I've told you guys over and over and over again how much I love Charlotte Russe's shoe selection; totally fab and totally affordable. I died when I saw these Barbara Bui ankle booties but wasn't fond of the $445 price tag, plus they were sold out everywhere, as they were from 2011 [you can see them on Annabelle from Viva Luxury here]. Low and
behold: Charlotte Russe got a very similar pair in stock that has
a little something extra --a cap toe. Maj.
Buy them here.

Remember back in this post when I told you that if I miss out on a shoe from Zara, I can almost always find a very similar pair at Charlotte Russe? After browsing their website last Shoesday Tuesday, I was noticing just how many look-alikes they have right now. The best part? None of them are priced over $39 -- fabulous!
As I'm sure most of you noticed recently, when Target has designer collaborations, shit sells out... fast. So for all of you girls who still aren't sleeping because your shoe-drobe missed out on Prabal Gurung's black lace up heels, you can finally get some shut eye.
And how amazing are the Gucci look-alikes? Haaaaawwwwt [sing that out loud in a really high pitched voice to get the full effect]! Pretty spot on, I'd say. Charlotte's website had a white pair but the only colors left now are black and nude. Either way, you're getting the same look for much, much less.
Searching for the perfect pair of flats? These d'orsay flats are another Zara look-alike. Note: they run a full size & a half too big [insane]. Totes took three shipments to finally order the correct size, and I still think I could've gone down another half size... you'll have that.
Also, I ordered down half a size with shoe number 5.
Charlotte is offering 20% off site-wide today so happy shopping, ladies!
Forever 21
Markus Lupfer
While many of us love the Markus Lupfer designs, not all of us can afford to spend $150-450 on one of his sweaters.
Forever21 nailed it with the sweatshirt featured above. It looks very similar to the Markus Lupfer Polka Dot Lips sweater but is only $23! Investing in trendy pieces is typically not a great idea because they're not going to be around long and you'll usually only get a few wears
out of whatever it is, so I think this F21 sweatshirt is a great option. Plus, any day that sequins are involved is guaranteed to be a good day so there's really no reason for you not to buy this sweatshirt [I'm a bad influence].
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive but I can't wait to wear it. I love how Rachel, from Pink Peonies, styled her Markus Lupfer sweater here -- I just might have to recreate the look!
