Sequins + X ( x meaning anything) = FABULOUS! I adore sequins! It’s such a girly fabric. Even at my age of… grown ;-) , I can appreciate the glitz & glamour of it all. C’mon, who doesn’t need that in our otherwise ordinary lives? That’s why, at first glance, this sweet sequin dress by Alice + Olivia put the biggest smile on my face. The price tag however? Not so much. I can’t say it’s overly expensive, but when a girl can save a few duckies, why shouldn’t she? So if sequins is your name and glamour is your game, check out our alternatives below.

These shoes aren’t meant for long walks, but rather, to be candy for the feet. Slick and feminine, these heels by Jimmy Choo are definitely built for style. But aren’t there times in our lives when the Wow!-factor is exactly what we crave? Okay, there are many times – and for those instances, shoes like these were made. But is the price tag worth the amount of mileage they’ll get compared to the rest of your collection? We can relate, so keep an eye out for a copycat below.

Real vs. Steal – Charlotte Olympia Priscilla in Stripes Suede Platform Pumps

by Roseanne on April 7, 2012

Lately, prints and colors have grown in popularity among fashion. With the current trend of mixing and matching prints, Charlotte Olympia presents these Priscilla Striped Suede Platforms. The combination of two similar hues exhibits colorblocking at its best. And while the lilac with magenta and sea green with aqua versions are more on the fun side and even candy-like, the black ones are irresistible and sophisticated. Although they are sold out, we have an affordable alternative below that can help you achieve a feminine and sophisticated look.

I love these “Brilliant” pumps by DV by Dolce Vita. They seem so fun to wear, adding a nice touch of vibrancy to a monochromatic outfit and extra boldness when mixing with other prints. The colored versions would have to be my favorite since the climate is becoming warmer; therefore, I am trying to incorporate some color into my wardrobe. As an affordable alternative to the “Priscilla” Striped Platforms, not only do these pumps share a similar appearance they are also affordable with a price tag of $89!
