Red Carpet

This structured satchel handbag by Chloé struck my eye as soon as I saw it. It’s a combination of dark leather with a feminine and ladylike shape. Truly a staple, it can be paired with anything whether one is simply strutting down the streets or heading out to a fancy evening occasion. One of my favorite aspects of this satchel is the gold metal clasp, due to its simple yet beautiful ornamentation. The price tag, however, is certainly questionable and generally unaffordable for the everyday woman. Nevertheless, the look-a-like may steal you away!

Urban Expressions “Noel” Bag

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “JUSTCAUSE” to receive 15% OFF your entire order + Free Shipping over $50! Limited Time Only!

First off, this “Noel” handbag by Urban Expressions is already one my favorites because of the hardware detailing. I admire all handbags that are nicely structured and have understated metal hardware. Mimicking a similar silhouette and overall concept of the real deal above, it’s hard to believe that this handbag is only $65! As much as I love the black version below, there truly is something spectacular about the navy faux leather option with gold-tone appliqué!

Wow! I can’t really describe these Christian Louboutin Duvette Metallic and Patent-Leather Pumps in any other way. Far away from demure, these pumps are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour and spark nostalgia within me. There is something special about these pumps that I can’t quite get a grasp of. The cutouts embossed with gold truly bring luxury to the table, and as usual the sophistication of this shoe is what makes Louboutin so iconic. If you’re as head over heels for these pumps as I am, than the steal below is simply a must see!

Ivanka Trump “Gurdian” Pumps

Ivanka Trump is really becoming the superwoman of this century, adding another occupation to her résumé. But I have to her immense credit because I love the “Gurdian” Pumps. The snakeskin pattern on the golden panels really adds a nice flair and shows her take on this unique design. These pumps are faux replication at its best and for $94.99 are worth every penny.

One of the most distinctive shoe styles of 2011 have been Giuseppe Zanotti‘s extreme wedge styles for me. I’ve loved them the second I saw them online. They do scare me a lil’ bit with their crazy 6 inch heel, but I still want them in my closet so badly. Not convinced yet? Check out the celebs letting their Zanottis do all the talking and I’m pretty sure they’ll land on your wish list, too.

I’m a big fan of Stella McCartney! Very much like with Prada and Miu Miu I might not approve of EVERYTHING that is shown on the runways, but when I find myself liking something from these designers chances are high I really, really LOVE it. Case in point: Stella’s “Maia” cork wedge from last year. Despite the remote resemblance of Birkenstock shoes I am still highly attracted to this wedge. Also, how genius is the pink lining? It’s small details like these that can turn a good shoe into a truly great one. What’s not so great about it? Oh yeah, I forgot… the steep price of $735. Also the fact that it’s sold out.

BCBgeneration “Crespo” Wedge Sandals

Thanks to BCBGeneration, we can now rock our own Stella McCartney wedges for a fraction of the price. Their “Crespo” wedge sandal is an almost identical copy of the “Maia” even though I wish it had the same hot pink lining as the original. But at $71.99 I am not one to complain. Available in gold, stone, black/white and light peach (shown below).
