Leopard Print 2.0 – Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

by Irina on February 18, 2011

2010 marked the year where leopard print was taking over the fashion world. Suddenly it was all about animal print shoes, bags, accessories, clothes. Now it’s 2011 and the trend is still going strong. And what’s better is that by now mainstream fashion brands have caught on to this trend, so nowadays we not only have out-of-the-world priced designer options but actually affordable styles we can slurge on without feeling guilty. See our top 12 shoe picks below and let us know what you think.

Real vs. Steal – Prada Peep-toe Wedges

by Vanessa on July 12, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 11, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

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.

If you like the look, but wanna try on a wood exposed heel for a more casual vibe, Nine West makes the perfect version.
