Every year I allow myself to splurge on one pair of boots. Because while I can totally handle super cheap summer shoes, having at least one pair of high quality winter boots is super important to me. These wedge boots by 7 For All Mankind sure meet the criteria of being high quality footwear. I love the mix of leather and suede and the wedge makes the heel height more mangageable. But $375? That indeed is a splurge!

Enzo Angiolini “Baki” Mid-Calf Wedge Boots
UPDATE (09/21/2011): Found a mid-calf boot version of the 7FAM Ora with a slightly less pointed toe coming from Enzo Angiolini. Available in black, brown and taupe leather/suede.

Nine West “Daley” Wedge Boots
So how about these boots by Nine West instead? Now $199 is still an investment, but I’d say it’s a reasonable price for a high quality boot. And you get the absolute same look for almost half the price! Available in black, brown and grey.

Olivia Munn looks amazingly polished in this nude chiffon top, black leather skirt and YSL Tribtoo slingbacks! I must say it’s very nice to see her in actual clothing as opposed to a bikini shoot for Maxim magazine. I mean, she does have a rockin’ body and is definitely able to pull it off. But, I honestly think it’s refreshing to see how put together she looks. My favorite part of her outfit is the skinny leopard print belt! The outfit just wouldn’t be the same without it. And who wouldn’t love those grey patent YSL pumps? Well, I’m sure not all of us can have Olivia Munn’s budget, so here is our take on her look and let us know what you think.

Everyone should own a perfectly tailored leather jacket. I think it’s a staple and will NEVER go out of style. So it’s worth making a small investment to make sure it will last you for several years, maybe even decades. I’m sure this Balmain quilted leather jacket would be still in style 10 years from now, but oh boy, 13k for a jacket? I know leather always comes at a price, but this is blatant usury.

This quilted leather jacket by Haute Hippie isn’t necessarily a Balmain twin, but the influences are clearly visible, don’t you agree? The jacket is quite pricey at almost $1000 retail price, but it’s still 13x cheaper than the original.

Another great alternative though not quite as close as the HH version is this quilted leather jacket by Bebe. I’m so digging this jacket, it’s ridiculous. And $259 for a real leather jacket isn’t a bad price. I even managed to find this $50 OFF coupon code for you which will take a significant chunk off the price. Yay!

I totally love Topshop‘s theme of black leather against nudes and camels, so I decided to create my own outfit featuring various Topshop new arrivals. What do you think of my color theme? Yay or nay?

This look of Kristin Cavallari maybe not one of her most recent ones, but I still remember it quite well because I really liked how she mixed the feminine nude lace tank with a sharp black leather pencil skirt, a few key jewelry pieces in gold and neutral accessories (bag + clutch). Check out my budget-friendly take on Kristin’s look below.
