I've been looking for the perfect floral blazer and I think F21 is going to take the cake with this one.  At $35, it doesn't break the bank, and since it's such a trendy piece, I won't mind retiring it once it runs it's course.

When you look at these Steve Madden pumps, they are sparkly, but to me, so-so.  However, when I saw them on Sharon's feet, eep!  Totally died.  They look so good!


And a peep-toe version...








I'm loving the look of a lace-up and zip-up bootie combined.  I've been seeing them everywhere online but these Aldo ones take the cake for me.  When I saw them in person, even better.  I walked away without them that day, but haven't stopped thinking about them ever since. 





I remembered seeing these Jeffrey Campbell wedges months ago when I spied these look-alikes from Aldo that they just recently released.  If you can't swallow the price point, you can get an even less expensive version from Urban Original.

I'm  a huge fan of over-the-knee boots and couldn't contain myself last year and ended up with seven pairs!  A little excesive?  Not necessarily (when you don't spend a forture).  The trend seems to be sticking too, and looks like this fall we will be seeing a lot more of this style.

Now of course can anything really compare to Loboutin's Gazolina boots?  Or Louboutins in general?  Probably not, however, if you're not on a Louboutin budget, you can surely appreciate this Furge version below.  At $33.20, you can afford to be on trend without coming close to breaking the bank!  (Bonus: they possess a pink sole - cute!)

Although Spring's basket-weave wedge is beautiful, if you're looking for something slightly dressier and at a lower price, CutesyGirl has a great alternate for less.





I think I speak for many women at the moment when I say I'm still really loving the galdiator shoe trend.  Gladiator flats are so easy to slip into, whether it's a day of perusing the mall or lunch with the girls, they just work.  This year the focus is really on cuffs, and ankle embellishment.  I came across this beautiful Kelsi Dagger gladiators, but for those looking for a less expensive version, head over to Aldo for something super similar.

The peep-toe bootie trend is still going strong and you no long need to empty your wallet to get on this band wagon. Aldo's Haga booties are great, but at $140, you'll want to get your wear out of them. However, if you're looking for something similar without the similar price tag, check out Urban Original's Qupid Gaze booties and poof! Stylish on a budget.





I am on the casual hunt for some new wedges, something fancier but of course through my travels I came across these great super stacked (5.5 inches!) wedges from Bakers Shoes.  They are even on sale for $50 bucks, but I can do better than that.  Check out the similar version below from Urban Original - and in two colours, it's a steal.

{ Aldo, Geringer $110 }

You don't have to splurge to be stylish and I certainly live by that motto.  I found these great booties on Aldo's site and started to drool.  Fortunately, I've found a much cheaper (and almost identical) version at Forever 21.

{ Forever 21, Mistress $29.80 }


I died when I saw this beautiful Catherine Malandrino dress on Amber's Notebook. However, I had already seen the Urban Og dress below for much less. Beautiful.

Zippers are a trend you cannot ignore right
now.  They have been popping up everywhere for
months, and they sure catch the eye.  Balmain brought
the look to the runways and now everyone is copping
the style.

My friend CW brought these beautiful Prada suede platforms to my attention, and they are begging for a post. Studs are still going strong and in full effect for spring, so bring some rocker-chic to your pastels for an updated look.

Black studded suede cross-strap platform sandals, perfect with tights, bare feet, socks ... dresses, jeans, skirts ... oh the possibilities.




If you love the look, but not the price tag, check out this option below.

I'm loving these great Aldo Mickolick pumps. While they retail at $90, various colours have now gone on sale for slightly less. Still, an even cheaper version is Forever 21's Envy pumps! At $24.80 they are a steal!
