Lovers, on the left plant your pretty peepers on Pierre Hardy’s Laser-Cut Slingback Booties – the very same ones seen upon Blake Lively (as Serena van der Woodsen) on Gossip Girl; to the right acquaint yourself with Chinese Laundry’s haute-to-trot Hopscotch, if you will.While the color of the chic Chinese Laundry’s is ever so slightly darker than that of the Hardy originals; for just $119.00, as opposed to the $1,000.00 required to skip home in the Hardy’s, they are every bit as perfect for adding a dash of playful to your shoe collection – at a price that would leave Ms. van der Woodsen herself green with envy!
Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?
Fashionably yours!

Erika - you never cease to amaze! What a great find! I like the higher heel of the Hardy but the price of the CL. However, my funds are being thrust into the StyleNation Las Vegas Meetup piggybank!!

I always have a hard time splurging. I don't think I ever have... I've always gone for the less expensive. I'm just cheap, I guess!
I like the Chinese Landry ones better!!! =) The darker camel color is prettier to me I think! =)

They look so alike I just have to save! I also think the Chinese Laundry is better because I like darker colors for shoes. (:
The Chinese Laundry shoes are definitely a great option; I can't imagine spending $1,000 on a single pair of shoes!
The Hardy's look better made for sure.
I love the wooden heels on these shoes! Your budget finds for high end items never cease to amaze me.
I love the color of the Chinese Laundry! Plus, love the quality of their shoes

Love Chinese Laundry! In this case I would go for whatever is more comfy. I could imagine myself wearing either one in an awesome dress.
Hi, I love your blog and state the following and I and decided to open a new one, hope you like it.

I love these! They remind me a bit of the Pradas I've been drooling over... What a fantastic match!

All I can think about are snow boots right now..and furry slippers when I'm not in them..
If I have to, I'll pick the $119. But, the Peep-Toe has got to go :/
i'd definitely go for the chinese laundry ones, what a great find!
This an amazing find. So cool that you found these at that kind of cool price.
Chinese laundry definitely for me!!!
I always love Serena van der Woodsen and Blake Lively's styles, and I love these shoes too!
I'd would way rather have a tightwad moment here, they look basically the same and Chinese Laundry sound so much better than Pierre Hardy

Once again, another post, another triumph. You are GIFTED, Girly. Keep em comin.
E, you should definitely become a personal shopper because only someone like you would know how to find the best stuff. As for me, I like the darker color and the affordable price of the Chinese Laundry booties. Have a good Tuesday, E.
How do you do it! A great find.
I need to bring you shopping with me. I feel like you could find me a less expensive identical version of just about anything!
I typically am in love with Chinese Laundry, and this is no exception. I'm tightwad all the way today!
Oh I love the curviness of the Chinese Laundry shoes. And also most definately the darker tone:)

The last pair of Chinese Laundry shoes I had gave me serious blisters.

I like the color on the Chinese Laundry pair better.
Not sure how I feel about these shoes. I'm picky, but they are different, which I like! I just wanted to say congrats on starting your MBA! Hope it's good being back in the classroom :)
I like the Hardy's. The intricate design is amazing. What a fun shoe, too bad we have so much snow in Ohio.

Chinese Laundry please! So adorable.

I like the darker color of the Chinese Laundry shoes.

Great find, indeed these two are just slightly, and such a huge price difference!

Great find as always :)
on this occasion i vote for the pierre hardys... the chinese laundry ones are pretty but they never last long... hence the cheaper price... ha!
I'd go with the Chinese Laundry ones! The shape of the cutouts is cuter, in my opinion.
Love the Pierre Hardy ones :)
This style is definitely in for Spring 2011. Our Brazilian take on this cut-out sandal, the Carmen Steffens' Veronica, was featured at NYFW. You can see it here on the runway:
