Fab Look for Less: Maison Martin Margiela vs NYLA

Hey fab readers while surfing online for some fab boots for fall we came across these Maison Martin Margiela Wedge Ankle Boots. While we are unsure how we feel about the boot we think that they may be OK for an everyday look. These boots feature a studded design and a faux cut out style. While the look is not something that everyone will appreciate we have a feeling that even less people will love the price just shy of $900.00.

If this boot is your syle but the price is not then we have a feeling that you will love the NYLA Noelle Boots. These boots feature a 4" wedge heel with a similar studded design at only a fraction of the price. If these are your style then click here to shop as they are currently on sale for $99.00

The Highs and The Lows: Christian Louboutin vs H by Halston

Fab readers we have been obsessed with the Christian Louboutin Lady Daf MaryJane heel for quite some time but no matter how we look at it these shoes just aren't in the budget. We enjoy a splurge on a good pair of shoes as much as the next but just can justify spending just shy of rent on a pair of shoes.  The Lady Daf features a 6 1/4" heel with a 2" platform and can be yours for only $995...unfortunately the shoe is sold out everywhere (for those that can afford).

Never fear if the Lady Daf is out of the budget. H by Halston has an uber fabulous alternative Rosalind. The Rosalind features a 5 3/4" heel with a 2 1/8" platform. We absolutely love these shoes and the price even more. They are currently on sale for $94.99 so stop reading and click here to buy.

Fab Faceoff: Shoe Edition Marc by Marc Jacobs vs See by Chloe

Fab readers I have a confession to make...I do not repeat DO NOT own any sneakers...not even a pair of  Chuck Taylors ( I know I know). I thought that was all going to change but I just cant seem to find the right pair, maybe it's because my feet are so big ( I mean a size ten does look like boat in a pair of clunky sneakers). I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that they just aren't for me.

While on my search I did find a few pair of sneaker alternative shoes that caught my eye. The first pair are a by Marc by Marc Jacobs and they feature a 4" wedge heel with a cotton and canvas combo upper and are $290.00. Something about these shoes scream the perfect casual day with a pair of cuffed up skinny jeans and combed cottton t-shirt.

I also bumped into a pair of fab See by Chloe shoes that mark a resemblence to the Marc by Marc Jacobs. The Chloe shoes feature a 3 3/4" wedge heel with a full leather upper and lining and are $345.00. While I admit these are pretty dope I'm leaning towards the Marc by marc Jacobs shoes. Let me know what you think fab readers, let us know which one wins this edition of fab faceoff

Fab Find: Steve Madden Shoe Clips

We know our our mom surely had a pair (well actually more like 8 pair). Leave it to Steve Madden to bring back the shoe clip with a modern twist. We absolutely love the idea of these shoe clips, they are a great way to modernize you fave pair of shoes that have been in the closet forever and give them a new look for only a fraction of the price of a new pair of shoes. The Steve Madden shoe clips cost between $20.00 and $30 dollars and are a fab edition to just aboutany shoe. Check out a few of our fave clips below and let us know what you think of adding shoe clips to your shoes. 

The Highs and The Lows: Fendi Butterfly Platform Pumps vs Boutique 9 Caurah

Fendi Butterfly Platform Pumps-$790

Fab readers it is no secret that we LOVE Fendi shoes, however they dont love us. Fendi pumps are just way to narrow for my feet (and I measure a narrow). When I first spotted the Fendi Butterfly Platform I instantly fell in love with them but them, like the rest, the butterfly platform pumps had my feet SCREAMING after 10 minutes. Not to mention the unsexy price tag of $790 it was pretty easy to leave behind however every now and then I still think of them.

Boutique 9 Caurah Pump-$170

Allow me to introduce you fab readers to my latest obsession the Boutique 9 Caurah Platform Pumps. You can clearly see that these shoes were "inspired" by the Fendi pumps and for only a fraction of the price I think they look quite fab. The main difference between the two shoes are the Caurah Platform does not have the extra platform and it is all suede versus the leather and suede combo on the Fendi. The Caurah Pump is only a fraction price of the Fendi  and offers the same look. I'm surely purchasing for only $170!!!

