This structured satchel handbag by Chloé struck my eye as soon as I saw it. It’s a combination of dark leather with a feminine and ladylike shape. Truly a staple, it can be paired with anything whether one is simply strutting down the streets or heading out to a fancy evening occasion. One of my favorite aspects of this satchel is the gold metal clasp, due to its simple yet beautiful ornamentation. The price tag, however, is certainly questionable and generally unaffordable for the everyday woman. Nevertheless, the look-a-like may steal you away!

Urban Expressions “Noel” Bag
HOT DEAL: Use promo code “JUSTCAUSE” to receive 15% OFF your entire order + Free Shipping over $50! Limited Time Only!
First off, this “Noel” handbag by Urban Expressions is already one my favorites because of the hardware detailing. I admire all handbags that are nicely structured and have understated metal hardware. Mimicking a similar silhouette and overall concept of the real deal above, it’s hard to believe that this handbag is only $65! As much as I love the black version below, there truly is something spectacular about the navy faux leather option with gold-tone appliqué!

Burberry is currently leading the fash pack and if you ask me the success began with Christopher Bailey’s S/S 2009 collection. Remember all those pastel ruched trenchcoats? Perfection! Just like these pretty satin peep-toe platform booties!

Dollhouse “Phillyn” Peep-toe Ankle Boots
While these ankle boots by Dollhouse don’t come in the delicate blush satin as shown above, they do come in black or taupe satin and are almost spot-on knockoffs of the Burberry booties.

Office “TAKE IT” Strappy Boots
And for all our Burberry fans in Europe and the UK, shoe e-tailer Office didn’t miss out on the Burberry train as well and came out with a surprisingly similar pair.

Doesn’t it seem like everyone—and everything—named Fernando is just drop dead gorgeous? Gaga may not want to be your babe, Fernando, but I sure the hell do, especially since your last name is Louboutin. Really, does Christian Louboutin make anything but spectacular shoes with equally spectacular price tags?

Anne Michelle CULPRIT-02 Sandals
Maybe Fernando has you all hot-and-bothered too, but at more than eight bills, it’s likely that for most, Fernando will remain a figment of our fantasies. I can’t produce a red-soled twin for you, but the CULPRIT-02 Sandals by Anne Michelle are a decent stand-in. With their criss-crossed look and bootie-esque feeling, you get the same styling—and for less than $40, you could probably be rocking them with a mini as soon as next weekend. Also available in black, cognac & grey.

Pelle Moda “Lexy” Platform Sandals
And here’s another version with a bit more sparkle: the “Lexy” Platform Sandals by Pelle Moda. This pair could actually go fully formal, which might be just what you need if you have a summer of weddings and parties planned. Available in black, silver & pewter.

There’s nothing like a simple black heel. Well, except a not-so-simple black heel—like these platforms with quirky ruched heels by Miu Miu. I’ve always loved the idea of wearing a classic silhouette or piece, then throwing something unexpected in the mix. These totally gorgeous heels are pretty standard fare, until you see the heel, and that’s what personal style is about. Adding in your own little suprise.

Steve Madden “Flawwles” Platform Pumps
These platforms by Steve Madden aren’t dead-ringers for the Miu Miu pair above, but like the more expensive pair, detail on the heel also delivers an unexpected twist. They would look amazing with a pencil skirt that enables a full, unobstructed view of this shoe.
