I’m a big fan of Stella McCartney! Very much like with Prada and Miu Miu I might not approve of EVERYTHING that is shown on the runways, but when I find myself liking something from these designers chances are high I really, really LOVE it. Case in point: Stella’s “Maia” cork wedge from last year. Despite the remote resemblance of Birkenstock shoes I am still highly attracted to this wedge. Also, how genius is the pink lining? It’s small details like these that can turn a good shoe into a truly great one. What’s not so great about it? Oh yeah, I forgot… the steep price of $735. Also the fact that it’s sold out.

BCBgeneration “Crespo” Wedge Sandals

Thanks to BCBGeneration, we can now rock our own Stella McCartney wedges for a fraction of the price. Their “Crespo” wedge sandal is an almost identical copy of the “Maia” even though I wish it had the same hot pink lining as the original. But at $71.99 I am not one to complain. Available in gold, stone, black/white and light peach (shown below).

Cobie Smulders may have slipped under my fashion radar for quite a while, but when I saw her rocking a pair of bright green A.L.C. cigarette pants along with a white sheer blouse, also by A.L.C., and neutral colored heels I couldn’t help but be absolutely smitten by the effortless elegance of her look. Find out below how to rock a similar ensemble as Cobie.

So I know I blogged about Yves Saint Laurent‘s Palais pumps before, but the yellow version is just so lovely I had to dedicate them a post on their own. I remember first seeing them in yellow on The Shoegirl’s blog who called them her banana shoes (haha, so true! ;) ). I have yet to purchase my first pair of yellow shoes… do you own yellow shoes? I’d love to make these YSLs mine, but a) they’re so sold out by now and b) even if they weren’t, they’d be way out of my regular shoe shopping budget, so off I was to search for a more wallet-friendly alternative…

Kelsi Dagger “Abrielle” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (11/17/2011): These Kelsi Dagger pumps are probably one of the most blatant knockoffs I’ve ever come across, but I kind of love them. Why? Because they’re way more accessible at $79.99 than at $700+. Available in yellow, orange, green, blue and black suede as well as black patent.

Promise “Lego” Platform Pumps

As with the blue Palais version, Promise once again comes to a broke fashionista’s rescue. But at that time no one had this knockoff in yellow which changed recently when I spied these YSL look-a-likes at Heels.com. Yes, it’s more of a mustard color than a true sunshiney yellow, but at $54.99 I won’t be the one to complain. Also available in black or fuchsia faux suede.

Not that it’s ever been much of a secret, but today I’ll come out of the closet and out myself as a big Olivia Palermo fangirl. There, I said it! Now I usually don’t fall for socialite fashion, but Olivia is way too talented in the style department to be ignored due to her status of being-famous-for-being-famous. Not quite sure if she actually does anything productive besides attending what seems an endless string of fashion events and cocktail parties and, of course, strutting the streets of New York looking ultra busy while talking into her cell phone, but she sure looks impeccably styled doing so, wouldn’t you agree? My latest Olivia obsession is this classic yet fashion foward outfit which she wore a few weeks ago – love it head-to-toe! Especially the printed Paige Denim skinny jeans and the gorgeous flower ring by LeiVanKash. It might be the Olivia factor that makes it oh-so extra desirable, but I’d love to wear each and every single item she wore here and try my best Olivia impersonation.
