Out & About

Many people and celebrities alike have that specific “out-the-door handbag” which is often both fashion forward and easy to carry around. Currently trending is this Metal to the Petal Flap Pouchette by none other than the cross-body handbag specialist Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s everything that I could possibly desire in a handbag; featuring gold embellishments and being the perfect size whether I’m leaving out the door or preparing for a grander event. Unfortunately, the price of $248 is simply too expensive for me, thus we have a great alternative which is both chic and budget-friendly.

ASOS Bird Across Body Bag

ASOS has always been one of my favorite stores because I can always find what I need for a lesser price and the clothing is still very stylish. Confirming that theory is this Bird Across Body Bag. Though it’s slightly different than the Marc by Marc Jacobs cross-body bag above, it still features similar ornamentation like the bird appliqué and gold hued embellishments. Besides the more affordable price of $35.81, it is available in mint green and lilac.

ZiGiny “Kerry” Satin Platform Pumps

Just as gorgeous and classic as their muse, these ZiGiny pumps are the signature shoes of a confident, stylish, and very intelligent girl, especially considering the price. Of course they are an investment, but when buying timeless pieces it’s OK to spend a little more than you would on trendier items. Just imagine how often you’d wear them, I certainly have.

A long way away from her High School Musical days, Ashley Tisdale steps out in an outfit composed of both some urban and rocker pieces. Her edgy ankle boots are an unexpected addition to an otherwise casual and tomboy-ish outfit. She finishes off the look with a fun necklace and bright accessories to show off a little of her playful side. Ashley’s combination of style elements tells us she is a laid-back girl with a sense of humor. Want to channel some of Ashley’s style? Pick up one or all of her outfit pieces revealed below.

Talk about statement shoes! These sparkly Miu Miu peep-toe booties are a definite conversation starter with their fun and flirty disco vibe. The lovely suede cross-straps make them look vintage and the shape of the glittered heel invites the wearer to feel whimsical yet confident with every step. Due to popular demand by celebrities and trend-setters everywhere, this pair sold out almost immediately upon debut. But not to worry, you can still be the Dancing Queen at the party by wearing the amazing steal version below.

To Be Announced “Alvarez” Glitter Booties

Getting excited by this great look-a-like by To Be Announced? All you need is a sleek black jumpsuit and you’ll be turning heads everywhere you go in these new standout kicks. They are still an investment at $199.95, but if you already have the basics and want a wild card to add to the mix, these are definitely it. Here’s a tip: If you love this style but are not sure about the color, choose a pair in midnight black and wear them with opaque black tights and a cute mini dress. Colors available are silver coral, midnight black and silver yellow.

Signore Giuseppe Zanotti, te amo! Or, to be a bit more specific: I love your shoes! Especially those extreme platform wedges from your S/S 2011 collection. We’ve already shown you the peep-toe version of this wedge and today we’re going to show you a great Zanotti alternative for the equally gorgeous closed toe version.

Sam Edelman “Quinn” Wedge Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): Squeal! I just stumbled upon the perfect Zanotti look-a-like by Sam Edelman. The heel height on these here is somewhat lower, but I actually prefer them that way because it makes the shoes more wearable and less dangerous imo. Available in red or black suede.

Dollhouse “Brik” Wedge Platform Pumps

Wild Pair “Lola WP” Wedge Pumps

So, how great are these Zanottis on a budget by Wild Pair? Quite spot-on I’d say, even though I would love them more if they had kept the suede platform. But at $95 I’ll just keep my mouth shut and put them into my cart ASAP (sizes are already starting to sell out, so you better hurry to make your order). Available in red or black suede.
