Kitty cats, to your left you will find Balmain’s blissful Stretch Urban Studded Gladitors – the very same ones seen styling the feet of Lindsay Lohan and Rihanna; to the right prepare to fall in lust with Type Z’s tantalizing Lorry.While the luscious Lorry has an ever so slightly higher heel than the Balmain beauties; for a mere $100.00, as opposed to the $1,025.21 price tag of the Balmain’s, they are a nearly identical offering – for a fraction of the price!
What’s your stand…will you splurge, or save?
Fashionably yours!

Oh my goodness! They are exactly the same!!! How do you find these things? I'd love a pair- I bet my legs would look amazing in them!
ReplyDeleteThey are basically the same! Except the Balmian shoes seem to have much more of a classy curve to them, they are identical!
ReplyDeleteNice picks!
They look exactly the same, so why go for the $100 version when you can have the originals?
ReplyDeleteDivine affordable find, darling!
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed with these posts of yours!

I would definitely save! (I actually don't have much of a choice!) I'm actually getting these Arturo Chiang's> they definitely differ in design, but I think they might be on the same style plane.
ReplyDeleteThose Balmain ones are so stunning!! I think they would go so well with socks and a skirt.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the similarity. haha
ReplyDeleteDefinitely save!
I'd definitely think the cheaper ones would be a good investment.
ReplyDeletethere's just no way i could pass on anything balmain!
ReplyDeleteThey look identical! I'll definitely save and go with the Type Z pair!
ReplyDeleteAah, they are soo similar! And they are absolutely awesome.

ReplyDeleteIf you didn't label them...I could hardly tell
ReplyDeletewhich is Balmain and Type Z. It's really a copy cat, noh! i will just go for Type Z then :-)
