Tough Love

I would have died for these shoes. They were on everyone (well, everyone worthwhile) but with a price tag of over $900 american... eff no. But then, the silver lining. Jeffrey Campbell made his own version of the God-like shoes. And again, $100 with horrible shipping costs to Canada... it's been hard my friends. While I still coveted these shoes long past f/w 2007 I felt that maybe one day in a distant land we could meet up. That distant land was not as far off as I thought. Behold, Spring's version of the Burberry studded heel... and only $60. Plus two extra 10% off. Which equals ooohh..... $48.60 Far better than $900+ in my books.

Lux for Less?

Found this "tuxedo" dress while wandering the sartorial utopia that is ASOS. Look familiar, anyone? It brings to mind a certain dress that got quite a lot of press from a Fall '08 ready to wear collection. Balenciaga maybe? The thing with the knockoff is that not only is it missing the ultra sexy slit up the right side, but I'd be a little nervous about not being able to try it on before buying. The tulip skirt could be hit or miss on some people, and I think I'd be a miss.
