While the Madden marvels are ever so slightly lower in height than the luscious Laurent’s; for a mere $89.95, in comparison to the $695.00 required to add a little YSL love to your shoe collection, they are every bit as capable of giving le frugalista the chance to try a little haute couture on for size – at a price that doesn’t break the bank!
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 Saks Fifth Avenue and Steve Madden for the pictures.

Nice shoes;)
those are so adorable!
I like the cheaper one better. Beautiful wedges!
So cool. The cheaper one looks just as amazing!
So nice. Happy there is a cheaper version!
Totally awesome. Love that cheaper price, too.
these look almost identical!??! so id totally score the maddens :-)
This time of year is great for shoes like these ... I'd take the Maddens, but with a little lower wedge please :/
I cannot believe how closely Steve Madden has replicated this shoe! I'd go for the cheaper pair, though if I were YSL, I'd be a little upset ;-)
Gorgeous find, darling!
I will be thrifty on this one ~ thanks!

Definitely Steve Madden. I love his shoes! But how he gets away with selling exact replicas of designer shoes is beyond me!
I'm gonna have to go with the splurge on this one. I love the split in the heel! xo

WOW practically identical! I can't imagine anyone buying the YSL ones after seeing the SM pair!
I absolutely love wedges! And I'm definitely picking the Steve Madden ones. I prefer the wedge on that.

I'd love to be able to afford the Yves Saint Laurent pair...

awesome wedges! definitely the Steve Madden ones .... I spent my whole morning in their store and got the cutest pair of shoes (will post pictures shortly) and they are all very comfortable, so besides being on a 'Steve Madden' mood today I see no reason for the extra spend, they are very similar, LOVE Steve Madden :)

These are really sexy and chic shoes. I really love the look of them and wish I liked wearing heels! I think I could love to wear these! I hope you have a great day sweety.
Cute! I always like Steve Madden shoes, and wedges are a summer essential. (:
So sexy. I actually, love the heel on the cheaper priced shoe.
Sure I can't afford them but I like the pricier ones
i sooo love the YSL's much better! I love that little crease detail in the middle, sexy!
Gah, I heart Steve Madden!!!
wow, steve madden totally took the YSL look. i guess i'd go with the SM wedges as they are more affordable.
I love his shoes! But how he gets away with selling exact replicas of designer shoes is beyond me!
I'd like to go for Steve Maden's design. Classic!
I want one of these shoes! they're beautiful! Both of them!
