To BOW or not to BOW

One of my subscribers mentioned to me that Stuart Wietzman made a pair of shoes that look just like a pair of Payless shoes that we have featured on the Luxaholic mum blog. I had to see it for myself and bring it to you all.

Mind you, this is a $325.00 pair of shoes. And they are bananas! Wietzman have some of the most comfortable shoes you could ever own. They are almost true to size which makes buying online a breeze. And I likey! If you can afford them; well go for it.

But let's get reat! This is a recession and Luxaholics or not, everyone is trying at least to be frugal; to curb their shoe addiction even if it's just a tad. That's why this blog was created. To find you the alternative :)

For all our recessionistas out there; a whopping 35.00 can give you the same look (or close to it) at Payless. I own a pair of those and I must say that they are quite comfortable and stylish.

Let's break it down for a minute. They are both D'orsay style pumps which we like on the blog; the color is to "dye" for; the first shoe is covered with real silk; but the second one is with a silk-like material. Basically, you get what you paid for. Whether you're into bows or flowers well that's up to you. As for me, I would prefer a bow on the first shoe for the cheaper price :) How fantabulux would that be?!

Mini or Maxi? That's the question

Vested Interest

We can all feel the cold front moving in the eastern part of the country slowly but surely. Although I am originally from the tropics; I love the cold. I love the snow and I love, love, love Winter fashion.

One beautiful trend that seem to reinvent itself over and over is the little vest. There's a vest for everyone in the family even the infants and our furry little friends. Another great aspect of the vest is that you can wear it pretty much all year long! Isn't that fabulous or what?!

I have found some ridiculouly luxurious vests for your guys. Some of my wealthy divas will probably want at least a few in their closets but for the rest of us; well, you know I got your backs :)

According to Elle Magazine : "A sleeveless vest is Fall's statement jacket, a chic piece that works from day to evening."

This vest below is by Andrew Gn. This is the look of the NYC fashionistas. It's very easy to achieve on a low budget.

Whereas this one from Forever 21 Department Store for only $29.99

Check out this cool corduroy vest also from Sophistix for only $17.50
