I’ve been cyberstalking these bow-embellished Valentino sandals for months. Now I know I fall in love with shoes easily, but on this occasion I didn’t have the slightest chance not to. I mean everyone loves a good bow, right? They are pretty much a signature style for Valentino shoes and when they look so gorgeous, who can blame them for continously returning to this proven style? So, the love is there, the budget to buy these lovely heels, however, is not. So what’s a girl to do?

Spiegel Satin Ankle-Strap Sandals
UPDATE (11/26/2010): Wow, look at this amazing & dead-on Valentino dupe by Spiegel I just came across. So close to the real deal. For a short time, you can take off 30% sitewide by using code “390” at checkout. But hurry, the offer ends soon. P.S.: The coupon code will knock down the price to a very fair $34.30 for these babies.

Steve Madden “ANASTASA” Bow Satin Sandals
HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “SMFREESHIP” to get FREE SHIPPING!
Turn to Steve Madden, of course! He is the man to make your shoe dreams come true! Take a look at these satin sandals and you’ll instantly see Valentino mirroring back. Pretty much everything is spot-on. I would’ve loved it if they’d kept the beautiful champagne color, but even the all-black version looks delicious! And don’t get me started on the luscious red satin version. Pure GORGEOUSNESS! One minor bummer though: You can only pre-order these beautiful darlings at this time and they won’t ship until the end of May! Boo! But don’t make the mistake to wait until then because this style is guaranteed to sell out quickly.

Olivia Palermo plays quite the bitchy persona on The Hills, but damn, that girl is always dressed to the nines, isn’t she? She might lack points in the sympathy department, but her meticulous style makes her want me to be BFFs with her.

HEY STELLAAAHHH! Must be screamed with as much passion as Marlon Brando does in the classic movie, A Streetcar Named Desire. Stella McCartney please, unchain my heart and wallet from this gorgeous bag you’ve designed! But, my dear and fellow vegan, a thousand dollars for a bag that’s not even real leather? Ummm, on what planet does this happen? Oh yeah… how could I forget, the planet named Hollywood!

Spiegel Foldover Bag with Chains
OK girls, forget foldover, I’m bowled over by Spiegel‘s version of Stella’s bag! Honestly, I wasn’t really feelin’ this look. But… it’s official; I’m now part of the “chain gang” because of this very creative and economical 2-for-1 design. A shoulder bag and a clutch? SOLD!

My personal style includes a mixture of classic designer pieces and inexpensive trendy items. When I saw this striped blazer by Tory Burch (RRP: $325), I knew there was a designer space for it in my closet. The simple shape is given a new look with nautical stripes. I’m already running imaginary outfits through my head!

Spiegel Ponté-Knit Striped Blazer
If you want to add a little stripes into your wardrobe, but don’t want to drop a whole load of your hard earned money, then this Spiegel blazer is an excellent option. The shape and stripes get the job done. If you still have your mind set on gold nautical buttons, only a few dollars and a needle and thread will do the trick.
