Fashion blogging

So I am a follower of fashion blogs.  I love them, and it is a serious problem because all I want to do is buy everything I see.  I am sort of frienemies with fashion blogs.  Chuck really loves them.....oh wait, just kidding.  Anyway, every once in a while (a.k.a all the time) I see something I want, but that is out of my teacher's salary budget.  I have been drooling over the Valentino rockstud collection.  Only problem is that they are outrageously expensive, I mean thousands of dollars.  You could literally go on a vacation to Hawaii for these babies.  I want them so bad however that I have been searching for some suitable knock offs.  I found a few that came close, so I thought I would share.  Sad thing is that even some of the knock offs are more then I want to spend on shoes.....maybe for Christmas or something ha ha.

Here are the original rockstud slingbacks.

They are beautiful and for you, only 1,295 dollars. Holy shiz who gets these?  I looked up some reviews on line and it looked like the peeps who were buying these were straight off the real housewives of wherever.....(to give credit, there were normal people too.)  I just can't spend that kind of money on shoes, no matter how bad I want them.  Well through my research I found the following.

These are from Choies and are just under 100 dollars.  They look pretty similar right? I also love that the heel is low, I can't be chasing a baby or teaching school in stilettos.  Here are some others from Choies that look similar, also with a lower heel. These are actually on sail for $73.79.

Here are some more original Valentino's.  These are classic back and are also great looking shoes.

These are only 1,075 dollars......okaaay. Well I found some comparable shoes at ShoeDazzle.com.  They are on sale for $33.71.  Looks like we finally found my price range!  The only thing that I don't like about the replica is the heel size, it's looking pretty high.




Sure if you are really shoe savvy, you can tell the difference, but to my untrained eye these shoes all look pretty much the same.
