Chic vs. Cheap

The Dolce Vita Jemma boot, oh how I have longed for you! I've been watching these like a hawk waiting for the price to drop ever so slightly... Solestruck has a huge range of colours, and I spotted them on Karmaloop but they sold out! I know that I am a bit delayed with jumping on these as they've been plastered all over fashion blogs for some time now (This makes me want them more!)
I know these are pretty pricey but I think they are a great investment!

I'm sure you have seen these Jeffrey Campbell Mariel wedges, they became so popular they are available in every colour! But this design was inspired by the beautiful Dolce and Gabbana Suede Slingback Wedge.

After enviously staring at the price tag I spotted these babies on Wholesale-dress.net, I loved this design much more than the Mariel wedge as the straps went all the way down to the sole. After seeing this, they popped up everywhere, Aldo, Rubi, Sportsgirl all with very slight variations. Let me know if you find any more!

I would love the get the original D&G wedges... but not for the $600 price tag!

Oooooh, the original Dolce & Gabbana Suede Slingback Wedge

I was going to try and limit these to once a month ...

But first up, Cheap doesn't mean bad! And when I say cheap, it is a more cost effective version of the super expensive!

Well, I bet you have all spotted these babies from Steve Madden...

Steve Madden - Dynemite $109.95 (Prices vary)
available here and here

VS.

London Rebel - Anouk $39.99 - $50
Availbe here and at Famous Footwear

London Rebel isn't that cheap, certainly better than $100, but the quality of these are really great!

There are oh so many colours available in both of these brands, I'm currently eyeing of the Black and Leopard combination from London Rebel

How about some glitter?



ASOS - Hysteric  $42.17

available here

We all love shoes right? But sometimes the price tag can be a bit off putting!



Wittner - Midnight $169.95, available here
(Red, Black, Cognac)



  VS.



Wholesale-dress.net - Cross Sandals $10.81, available here
(Red, Black, Yellow)

 Thats a whopping $158.14 saving! Of course with cheaper shoes you must give in a little on quality control.

I bought these babies mid last year from wholesale-dress.net, and although the product is cheap, shipping is the killer! When I was browsing through Wittner's website I couldn't believe my eyes, there's hardly any visual difference, the buckle, colour and fabric are the only things I could find.
 



Be sure to check out wholesale-dress for some super cheap finds.

 some photos are 'stolen' and not of their product but others, be sure to check out reviews before a purchase! Also be aware, some items are not the best quality, (I have not had a serious issue... yet!) They do clothes and accessories too!

And for all you money troubled Lita lovers, check out these or these!

 Keep your eye out for a new outfit post on how to style these babies soon!

Would you rather invest in an expensive pair of shoes or do you go for the cheaper version, like me?
