Darlings, in the left corner you will find Miu Miu’s decadent Desert Suede Studded Platform Slingbacks – the very same ones seen countless times on Jessica Simpson; to the right feast your eyes on BCBGeneration’s blissful Blend Sandal.While the platform of the BCBGeneration’s is a darker shade of wood than the blonde seen upon the magnificent Miu Miu’s; for just $110.00, as opposed to the $495.00 required to add the Miu Miu’s to your shoe collection, they are every bit as chic as their haute couture counterparts, allowing the frugal fashionista a splash of star style without breaking her budget!
So mes chéris, what are you up to today? Will your AmEx take a beating with a splurge, or will you stay safe and thrifty with a frugal buy?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Bluefly and Endless for the pictures.

In general I have darker clothing so I would LOVE to own those BCBGeneration ones!! I love that store. I can sometimes really find a great deal!! I'll definitely take the steal!

Eh. I can take or leave either of them.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely settle for BCBG! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's old is new again ... These both look like a throw-back to the platform shoes of the 70s, a little retro going on here :)
ReplyDeleteSo great shoes!:)
ReplyDeleteI haven't totally embraced platforms yet but BCBG for sure if I did!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome find! And I think I even like the BCBG ones better!!

But just think of how great it would be knowing you're wearing Miu Miu! They are a bargain though :)
ReplyDeletei would have to go with the miu miu ones, they are too cute!!
ReplyDeleteIt's like before and after to that picture hehehe..
ReplyDeleteI actually really love both of these and would be thrilled with either pair!
ReplyDeleteThat's odd. These shoes are screaming my name. Do you hear that???
ReplyDeleteThey're cute, but I'm not crazy about studs on shoes. :/
ReplyDeleteI am a total sucker for Miu Miu shoes, so I think I'm going to have to splurge this time!

I love the slingback feature on a cloglike shoe. Makes is more dainty. Definitely not splurging. Trying to save up for the perfect pair of boots!
ReplyDeletethey have great details, although i prefer the color to be black. the shade's way too "calm" for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThese stiletto rocks! I would love to have one also.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! So alike. Great find.
ReplyDeletei would NEVER be able to pull those off!!1

These are so pretty. Great, there is a cheaper and more reasonable priced one.
ReplyDeleteI think in this very close comparison I could do either! They both look good!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sandals and I can barely tell the two apart!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my post about red high heels! :)

Ooh, you've done it again! Bravo on finding another budget-friendly pair of shoes!
ReplyDeleteI love them, but I would die in them.
ReplyDeleteThe bargain pair is fab! I looove them!

I would definitely go for the BCBGeneration ones. I'm naturally just a fan of darker colors, unless we're talking shirts. Then, I would get really experimental. Lovely find, E. They look exactly the same. Hope you have a good Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI more than happy to go with the BCBG. I love pretty much everything from there!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a pair of them...but I highly doubt I'd have any use for them...except falling in them. I wear flats all the time now.
ReplyDeleteI am so not getting the giant wooden heels :(
ReplyDeleteSomeone explain it to me please!

I love bith pairs such a great versatile colour. As usual I would go for the cheaper ones as I just can't resist a bargain.
ReplyDeleteI can't afford either, for the sake of my daydreaming I choose Miu Miu :):)
ReplyDeleteI'll be thrifty :)
ReplyDeleteThey look identical. Who could knock back a pair of Miu Mui's though.

I love BCBG.In general it is so hard for me to find shoes that fit, but I have a couple of BCBG shoes and fit perfect ....<3. Note: one of those pairs is 7 years old :)
ReplyDeletehttp://styleidnet.blogspot.com/
I actually like the color of the BCBG ones better!
ReplyDeletehttp://vi-vant.blogspot.com/
I actually like the darker ones more.
ReplyDeleteMy Heart Blogged
Not a huge fan of chunky heels or studs BUT the strappy look is making me long for warmer months. I would wear these every day if I could have warm weather back!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great deal - I'd totally go with the less expensive!
ReplyDeleteI loove those shoes.

I actually prefer the color of the heel much better on the BCBG pair :) Another great find!!
ReplyDeletethese are so cute! i love the wood accents :)
ReplyDeleteTotally gorgeous! Great find.
ReplyDeleteI think these are not of my taste so I think I will leave both of them :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome tip! Definitely going to go for the BCBG one! Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeletethose are really lovely sandal
ReplyDeleteThey look like great summer shoes. I agree with Tanvi though: they're not my style. I like the studs though.
ReplyDeleteI love them both, so I will go with the cheaper for sure! So cute!

BCBG...I couldn't shell out that much for the Miu Mius!
ReplyDeleteawesome find! these are super identical.

I actually like the darker wood better, but both are a splurge for me now :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so similar. Its a no brainer really
ReplyDeleteAnother great find Erika! If only I weren't tall already, these would be the perfect spring shoe for me. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo
