In Taylor Swift’s Closet – ModCloth & Sam Edelman

by Irina on August 29, 2010

Taylor Swift‘s style can be defined as 100% girly-girl. Whenever I see pictures of Taylor she’s either wearing something frilly, sparkling, ruffled or anything with a bow on top. Take this outfit for example which she recently wore while being at a church in Maine. Curly hair? Check. Girly dress? Check. Cute shoes? Check. Et voilà – a typical Taylor Swift look. Bonus: To recreate Taylor’s exact look, you won’t have to spend more than $200.

Deal & Heel of the Day – Sam Edelman Zoe Boots Reduced & for 20% OFF!

by Irina on July 26, 2010

UPDATE (07/26/2010): Finally, the regular price for the Zoe boots has dropped to an almost reasonable $199. But this price ain’t good enough for us. We found a way to get these darlings for the awesome price of $159.20 including FREE SHIPPING! Just head over to Shoes.com, put the Zoes in your cart, enter promo code “SHOEDEAL” which takes off 20% and voliá Zoes for under $160 which is less than half the price of the regular, re-introduction price. Yay! But hurry, the promo code is only valid until the rest of today, so get shopping, ladies!

If you’re acquainted with the style blogger blogosphere you’ll already know that Sam Edelman’s “Zoe” Harness Boots have made quite a glorious comeback last year and have landed on dozens of wishlists from fellow shoe addicts ever since. Unfortunately these Balenciaga-esque booties were reintroduced with a price tag that’s pretty hard to swallow: $350! Ugh! And up until now, more than half a year later, these are far from going on sale. People just keep buying them full-price. And even if you’re lucky enough to find these booties on sale somewhere there’s either only size 10 left or the shop is out of your size before you can complete your order.

But, finally, you have a chance to get these booties for a whole lot less ($280 instead of $350; you’re saving $70!). Lord & Taylor is currently running a promotion where you can take 20% OFF regular and sale price items and they happen to have the Zoe boots in all sizes available right now. Just enter coupon code “SIMPLE” at checkout and save a big chunk of cash! But hurry, the offer is set to expire tomorrow (03/15/2010). Oh, and did I mention you’ll get FREE SHIPPING as well? Score!

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Studded Clogs

by Celine on July 13, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 13, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Now I really try not to jump on every trend that comes wafting my way but I gotta tell ya, clogs had me at “Hello!“. I have no real excuse for this. I’m not Dutch. I didn’t grow up in the 70s. But they call to me. There’s something so easy and carefree about them. Even when they’re sporting a 5 inch heel. There were a couple of designers that really caught my eye in the clog department this past S/S 2010 show season, but Miu Miu definitely tops my list. Look how cute they look on fashion blogger, Rumi, below. I love how the bridge of the shoe looks like it’s been worn down some; and I love the studs. I love, I love, but I can never afford. Boo! In any case, these are – not surprisingly – completely sold out.

ASOS “PROMISE” Leather Studded Clogs

ASOS and I are friends and I’ll tell you why. Because they always make great versions of the celebrity shoes and clothes I lust after. We can clearly see where they got their inspiration from when it comes to these leather studded clogs. The heel is obviously much thinner and the leather doesn’t have that worn-in look but I just think they’re astounding. The cognac leather looks wonderfully luxe and the arch is perfect. These are sure to make your legs look a mile long. They are also so affordable compared to the originals. I heart them!

Heel of the Day – Sam Edelman Lorissa Spiked Pumps

by Irina on June 28, 2010

While I love my bow pumps and frilly, ruffle-adorned satin shoes sometimes I want something with an edge. Something dangerous, aggressive, mysterious. Something that says “This lady is not to be fooled around with.” Sam Edelman‘s Lorissa pumps certainly fit into the latter category. Their spikes and gem encrusted heels will make for a spectacular backview and double as weapons in case you need to kick a pushy, drunk dude trying to hit on you. For $189.95 you’ll get a lot of sartorial edge à la Kirkwood for Rodarte, too.

Real vs. Steal – Chanel Spring 2010 Clogs

by Celine on May 9, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 09, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Some shoes take time to grow on me; others I want immediately. The studded clogs from Chanel‘s S/S 2010 runway fell into the latter category. I don’t know if it’s the 60s-70s clothes kick I’ve been on recently or maybe just the fact that I love how nude shoes of all kinds elongate the leg (that 4 inch heel helps too!) but I prayed to the fashion Gods above that someone would come out with a knock-off (the Chanel shoes being out of my budget and all). Usually my prayers of that kind get answered – by the Steve Maddens and Jeffrey Campbells of the world – and I was not disappointed…

Steve Madden “CECEILA” Wooden Clogs

UPDATE (03/26/2010): Woohoo! Another Chanel knock-off. This one’s by Steve Madden and it looks a lot like Jeffrey Campbell’s “CHARLIE” clog only that Madden’s version is a few bucks cheaper. Score!

UPDATE (03/26/2010): Sam Edelman‘s “Flair” clogs are quite reminiscent of the Chanels, don’t you agree?

Jeffrey Campbell “Karl” Clogs

UPDATE (02/27/2010): Jeffrey Campbell has released a new version of the Charlie clog named “Karl” with a raffia fabric upper in either navy or beige. So pretty!

Jeffrey Campbell “Charlie” Clogs

UPDATE (02/27/2010): Just learned that NORDSTROM now has the JC clogs in stock now for a budget-friendly $124.95 in black and tan. These are going to sell out quick, so order straight away.

I just received these Jeffrey Campbell “Charlie” clogs (I ordered them immediately after seeing them) and I have to tell you – they’re just as fabulous as I imagine Chanel’s to be. That scary 4 inch + heel is surprisingly comfortable to walk in and I just love their retro spirit. From the chunky wooden heel to the gold studs, these are truly an excellent knock-off. And for $178 (see retailers listed below for more prices), they’re really a steal. The clogs are available in either beige, black or tan.
