Real vs. Steal – Tory Burch Carla Beaded Sandals

by Velicia Hill on November 2, 2011

First a little gossip. Did you know that Tory Burch is dating one of the pioneers of hip hop? Yep. Who knew? Gosh, I do love a woman with an edge. Just when I thought I could put Miss Tory in a box, she goes and surprises me. Not only with her men choices, but with her edgy Carla sandal as well. And look, no signature logo emblazoned across this heel anywhere. Well, you won’t actually get to see it because this beauty is sold out – at $495 no less. But we did find a pretty impressive steal below.

Liliana Candela-17 T-Strap Sandals

As the head buyer for my own company, I saw this heel at Liliana, placed the order then canceled. Who knew it was a Tory Burch knockoff? A pretty good & cheap knockoff at that – only $40! Between me and you, the bronze/gold color is the best. Enjoy ITC readers in a variety of colors: black, pewter and bronze/gold.

Tory Burch always has some pretty killer shoes. I am particularly fond of this pair as it does not scream “TORY BURCH.” Usually her shoes are covered in the Tory Burch logo. so it’s nice to see a bit of a change. I’m also loving the natural tan color and and who doesn’t love an espadrille platform? The only thing I’m not too fond of is the price. Retailing at $350 I think we can do a little better…

DV by Dolce Vita “Florence” Espadrille Sandals

I’m actually a big fan of DV by Dolce Vita and I think this shoe is not only the perfect price but has also the perfect look. The “Florence” espadrille also comes in a black color that’s just as fabulous as the nude. Priced at $94.50, I think this shoe gives more bang for your buck!

I never paid that much attention to Tory Burch until now, but these lace-up boots here definitely put her on my radar. I like the masculine shape, the buckles and chunky heel and I think they’d look fantastic if paired with a feminine floral dress to balance out the look and put in some extra contrast.

Dolce Vita “Joelle” Boots

UPDATE (08/28/2010): These lace-up boots by Dolce Vita are a rather pricey knockoff, but they’re still less than half the price of the originals & also not sold out.

Dollhouse “Rogeri” Lace-up Boots

UPDATE (10/31/2009): Found another, much cheaper Tory Burch knockoff pair by Dollhouse which also looks more like the original actually.

RSVP “Beatrice” Lace-Up Boots

While these boots by RSVP might not be blatant knockoffs I think they still qualify as a great alternative if you are looking for a cheaper version of the Tory Burch boots. They are not quite what I’d call a steal at $169 a pair, but still about $430 less than the originals. Also available in brown (my personal favorite!).

Fab Friday 5 – Vahni Edition

by Vahni on July 23, 2010

So this is my first Fab Friday 5 post, and I’m totally excited (and not just because it’s Friday)! Every week I come across so many delicious things during my Internet wanderings, and now I finally have a place (and people) to share them with. Hope you enjoy exploring this selection—wishing you all a happy weekend.

Fab Friday 5 - Vahni Edition #001

The Breakdown:

  1. LOLA&BAILEY Long Live McQueen Tote, $49 – A clever—and cheeky—version of the classic expression that is also an homage to one of England’s greatest exports. Originally sourced by notcouture.com.
  2. Vera Wang Lavender “Gabriella” Sandalsls, $425 – Kind of like a shorter version of the oh-so-covetable Gucci Helena boot.
  3. Afterglow Wing Knuckle Duster Ring, $70 – I love a good knuckle duster, and this one in sterling by Afterglow is so cool, don’t you think?
  4. NET-A-PORTER Magazinels, Free! – Even if the prices are beyond your budget, NET-A-PORTER’s online magazine is a visual feast that is chock full of style inspiration. And it’s weekly, so you can get your fashion fill between monthly print issues.
  5. Tory Burch Lucite Cuff in black, $45 – A little avant garde, a little tough girl chic. Buy two and sport them Wonder Woman style, to really make a statment.
