Sunday Steals: Diane von Furstenberg Opal Wedge for Less

Dolls, to the left rest your kohl-rimmed eyes upon Diane von Furstenberg’s out-of-this-world Opal Wedge in Camel; to the right prepare to swoon over Gianni Bini’s amazing Adrianna Sandal in Hampton Tan.

Though the Bini offering lacks some of the height of the von Furstenberg’s – sporting a 4.5” wooden wedge heel as opposed to the 5” wooden wedge heel of Opal; for a mere $98.99, in comparison to the $295.00 needed to scoop up the designer darlings, they are the perfect compromise for the girl surviving on a shoestring budget – and give one the chance to indulge in both sassy shades (Hampton Tan and Grey)!

Your turn loves…will you be thrifty or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?


Fashionably yours!

    I like the color and the lower height of the Bini, that one's for me.

    Wow, I can't tell the difference. I'd be just as happy with the cheaper one.

    I really like the darker color of the Gianni Bini more. But the nude DVF's would make your legs look super long.

    I'd definitely splurge on the DVF pair. I just bought the DVF Theia wedges and I LOVE them, so want to get some more DVF shoes now! :)

    These two are so similar that I would go with the cheaper version.

  18. Haute WorldMarch 27, 2011 10:09 AM

    I can't believe how similar these look! The thrifty version for sure, even though I prefer the color of the DVF one ever so slightly.

    they're both really cute. good choice either one, although the Bini shoes are much cheaper and a nicer color.

    Alas, these are too tall for me, but if were a few inches shorter I would be off to buy the Opals! I found a great shoe on the Bergdorf website, I must track it down and send it to you to see if you can find a similar {but better priced alternative} ;)

    Hope your weekend was divine!

    not a huge fan of thick straps on sandals. maybe it's just me but it makes my calves look big.
