This dress by Marc Jacobs may be already a few seasons old (Resort 2009 to be exact), but that doesn’t take away from its beauty. I remember falling in love with this one shouldered silk dress back in 2008 when I first saw it on Victoria Beckham who wore it to the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards (the Oscars for fashion designers).

Jovonna Pure Silk Heart Cut Out Dress
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, try this dress by Jovonna. It isn’t one-shouldered and doesn’t have a black satin sash, but the heart print is almost identical and it’s also made of 100% silk like the Marc Jacobs dress. A great dress for the perfect holiday outfit.

Every year, weeks before the holidays I start dreaming up my perfect festive holiday outfit. I always try to incorporate some red, green and gold into it so I would look like I am part of the christmas tree decor. This year, I think I will go with an emerald green dress, gold accessories and red shoes. These red Giuseppe Zanotti cork platform pumps below would make the perfect shoes for my holiday outfit, but even though they’re on sale (original retail price $688) they’re still too pricey for me.

Nine West “Chocolata” Platform Pumps
If you’re trying to save some cash for the holidays, but don’t want to cut back on your style, try these red Nine West platform pumps instead. Yes, they replaced the shiny red patent leather with a basketweave textured upper, but everything else (the straps, shape and cork platform) is pretty much the same as on the real deal. They’re also so much cheaper and come in either red, black or blue.

Everyone who follows this blog for a while should be aware of my everlasting love for everything Alexander McQueen – especially my love affair with his shoes. His creations are always so stunning and unique. Take these gorgeous white satin peep-toes for example. If I was to marry anytime soon, I would definitely choose these as my bridal shoes and feel like Cinderella in a fairy tale.

RSVP “Lovely” Satin Peep-toe Pumps
If the real McQueen crystal heels don’t fit within your wedding/shopping budget, go for these budget-friendly satin peep-toes by RSVP instead. They’re called “Lovely” and that’s exactly what they are. Absolutely lovely! I’m so, so, so in love. Now I know they do miss the front crystals, but everything else looks almost identical. And they come in an array of adorable colors such as baby blue and fuchsia, too. I cannot make up my mind which one is my favorite!
