally adore her over-sized dresses and tees, her trenches and especially her shoes. Can’t wait her own shoe collection. Of course, not only me love her looks, one of my gentle readers asked me to find similar to Mary-Kate boots.

Let’s look at these boots on Mary-Kate:

Careful reader and fan of Mary-Kate notices, that she’s wearing the boots for a while. I mean they are not from last collection. And that’s good, I mean she is a sort of devoted person who wears the piece many times, despite several seasons passed.

I’m sure you also like them :) Wanna have similar but for less money?

The Fall 2006 Balenciaga ankle boots look as they never go out of fashion. They always look stylish and complicated:
