by Irina on May 2, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 2, 2012. Scroll down to read the news.

Acne‘s Atacoma wedges have been lusted after and obsessed over countless times after Alexa Chung has sported a pair on her now cancelled MTV show. They sold out as soon as they hit the virtual shelves of several online shops, have been restocked again, then sold out again.

While these wedges by Jeffrey Campbell are not as high as the Atacomas and also don’t have the silver platform, overall they are still a good and affordable alternative.

Shoe of the Day – Topshop APRIL Nubuck Chelsea Boots

by Irina on April 27, 2012

Alright, I know I already proclaimed my love for a pair of Topshop Chelsea boots just recently, but now that I’ve seen APRIL I know what true (shoe) love is. And yes, it has been decided that these are going to be my next shoe purchase. Yay! But since I already blew my shopping budget this month, I’m going to have to wait until next month’s payday before I can bring them home. The black version it will be because I have rather short legs and wear a lot of black tights during the colder seasons, so it’s the most practical choice for me. The cognac colored pair however is almost just as heavenly. Wish I could buy them both!

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Elsie Medium Satchel

by Roseanne on April 27, 2012

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!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Duvette Metallic and Patent-Leather Pumps

by Roseanne on April 27, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 27, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

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.
