Mes chers, in the left corner you will spot Stuart Weitzman’s sassy Alex Espadrille – the very same sandals seen donned by the glamorous Jennifer Aniston and Eva Mendes; in the right corner cast a glance upon Steve Madden’s tres fabulous Fantasik Sandals.Though the wondrous Weitzman’s feature leather trim and an insole lined with suede, two aspects that the Madden’s are missing; for a mere $69.00, in comparison to the $365.00 of the ambrosial Alex, they are every bit as wondrous as their haute couture counterparts, and allow the frugal fashionista to indulge in a splash of star style on a budget!
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Stuart Weitzman, or be thrifty and spring for Steve Madden?
Fashionably yours!

Steve Madden. They look so similar to the realty expensive ones! I am usually not a fan of espadrilles but I like these. I might have to consider them for the spring. Now to find something to wear them with!
ReplyDeleteI love them! They make me crave spring even more! I'm tired of wearing boots.

ReplyDeleteGreat shoe for the spring and summer with a cute hat and dress! Def would go for the Steve Madden shoes, they look so close to the others!
ReplyDeleteErika those steve maddens make me want to go somewhere warm! I love how classic they are. I love simple shades on summer shoes because then you can go crazy with nail polish!!

ReplyDeleteYUMMY! So timeless!
ReplyDeleteI'll go with the Madden's, along with a wish for a summery day as we continue to break snow records here in New England :)

ReplyDeleteSteve madden for sure! I love the quality of their shoes and for the price, you just can't beat a deal like that :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you found a thrifty find like this.
ReplyDeleteThey look so similar, but I'd rather stick to the Steve Maddens. There's a Steve Madden store at one of my favorite malls and I'd be crazy not to pick them up. BTW, snow days are pretty nice when you're in the comfort of your own home. They're not pretty if you have to go outside. Have an awesome Thursday.
ReplyDeleteLove them both but the price difference is big. It looks like the Stuart Weitzman are a bit higher, right?
ReplyDeleteWell, that doesn't pay for the hundreds in price difference,
I keep the Steve Madden.

ReplyDeleteI actually think I like the Steve Madden ones better. The strap is better looking. But WOW the similarity.
ReplyDeleteWe sell Steve Maddens at Famous Footwear at my store so I would get a discount!

Steve Madden on this one! They're so similar, though, it's crazy.
ReplyDeleteThose wedges are super cute! And I really like Steve Madden, so it's not like you're skimping on quality.
ReplyDeleteThrift me UP! Gorge!
ReplyDeleteNot really fan of either one...I want more of a delicate lace-up espadrille if possible. Hopefully this season will provide me with the footwear of my longings!
ReplyDeleteThrifty is the key here. Great find.
ReplyDeleteLove them both but I am gonna have to go cheap.
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY WHAT WHAAAT HUHHH. These look SO similar. I don't understand how you catch these things. It's seriously a talent in itself.

ReplyDeleteWow these are so similar!!! Hope you have a lovely wknd hun! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the Steve Madden ones, they look so similar!
ReplyDeleteThese make me so exciting for spring! I can't wait for open-toed shoes again!
ReplyDeleteOoo nice picks! I do like the leather trim, and that is tempting me...but since there's so little leather, I would be fine going for the Madden.
