Shoe of the Day #13/Alexander McQueen Look Alike

First Shoe of the Day for 2012:  Alexander McQueen's Faithful Cutout Ankle Boots.

I have to say.....I WANT to love these, however, I just don't.  Especially for $930.  I better be "head over heels" for a shoe to ever pay $930!  I DO think these would be cute w/a pair of ripped jeans that covered the top part of the shoes.  Still wouldn't pay $930, tho.

Obviously, Faithful is a celeb fav, but....celebs don't always have the best taste (ever watched Fashion Police?).  Enough said.


Like them, but don't have the extra grand to spend on them?  Meet Morgandy from JustFab.

Have to do a double take?  Me, too.  Obviously, once you look again, you can spot the differences, however, for $890.05 LESS, they're close enough!  ;)  Morgandy comes in black (shown above), and red.  Best part:  Morgandy is only $39.95 w/FREE shipping!  Not a JustFab member yet?  Even better....sign up & get 20% off your 1st purchase!!  Opinions?  I'd love to hear them!


Aaaand....that's all I've got for today!  Don't have time to throw together an outfit for Morgandy, as I have to do LOADS (like 7 loads) of laundry, clean, & run errands....BLEH. I *will* put together an outfit & update the post (probably tonite/tomorrow), so check back!


Bored?  Check out my Happy New Year post!  Let me know what resolutions you made, if any!  Don't make any....why?  Just don't feel like it/don't believe in them?  Lemme know!  :)

Outfit: Look for Less

Ok, so Randi (@rjohnson355 on Twitter) challenged me to take the outfit from Shoe of the Day #12 & recreate it in a more budget friendly version.  I thought....Pssh, easy-peasy.  Um, wrong.  Do you know how hard it is to find an affordable,  PRETTY green cardigan (instead of the lime green ones) that is IN stock?!?!  Not easy.

This is the outfit that I was challenged to recreate. The cost of this outfit is: $303...NOT including the cardigan, handbag, and ring, as those are "sold out" and the price was not listed.  Being on the optimistic side, I'd guess the cardigan to go for (aprox.) $19.99, the ring (aprox.) $10.99, & handbag (aprox.) $35.00.  This would bring the total to $368.98.




Here's what I came up with to get the look for less:

Ok, I switched the main color to white, instead of green, for two reasons:  1~ like I said, a green cardigan is relatively hard to find in stock for a good price, and 2~ White is more versatile...you can throw another color under it, mix up the shoes and/or other accessories & have a whole different outfit!  "My" outfit totals:  $166.92!!  That's a savings of $192.06!  You could get a whole second outfit with the savings!  :)


Here's the breakdown:  Cardigan, WalMart $15.  Blouse, Old Navy $26.94.  Jeans, Old Navy $39.94.  Handbag, ShoeDazzle $39.95.  Necklace, Jewelry Queen $3.11.  Ring, Overstock Jeweler $16.99.  Shoes, Amazon $24.99.

To make it even less expensive, you can do a simple green tank, instead of the blouse.  The one below is only $9.00 at Target, and comes in a variety of colors!

**Also, right now at Old Navy, they're offering up to 50% off and FREE shipping online.  Up to 75% off in stores!  So, you could possibly cut the price of the blouse and jeans in HALF (or more!).  If you aren't a ShoeDazzle member already, when you join, your 1st item is 20% off, so you could get the bag for $31.96.


So, what do you think?  How'd I do?!?!  I'd love to hear feedback.

Shoe of the Day # 11

Meet Danielle.  Now, I've been looking at Danielle since I first saw her, and I alternate between thinking "UGLY" and "Really Cute"! 

Danielle also comes in black, but for some reason, I like the gold better.  Thoughts?  Would you put Danielle in the Ugly category, or the Really Cute category?  I'm definitely starting to lean towards Really Cute.  Especially with the outfit below!  

Outifit:  Shirt/Jeans, H&M.  Necklace/bracelets/shoes, ShoeDazzle.  Handbag, JustFab.

**Don't miss out on yesterday's post, if you aren't already a member of Julep! It is a monthly Nail Polish/Mani/Pedi club!  Get your 1st month for ONE PENNY (code "SHAREON")!!  You can sign up, place your order, then cancel after you receive it if you don't want to stay a member, but for a penny it is definitely worth getting the 1st order!  You get 2 polishes & a couple extra things, depending on what package you choose!

Hermes Birkin Bag Look for Less!

Ok, so as I've admitted before, I'm a celeb gossip junkie (don't judge me...lol).  If you are, too, then you will have REPEATEDLY seen the Birkin bag.  Celebs LOVE it.  I will admit, its cute, however, upon researching this bag.....I do NOT think it is $9,000 - $150,000 cute!  One bag even sold for $203,150 at auction!!!!  My eyes are STILL bugging out of my head over this.  Seriously....$150,000 for a HANDBAG?!?!  I do not care how rich I got....I would NEVER spend that much on a handbag.  Ever.  This said...can you even imagine using it for a GYM bag??  Several celebs do this!  They apparently have WAY too much money.  Geez.  Ok, I'll stop, but wow, talk about "sticker shock"!  ;)

Kim Kardashian's multiple looks with her black Birkin

Nicole Richie & Khloe Kardashian Odom with their black Birkins, going to the gym!

Soooo, if you can't afford the price of a house for this cute bag, here's a budget friendly version to get celebs look for A LOT less!  ;)  "Principle" from JustFab, just $49.95 (free shipping).

Principle, in black

Eva Longoria with her blue Birkin

Kourtney Kardashian w/her orange Birkin, Kimora Lee Simmons with her brown Birkin

I have to admit, I would preferred to have seen Kimora w/Principle, as she is now working with JustFab, who puts out Principle.  Oh, well, I guess!  She can afford the real thing.  Principle comes in black, dark blue, grey, red (maroon), beige, & brown.  (I have pics of other celebs, (Victoria Beckham, for one) w/various color Birkins, however, I felt this post was long enough already.  If you want to see the celebs w/the other color bags, just go to my friend Google for an image search.  ;)


Oh.....just fyi....this HOUSE goes for $119,995.  Hmmmm.....handbag, or house.  Umm, yeah.  House.
