Spot the Real: J.Crew 'Malta' Sandal


Can you spot the real J.Crew sandals?

This summer is truly all about the simple sandal, with slip-on slides leading the pack. If classic Birks are too earthy, then J.Crew's "Malta" ($78) sandal is your muse - two streamlined leather straps on a barely-there sole. Recently I spotted a lookalike that's also made from genuine leather and will save you about $18. Can you guess which is the real J.Crew sandal? Click a link below to find out!

Don't call it a vest: The trenchcoat sans sleeves is a modern girl's BFF hybrid piece of outerwear. Layer it over casual separates to create an instant ensemble, or wear it with something barely there to get the look of a wrap dress instead. Theory's version costs $535 at Intermix, while the look for less is just $49.95 elsewhere. Can you guess which sleeveless trench costs more? Click a link below to find out!
