Spot the Real: Steve Madden 'Savine' Huarache Sandals

Can you guess which heels cost the most?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale kicks off this Thursday July 14 for cardholders, which has sort of come to mark the unofficial start of the fall shopping season for me. That's right, summer feels like it just started and here we are talking about fall clothes already! It's a bit much. So if you'd rather continue to enjoy the warm weather and buy more sandals, by all means. Here's a pair I'm loving from Steve Madden, the 'Savine' huarache heel ($76.98-$109.95 in three colors). I love the boho vibe and the fact that this style is so comfortable given the height. And it turns out that both Target and Payless carry the look for less - under $25!

Spot the Real: Dolce Vita 'Gisele' Espadrille Wedges

Can you spot the real DV wedge sandals?
My shoe closet overfloweth, but that doesn't seem to stop me from buying more sandals! Thanks to this tip from alert reader Julianne G. of NYC, I might just have to add yet another espadrille to the mix. She noticed that the Dolce Vita 'Giselle' espadrille wedge, which sells for $72 (down from $120) at shopbop.com looks a lot like the DV 'Kolie' which sells for $24.74 elsewhere (and also comes in black). See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking a link below!

P.S. Julianne also highly recommends the DV 'Kim' huarache wedge in tan or white, true to size, so comfy and cute with summer dresses!

Spot the Real: Marble Wall Clock

Can you spot the real marble wall clock?
While we probably don't use wall clocks to actually tell time these days, they still make lovely style statements in the home. I love the look of this classic yet modern marble wall clock which sells for $269.99 at domino.com. It's real marble but it's pricey. Luckily I found the look for less at Target with this faux marble wall clock that's just $14.99! It comes in black, too. The designer clock is 11.8 inches in diameter while the budget version is 10 inches. See if you can tell the difference by clicking a link below...