You can definately see where the Elvie boot gained its "inspiration" from, the Elivie features a 5 1/2" heel and a faux fur shaft. These boots are definately sexy and are only a fraction of the cost of the Dolce Vita Boots Tatum boots at $69.00!! While you can definately tell a difference in the quality we think that the Elvie boots will give you a similar look and with the money you save you can get a new outfit to go with them ;-) Check out the two looks and let us know what you think...the high or the low?

Fab readers we hope that you had a fabulous fourth of July!!!! We sure did, and had to double up the workout to make up for it ;-) 

For this edition of the Highs and Lows We have the YSL Pumps that we have been obsessed with over the past year. These shoes are so sleek, sexy and modern, they feature a pointed toe and a modified wedge (which makes the shoe really stand out). The YSL Pump has a 5 1/2"  heel with a 1 1/2" platform, which means it really only feels like a 4" heel. The pump which cost $795 is sold out everywhere so if you're loving the shoe as much as we are...we recommend ebay (where we found a few pairs but not in our size).

The Highs and Lows: Christian Louboutin Bridget Strass Pumps vs Dollhouse Tano Pumps

Fab readers there are very few shoes that stop us in our tracks but it was love at first site with the Bridget Strass pump (I literally think my heart skipped a beat). As soon as I put it on my foot I was prepared to go without food to add this shoe to my collection...well, that was until I saw the price was $3,325. Then reality came rearing its ugly head and the sales associate carried away my dream shoe.

I thought the shoe was out of my life forever until I stumbled across the Dollhouse Tano Pump. Whie its not an exact knockoff you can definately see where they got their inspiration from. The Tano shoe is definately a statement shoe that makes a statement with any outfit. The most fabulous part is that it is only $49.98..so with that said, stop reading and start shopping before they are all gone..click here to buy.

The Highs and Lows: Miu Miu vs. Forever 21

Fab readers we absolutely love the Miu Miu Forma Cutout Sandals. These sandals are as sexy as they come, featuring a sexy cutout weave that is perfect for day or night. Imagine how cute these shoes would look a pair of ruffled socks (pure perfection!!!) The only thing not sexy about these shoes is the price tag...talk about a reality check at $750.00 these shoes are not for the faint of heart or broke of pocket.

This is the reason we love Forever 21, if you wait long enough they will knock it off for you at a fraction of the fraction of the cost!!! Forever 21 has done an exceptional job of "channeling" the Forma Cutout by introducing the Posh Stiletto heel. The Posh Heel features an all over velvet covering with a mesh cutout style similar to the Forma Cutout. While we admit it's not an exact replica for $20.80 we are not complaining.

BTW if you dont mind spending a little bit more Aldo has an excellent Forma for $100...click here to view

YSL Tribtoo Pumps

Fab readers we could not believe our eyes when we saw the Round Toe Platform Pump from Wet Seal. It looks almost identical to the YSL Tribtoo Pump. We know that the YSL Pump has been seen on nearly every red carpet for the past few years and is definitely an investment shoe, but we just can't bring ourselves to pay $795 for this shoe...(however if we were ever to pay that much for a shoe it would probably be this shoe). Luckily Wet Seal has delivered an extremely similar pair of shoes for only.....wait for it....wait for it...$24.50!!!. Yes that is the same thing we said, for that price we can get 2 pair and so can you!!! What we love is that they didn't shorten the  heel which stands 5.5".

Current Obesseion Forever21 Rogeri Boots

Forever21 Rogeri Trooper Fashion Boot-$36.80

Fab readers I have bee contemplating the Forever 21 Rogeri Trooper Fashion boot for the past month but I figured that would be a bit selfish of me since I am no where near finished Christmas shopping. However at a price of only $36.80 I guess I wouldn't be that bad :-) The boots are really sexy on and are pretty comfy, they feature a 4" heel and have a leopard lining (getting fancy Forever21). Since I just bought I flat pair of boots that are similar in style to this boot I would have to figure out a reason to justify buying another pair of boots.
