OK, fine. I’ll just come right out and say it: “I’m in love with this damn wedge already!“. Sparkle has always been my bestie. And this amazing wedge by Signore Giuseppe Zanotti is making me want to buy it dinner. Well, maybe just a salad because this lil’ glittering baby is 455 Euros! I’m sorry, but my money is in dollars; which means this is about $615! Waiter, check please… I’ll need to check for a cheaper copy!

Pleaser Luster-20 Glitter Wedge Pumps
UPDATE (02/18/2012): Just stumbled upon these gitter wedges by Pleaser. If you compare these to the bebe “Omega” ones, you will see they are dead-on identical, so I guess the Pleaser version is just a rebrand of the bebe shoes with a nicer price point.

bebe “Omega” Glitter Wedge Pumps
It’s official, I hereby pledge Omega Phi What-A-buy! The Omega Wedge by bebe is a great look-a-like. Just missing the ankle-strap. But who cares, it’s so much more affordable. Available in black, fuchsia, gold or silver glitter and black satin.

Wow! Can you possibly imagine walking in these Giuseppe Zanotti E26035 Peep-toe Ankle Strap Wedges? Once I can get passed learning how to walk in these, the beauty of this wedge should become second nature. Certainly, there is a great amount of appeal, and the pale hue is very original and gives this wedge an extra flair. But for $585, these shoes become more of an investment than a simple addition to your footwear collection, therefore scroll down to see the steal!

Featuring a similar style are these Lipsy “Trinity” Peep Toe Wedges; for one, I can’t ask for anything better. As much as I love the nude color scheme, these are also available in gold glitter for a touch of pizzazz and classic black suede, which is an obvious staple. Plus, did you notice the super cute charm by the mary-jane strap?

Personally, I think Valentine’s Day is stupid and I try to ignore it as much as I can. On the other side though, any excuse that lets me do some imaginary outfit shopping at Shopbop is more than welcome, so below you can see my favorite picks. Let me know what you think of V-Day, whether you celebrate it or not and most importantly, what you’re going to wear to impress your Valentine (assuming you do celebrate this day, of course).

These ladylike slingbacks by Giuseppe Zanotti are perfect for a Spring day. Their soft red color and wooden stacked heel is equal parts boho and girly. Just think about all of the fun outings to which you’ll be wearing them! I am envisioning myself at a French café, sipping on a hot cappuccino and chocolate croissant. The only drawback about my lovely daydream is the not-so-dreamy price of the shoes. But not to despair, you can be sure we’ve found the best alternative yet! Check out the fabulous steal below…

These Steve Madden candy-colored peep-toes offer just the same amount of playfulness, while still giving the appearance of super long legs with a coyly hidden platform and flattering slingback closure. It’s as if they were made for flirting! But that’s not all; with the price of this pair you can indulge in various café treats all season long.

Colorblocking has been trending for the past few seasons, and while mainly neon and bright colors have been featured for Spring, Giuseppe Zanotti brings us a toned down and more classical version in a shoe. Though these E10180 Two-Tone Ankle Strap Sandals don’t exactly coincide with the colorblocking concept, the idea of incorporating two tones, hence the beige and black, is there. Simply put, I find these to be super chic and elegant. Another perk is that they are currently on sale for $246.99 in comparison to their colossal original price of $550. Still not in your budget? Then check out the steal below.
