Splurge VS Steal

I have been obsessed with green lace ever since I watch an episode of Revenge where Victoria Grason wears a lace green Burberry trench coat. I have searched  everywhere for a more affordable alternative but my results were in vain. Valentino also do a beautiful green  lace dress with bow detailing on the back, however the dress retails for over $3,000. Retail giants, Zara have come up with an almost identical version just a little bit shorter for a fraction of the price. I teamed the dress with a pair of nude patent studded heels  from Jessica Burman.

Splurge Vs Steal

Valentino's strappy, studded shoes are a fashion sensation right now. They are available in different finishes and styles from nude to bright patent pink, these heels are the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. Fashion conscious stars including Kourtney Kardashian, and Olivia Palermo have been spotted in these shoes. The shoes have also graced the pages of Vogue and other high fashion magazines. The shoes are now also available in  leopard print and also come in a flat version, as seen on Alexa Chung. They retail for approx $9,50-$1,100 depending on which website and style chosen.

I have found some great alternatives on this online website Tobi.com for only $52 dollars and they have a nude and a black pair available. Alternatively if you would like the Valentino heels they are available here in array of colors and styles.
