So I’m a little obsessed with this woven leather wedge by Givenchy. I think it’ll be a great look to have in your wardrobe and it will go with just about anything! From your cut-off shorts to your long-fitted dress, this shoe is a must have! But I know it can’t be a must for everyone. Especially since the price tag is as high as $1.212! Hence keep scrolling down for a more wallet-friendly option.

MIA Limited Edition “Sambuca” Wedge Sandals

I really like the rust color of this MIA Limited Edition “Sambuca” Wedge. Such a summery color and really fun to wear. Especially if you want that pop of color! The shoe also comes in ginger and antique brown though as well. All three colors are great options to get the Givenchy look down. Priced at ~$111, I think this wedge is a smart choice.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E00334 Sandals

Sometimes shoe designers have a look. You see their shoes and immediately can shout out the brand, whether or not you’ve recently viewed the collection. Though it makes a fun game, it’s particularly challenging to play if Giuseppe Zanotti is what’s in front of you. Each season the shoes are sexy and sophisticated, but constantly evolving. They never look too much like a season before. Take these sandals for example, fresh and new – it’s like your foot got all tangled up in a few belts, but in a cool way, obviously.

DV by Dolce Vita “Cleo” Strappy Sandals

If the Zanottis are a bit out of your range, then DV by Dolce Vita can come to the rescuse, again. The mid-priced collection is constantly creating great quality looks for less than the name brand. What I love most about the DVs is that they aren’t trying too hard. Sure, they take style cues from the big boys, but they add in their own twist like the great stud detail below. Available in brown, black & natural.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Prorsum Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket

by Vahni on November 14, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 14, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Is there anyone out there who wasn’t crazy about some aspect of the Burberry Prorsum fall/winter 2010 collection? From the draped, ruched mini dresses, to the over-the-knee boots, to the completely delicious cropped shearling jackets—it was a sensation at the minimum, iconic at the max. And you can see why. The Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket looks like a cloud in the form of a clothing. If I could justify $3.5k for it, I so would.

Well now, even that is no obstacle. Behold the Lipsy Faux Sheepskin Aviator Jacket, ladies. This brown faux shearling is cut beautifully, and is the perfect topper for a skinny ruched mini, or even jeans and a tank. And at a mere £85, you’ll be looking like Burberry Barbie in no time.

Heel of the Day – Vince Camuto Braden Boots

by Irina on October 18, 2011

Vince Camuto‘s “Braden” boot is probably the best combination in terms of quality, price, comfort and style factor. I love all the colors and finishes but my favorite pick would have to be the taupe suede version. The perfect boot for any Fall outfit! Love, love, love!

Real vs. Steal – Frye Veronica Slouch Boots

by Irina on October 14, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 14, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Let’s be honest. When it comes to shoe shopping 9 out of 10 times when we freak out about a pair and start squealing “Oh my God! These are to-die-for!“, it’s about those gorgeous, embellished, satin peep-toe stilettos also known as the shoes we almost never wear because a) they’re too high b) not appropriate for everyday wear or c) just too precious to be worn (I mean, you don’t want to risk getting them scuffed, dusty or rained on, right?). Don’t get me wrong: I love my sky-high pink stiletto sandals with all my heart, but whenever I storm out the door I most probably am not wearing these. So last year, I wanted to be reasonable for once and thus forced myself to get flat and comfortable boots. And surprisingly, I went home with 2 beautiful pairs. Both were very similar to Frye‘s Veronica boots below and I just can’t tell you how much I love them. They’re extremely comfortable, keep me warm during winter and look super stylish as well. One of the best purchases ever! I get so much wear out of these.

Steve Madden “VERONNA” Buckle Boots

I recently discovered these Steve Madden boots and thought they’d make a wonderful budget-friendly option if you can’t afford the real deal. The style is almost identical and even the name of the boots sounds similar to Frye’s. The boots are currently marked down to $99.95 (was $159.95) and come in either black, brown or brown distressed.
