Tightwad Tuesday: Kate Spade New York Charm Heel on the Cheap

Mon doux, to the left feast your eyes upon Kate Spade New York’s ultra-covetable Charm Heel in Platinum Glitter/Gold Liquid; to the right take a gander at J. Renee’s ravishing Rosina in Gold Glitter Fabric.

While the Rosina dazzlers sport a slightly lower heel (2 ½”) than that of Kate Spade’s chic Charm (3 ½”); for a mere $79.95, in comparison to the $325.00 needed to add Spade’s sparklers to your shoe collection, they are every bit as capable of causing a shimmering stir with your many admirers – at a price that allows one to scoop up all three haute hues (Gold Glitter Fabric, Multi Glitter Fabric, and Silver Glitter Fabric)!

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!

    I actually like the kitten heel of the Renee shoe better. It looks more classy.

    personally I like the lower heeled shoes only because it increases the amount of time my feet would survive in the,

    I love bows.... Somehow I like the higher heels even though I know lower heels are more comfortable.

    sparkle shoes, my fav!! $79.95 all. the. way. although, i do like that the kate spades are higher heels because my husband is super tall! either way, you just can't wear sparkle shoes and be in a bad mood :)

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. These are adorable, and JUST in time for the Australian summer! I prefer the Kate Spade heel, but I suspect my bank balance will steer me elsewhere.

    Foot comfort is so important. I'd be willing to be more if I could feel a real difference.
