[GUESS Ashmere in Dark Pink Suede, buy them here]
You know those days when you find some horrendously overpriced designer item in T.J. Maxx you have been coveting for months, check the tag and find out it costs only $10?! Well today is one of those days. I danced, I laughed, I [almost] cried because I found the perfect match to the SOLD OUT Zara colorblock sandal you see on every fashion blogger who is any blogger. Annnnd they are only $60, available in two colors. I am literally dancing around my apartment right now…get them before these ones sell out too.
Gomax Calantha 01 Camel and Black High Rise Heel | $59
These Givenchy boots keep popping up on blogs, Pinterest and Refinery29 so I figured they deserved a look for less post. I even broadened my criteria up to $200 and could only find two pairs of boots I believe make the cut as a substitution to the pricey Givenchy’s. I personally love the Michael Antonio steals because they have a stiletto heel but the Steve Madden’s are closer to the reals since they are leather. Either pair will save you over $1,000 so you really can’t go wrong. If you spot a great sub for these boots make sure to comment and share. xx, tb

STEVEN BY STEVE MADDEN Tall Wedge Boots | $239
Still love the cap-toe rage but hate the Dolce Vita price? Check out the Chinese Laundry steals for less than half the DV cost. Plus, they aren’t suede so much easier to keep clean. On another note, did anyone else watch the new episode of Shahs of Sunset and DIE over Lilly’s style, makeup, etc.? Well I am officially obsessed and stalking her blog. I will be watching this season just to see what Lilly wears so send me a note if you want her looks for less. xx, tb
Dolce Vita Selina Pump in Black Suede | $198
Chinese Laundry Danger Zone | $89
I have been dying over this pinned look for close to a year. The effortless chic outfit, casual hair, big sunnies and killer sequin double strap sandals. I was convinced the real heels were Jimmy Choo or Prada, but it turns out they are Zara and sold out. I did find them on eBAY, but who cares when you find the look for less for only $40? Holla!
Zara Glitter Heeled Sandal | $129 on EBAY
Lulu Townsend Veronica Sandal | $40
Ever since Blake Livey wore the Charlotte Olympia Dolly Island Metallic Platform Pumps a few years ago on Gossip Girl I have thought about them from time to time, but I put them on a mental list of untouchable items I may one day {probably never} own. That is, until I found out Forever21 and Payless created VERY similar options for under $50. Moral of the story? Dreams really do come true if you wait for them.
Charlotte Olympia | $895
Forever21 | $28
Payless | $45
Burgundy is all the rage right now and what better way to wear it than as an ankle boot? I.DIE. for the Giuseppe Zanotti version but $800 for an ankle boot makes me sweat like a you-know-what in church. I am much more comfortable with the Dollhouse version on a budget. For those of you long-legged ladies who don’t rock 6 inch heels, check out the burgundy ankle boot for under $40.
Hope you all have a fab Halloween weekend! xx, tb
Giuseppe Zanotti Suede Ankle Boot | $795

Being a Palm Beacher I love all things Tory Burch. Last year, my bf at the time got me a gift certificate to Tory Burch and my first purchase was the Bradshaw Sandal. Since then, I got rid of the bf and the sandals after wearing them into the ground. Really got his money’s worth out of them, ha. Now that I don’t have them anymore I realize just how much I wore them and how they went with almost everything I own. But since the reals are sold out, I had to find some suitable Bradshaw alternatives. Check em out…
