Hello boys & girls, you should probably know that YSL is AOK in my book! In the last couple of years their accessories (especially their shoes) have really become the “It” piece in any fashionable girl’s closet! Clearly, this is old news to those who have these beautiful slingback pumps like the six famous fashionistas below. But for those whose moniker is budget fashionista and wallets are facing some trial & tribulations, well, you and your pretty lil’ broke self (I say this with love) just keep on reading for a less expensive version of the Tribtoo slingbacks.

It’s lust at first sight! I love the color and the gold hardware on this Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag! I suppose us SD girls share similar taste! Rebecca Minkoff was also born and raised in San Diego, CA and you won’t catch not one celebrity not sporting this super fab bag! The Morning After Bag is the perfect size and it essentially comes in any color your heart desires! Priced at $525 it’s not the most priciest bag I’ve ever seen, but if you want something a little more affordable here is a second option…

ASOS Boxy ’70s Bowler
The ASOS Boxy ’70s Bowler bag will give you the same look and it’s only priced at $60.34! I actually love the green coloring on the bag and the gold studs are a nice touch!

Get this: we have a steal on the real, a steal like the real, then a whole other deal. Confused? What I’m getting at is that the bondagey, bad girl Sigerson Morrison Huarache Stiletto Sandals—which originally retailed for $995—are now going for $394.20. Better, but not so cheap, I know. Of course Sigerson Morrison never was. So keep reading…

Enzo Angiolini “Beehive” Sandals
So what’s the difference between the Enzo Angiolini “Beehive” and the Sigerson Morrison Huarache? Not much outside of $294 and change. There’s your steal. Available in black & nude.

Farylrobin “Emily” Sandals
And finally, another deal: For a more sensible, less sexy version of the Huarache/Beehive look, check out “Emily” by Farylrobin. It’s not an inexpensive shoe, mind you—but if you can’t do stilettos, you can still get the same strappy styling with this pair. Not bad if you need a cute vacay sandal that you can can tour in by day and wear with a sundress at night. Available in black, nude, brown & orange.

Oh, how I adore French Connection‘s “Spot the Dot” dress. The colors remind me of a watercolor painting depicting a spring night and I love how one half of the dress is a gathered, Grecian, one-shoulder but the other half is a bustier – so flattering! The tiered mini-skirt will transition you perfectly from your shopping/coffee date to that dinner/drinks soiree. Don’t start making plans quite yet, though! This dress is, to our mutual chagrin I’m sure, completely sold out.

LuLu*s Spring Bling Dress
Are you heartbroken by the news that the French Connection dress is sold out? Well fear not, trusty fashion side-kick! We have an excellent replacement for you. Just have a look at this LuLu*s “Spring Bling” dress. I think you’ll agree that this is a stellar knockoff of the FC frock. With more wines and grapes than cherries and blueberries, this is a darker version of our above pick but I would say one equally worthy of your adoration.

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 27, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.
I love me a hot pair of statement heels. Probably a bit too much since my shoe closet is full of impractical stilettos I rarely wear because I lack the ability to walk in them properly. Still it’s nice to know they’re there. I’d love to add these red patent slingback pumps by Christian Louboutin to my ever growing shoe collection. They are so sexy! So summery! So high! And so out of my budget!
