Splurge or Save

1. J Crew {Emery Sandals $248}

2. Isabel Marant {The Caroll Sandals $1,035}

I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! How fun are these Isabel Marant sandals (Pair #2)? I have not had the pleasure of trying them on but they look relatively comfortable with the low stack chunky heel. They are all over fashion blogs and magazines at the moment. When I saw the price tag I knew I wouldn't be buying them anytime soon. Flipping through the recent J Crew catalog I came across these (Pair #1) that have a similar feel to Isabel Marant's but at a fraction of the cost. What do you think, look for less or full price?

High End to High Street

There are plenty of "lust-worthy" fashion pieces I am drooling over at the moment. And because the real deal is not realistically obtainable, I have hunted down more affordable versions. High Street is a term often used in the UK for shops that are for the everyday girl....in other words, it will not leave a hole in your wallet. Below are my currents scores of the look-for-less.
