Good Morning!
One of my favorite post topics to read on other blogs is “Splurge vs. Save”, which is basically finding designer dupes at reasonable prices! So I’ve taken the liberty of creating my own and below I’m sharing all of the item details from the collage!
1. Leopard Sneakers
Splurge:
Women’s Keds For Kate Spade New York Kickstart Genuine Calf Hair Sneaker
$110
Save:
$59.95
I’ve been browsing around looking up leopard sneakers for months! I haven’t purchased any yet but both of these are good choices and one is $50 cheaper!
2. Sunglasses
Splurge:
Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunglasses
Also available in black here!
$250
Save:
Designer Inspired Oversized Sunglasses
$11.99
The Karen Walker Super Duper Sunglasses have been a favorite of many bloggers for years and years! They are super expensive at $250. A few years ago I took a chance and order a knockoff pair from Amazon and I really loved them! I have since purchased two more pairs since they are only $12 and I always seem to misplace my sunglasses!
I’ve have ordered the Karen Walker sunglasses in black and tortoise before, as well as the Amazon pair in both colors. The black Amazon pair is almost identical to the Karen Walker ones in terms of color, shape, and weight. It was really difficult for me to tell them apart! However, the tortoise ones from Karen Walker looked much nicer and offered a richer color than the tortoise ones from Amazon, which looked cheap to me.
If you like black sunglasses I would definitely recommend the low priced Amazon ones. If you think tortoise colored shades look better on you, then I would stick to the real deal!
3. Leopard Mules
Splurge:
Women’s Madewell Remi Genuine Calf Hair Mule
$88
Save:
Target Violet Faux Leather Leopard Spot Mules
$24.99
The Madewell mules were one of the most popular items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and for good reason – they look so cute and comfortable! They sold out quick, but some sizes are back in stock now that the sale over.
If you didn’t grab these during the sale or don’t want to shell out $88 for them, Target has a very similar looking pair for $24.99! I haven’t gotten these…yet, but I do love them! Also available in snakeskin and perforated taupe!
4. Mix Metal Stackable Bracelets
Splurge:
Also comes in silver & rose gold.
$4050
Save:
Women’s Tory Burch Logo Stud Bangle
Also available in gold & silver.
$128
I’ve been an avid fan of most of the Real Housewives series since it’s inception back in 2006. As a faithful viewer, one of my most favorite things about watching these shows is studying their outfits and accessories! If you watch the New York housewives then you know that both Bethenny and Tinsley have been seen sporting several of the much sought after Cartier love bracelets. I love the look of these bracelets stacked but CLEARLY I don’t have $4050 to spend on a bracelet, never mind for 3 of them!
I came across these Tory Burch bangle bracelets last year that have a similar look and come in gold, rose gold, & silver for a fraction of the price! I wear these bracelets almost every single day and so far, so good! There are some light surface scratches but no chipping and I’m really happy with them – highly recommend!
P.S. Big Blonde Hair is my favorite website for finding out details on what Bravo-lebrities are wearing! They do amazing work!
5. Braided Sandals
Splurge:
Women’s Rainbow ‘Flirty’ Braided Leather Flip Flop
$54.95
Save:
Women’s Bobbie Braided Thong Flip Flop Sandals – Universal Thread
Also available in gold!
$9.99
Unless you want real leather straps, the Target pair for under $10 is a great deal!
I hope you all enjoyed this post and can save a few dollars! I had fun researching and putting it together!
