Dolls, in the left corner we have Prada’s blissful Black Studded Suede Cross Strap Platform Sandals – the very same ones seen gracing the tootsies of both Anna Dello Russo and the charming Carey Mulligan; in the right corner we have XOXO’s haute Hollywood Platform Sandal.Though the XOXO lovely is constructed out of a synthetic upper and manmade sole, as opposed to the suede upper of the Prada pretty; for just $79.99, as opposed to the $795.00 asking price of the Prada’s, they are just as capable of making the wearer feel like a Hollywood starlet – at a fraction of the price!
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Prada, or be thrifty and spring for XOXO?
Fashionably yours!

Wow!!! These are fabulous hunnie!! Seriously..one of the closest comparisons Ive seen......GREAT job on these!!
ReplyDeleteStop by and Say Hello
Statements in Fashion Blog♥
Wow they almost look like the same shoe!!! Hmm....this is a tough one...if I HAD the $795 to spend on shoes they would probably be the kind with the shiny red soles... ;)
ReplyDeleteSo I am going to have to go with the cheaper ones on these :)

I'm with Prada this time eventhough they are almost 800$:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those!! of course the cheaper is within budget :)
ReplyDeleteWho couldn't use a little Prada in their life?? I know I could!
ReplyDeleteooo those are so cute =)
ReplyDeletei am going to have to be a big spender on this one ~ love those Prada shoes!
ReplyDeletexoxox,
CC
love the xoxo ones! have a nice day, darling! xo
ReplyDeleteThe XO pair looks great! I'll spend the big bucks on another Prada pair :)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute pair of shoes! (both!). that style is so flattering!
ReplyDeleteThe Prada has a more substantial heel, so I'll have to dish out the dough today.
ReplyDeleteFairly close, but I'd still love to get my hands on the Pradas!
ReplyDeleteWell, if I was insanely wealthy I would totally go for the Prada, but since I'm not the cheaper version is just as good. But sometimes you just want the brand!
ReplyDeletewow that's so close! Love them both. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteLove, M
I totally agree with Jamie! I'd prefer a pair of those delectable red soled babies over anything else, if I was going to drop $800 on shoes. But these prada shoes are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Prada shoes way too much for my own good. I would get both.
ReplyDeleteThe Prada ... defiantly

I like the lighter colored lining of the Prada pair, big spender it is!
ReplyDeleteTough choice. The Prada ones look like they'd be easier to walk in with the chunky heel, and I think I like prefer that heel, although my first look I prefered the XOXO ones. Overall the Pradas win-they just have that classy, Prada edge!! Once again great finds :) xx
ReplyDeletePrada all the way!
ReplyDeleteprice feels like a punch in the stomach... especially for just a pair of shoes. however, I would probably go for Prada.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous sandals!
ReplyDelete♥ Leia
Ooooh those Pradas. YAY!
ReplyDelete♥
So gorgeous. I do love Prada's heel..but hey, these are beauties at a sweet price too.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason these remind me of Carrie Underwood.
ReplyDeleteLove them both, but I'll choose the XOXO this time^^
ReplyDeleteDid you see the Stuart Weitzmans that Meg wore in her Champ Sat post? They come in black too. She got them for a song! Although, those xoxo pretties are prob even lower in price and totally cute!
ReplyDeletePrada! But that's a great find for the budget for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Prada ones best! But both are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow, they do look pretty similar but I think I like the Prada one best.

i actually like the xoxo ones better - i hate shoes with beige soles..
ReplyDeletegreat shoes!!
ReplyDelete♥ allisterbee.blogspot.com
I'd have to get the Prada ones because they're Prada. Oooo in a magical world with no price tags & no high arches I would LOVE to own these!!!
ReplyDeleteBecause they look so much alike, I have to go with the cheaper ones. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I so despise Prada just because I can never justify the price (and I'm sorry but I actually do have a couple friends who buy shoes there and I DON'T think the quality is ANY BETTER AT ALL than the shoes I buy, lol) but for this one, I have to kick myself and say Prada. Don't know what it is, they just look more uniform and streamlined.
ReplyDeletePerfect find!!
ReplyDeletewow the xoxo show is so similar! great find! just added you to twitter ;) x
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely awesome! Thank you XOXO!
ReplyDeleteSo chic -- love them!

Give me those shoes! Wow! I would go for the XOXO pair cos of the price. Fabulous find Erica dear!
ReplyDeletethese shoes are yummy! both of them!
ReplyDeleteOh those xoxo beauties will look so good on my footsies! ha
ReplyDeleteamazing how close these 2 look! can be found with a great eye like yours! Hope u are having a great week!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I like the aesthethic of the Prada just a bit more, but I can really justify the price.
ReplyDeleteThese are very Carey Mulligan! I like the studs. They are a nice twist on classic black pumps!
ReplyDeleteI like the Prada ones better for this comparison. the price is way out of my price range, though!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I would go with the inexpensive ones for a pair of shoes this trendy. I would only wear them a few times so the price wouldn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteObsessssed with the Prada heels... they're just so prettttty!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is such a deal AND XOXO can often be found in TJMaxx and Ross for even cheaper.. maybe just maybe they'll make an appearance near me!
ReplyDeletethis time i like the more expensive one better. but i am more likely to get the cheaper version, haha. :D

Beautiful shoes!
ReplyDeleteJust came across your blog!

Wow! Those prada shoes are seriously amazing. Definitely a perfect shoe.
ReplyDeleteIf I had all the money in the world, the Prada. I like the variation in the studs, and I dig the two rows of studs on the platform versus the metallic band on the XOXO.
ReplyDeleteIt's a slight difference, but it's there.
I also love the heel on the Prada vs. the XOXO. It's very straight and gives the shoe a bit more power.
Rawr.
Erika if I wasn't on wallet restriction I'd be all over the Prada shoes. Hot mess!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Carrie
i love the xoxo one because of the heel, plus its way more affordable!
ReplyDeletehttp://fashionablenotebook.blogspot.com/
Both are so cute!
ReplyDeletePrada for the win, baby!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! XOXO is definitely a steal, but Prada is Prada :-). I'd have to walk in them to decide.

I'd have to splurge and go for the Prada. I can't resist! :)
ReplyDeleteNice comparison! I do like the Prada ones a little better, but not 10 times better.
ReplyDeletelove the XOXO pair because the heel is so much nicer and it's practically the same shoe.

I just wish the XOXO pair was made of leather. I'm not a fan of synthetics. Pout.
