Real vs. Steal – Prada Studded Cross Strap Platform Sandals

I just adore a studded shoe. Well, truth be told, I’m loving a studded anything right about now. Thankfully there are more options this century than there were in the last one—we’ve moved beyond Bedazzler hideousness and full-on rocker paraphernalia. This lovely Prada sandal is a fab example of studs done right. There’s a hint of rebellion, but also a sort of 40s sensibility in the shape and structure of this shoe.

N.Y.L.A. “Naigel” Studded Platform Sandals

Yes, it’s true: celebrities (and even us mere mortals) love Prada. But the thought of stepping in a puddle or a crack while wearing a $636 suede-covered heel? Uh, I know that’s an idea I don’t love. If you’re of the same ilk, allow me to introduce “Naigel” by N.Y.L.A.. Now you can have all the studded, criss-crossed moxie of the Prada version, in a more resilient and less-expensive leather pair.

My favorite Prada pieces are the kind that are classic for years to come, so this pair of wedges can slide right into the “for keeps” pile. Perfect for the working girl or the one on the go and available in 2 colors – or rather neutrals!

ALDO “Kupiec” Wedge Pumps

Prada should call ALDO and get their shoes back. Oh wait, those weren’t ripped right off the designer shelves? Obviously not, since we devote our days here to giving you the look for less! Prada’s peep toe wedges are I-DEN-TI-CAL (caps and dashes for emphasis) to the Aldo Kupiec wedges, with a price that will allow you to buy 15 pairs for the price of one.

Real vs. Steal – Prada Studded Platform Slingbacks

by Irina on July 8, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 08, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

I never paid much attention to Prada shoes because they never seemed to be that noteworthy. For me, it was all about Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada’s younger contemporary line which seemed to always outshine her bigger sister in the footwear department – that was until now. I recently discovered some really neat Prada heels which I instantly loved. Take these studded platform slingbacks for example. I love the chunkiness of the platform & heel!

Steve Madden “CARMENAA” Studded Slingbacks

If you like the Prada slingbacks, but can’t afford spending so much on shoes, Steve Madden has a great and almost identical knockoff version of the studded Pradas. They have the same stud details, the same shape and even the same chunky heel. The only noticeable difference (apart from the lower price) is that the Steve Madden slingbacks are suede. Hmmmm, I think I’m going to order a pair of these for myself.

In Audrina Patridge’s Closet – Amanda Uprichard Joan Dress

by Vanessa on June 9, 2010

Since we got our first glimpse at Audrina Patridge on The Hills, her style has been trendy with an edgier/rocker influence. While filming a recent episode of the reality show in Los Angeles, Audrina gave her signature look a rest and put on something light, airy, summery and overall very feminine. Audrina’s silk dress is by Amanda Uprichard and the great thing about this designer is that if there’s a demand, she will work hard to meet it. Audrina’s dress sold out quickly, but has been re-cut so no one misses out.
