This pair of Converse Satin Dance Slip-on Flats are a little pricey at USD7.49 but they are tres me. Run around and never fear of tarnishing them :D I miss having a handy pair of comfy satin ballet flats for when I'm feeling lazy (nearly always).
Just wishing I could throw some money away to buy back these cuuuuuute Pink Rainboots with Green Whales to stare at all day long. Unfortunately, not favourably priced: USD 24.99 !!!!! It also happens that rainboots are a big no-no here, in spite of all the rain : if they were really mine though, I wouldn't care about fashion faux pas! Wearing them would make me happy beamy. Oh gosh, goloshes!
Suede Low-Cut Sneakers from Converse for under 10? Fine, so it's USD but still very well-priced! Awesomeness (y)
Some people may like these Grey Slingback Pumps. They did get good reviews, but aren't really growing much on me. Do check it out, I think it's pretty reasonable for USD29.99.
And theeeeese, are my pick! Very simple, basic Heeled Sandals in Tan, a true wardrobe staple! Great for work and casual, a colour that is not often seen amongst the working demographic. Also, with the cut-outs, they hint subtly at gladiator footwear (that is still apparently on-trend).
These brown heeled sandals from Target are a much more affordable version of this and this (both from Urban Outfitters). Who says recessionistas can't be just as chic?
I also came across some Givenchy-inspired Lace-Up Flat Sandals at 'Tarzhay' and also these Christian Louboutin-inspired Textured Orange Lace-Up Pumps on ASOS. ASOS does copy celebrity styles though, because the UK is celebrity/tabloid crazy.
What is your take on "inspired" shoes/bags? Is it "affordable inspirations ftw" or "just because it don't have a logo don't mean it ain't knock-off"? My friend, Andrea, recently revisited this topic! Check out the entry on her fabulous blog here.
I'm sorry for the linky 'shopping' posts, I'm halfway through exams so bear with me a little longer.
Swine flu is da bombz. Friends overseas, please take extra care.
Love,
