Can You Guess Which Pom Pom Sneakers Cost More?

Can you guess which are the real Steve Madden pom pom sneakers?
Here's a fun little slip on sneaker I came across that you can find at multiple pricepoints, from the budget dupe that's just $29.99, to the mid-range Steve Madden pair for $89.95 (comes in three colors). There's also a pair by Sam Edelman for $99.95 with five colors to choose from! I'm sure my kids would make short work of the pom poms on these sneaks, but otherwise I think these are a sporty-chic option for spring that adds something extra to an easy-to-wear everyday shoe and takes it up a notch.

So can you guess which is which? Click a link below to find out!



The Look for Less: West Elm Pineapple Lamp

Add a stylish pineapple lamp to your decor from West Elm or the Better Homes and Gardens collection at Walmart (yes, Walmart!)
Pineapples are more popular than ever in fashion and home decor. They symbolize hospitality, they're exotic yet familiar, and they resemble works of art with their geometric good-looks and spiky coifs.

While browsing the Better Homes and Gardens collection at Walmart.com, I stumbled upon a chic pineapple lamp that would blend in with just about any room style - and it's under $30!

Meanwhile West Elm offers a gorgeous counterpart with a touch of gold, and it's now 20% off making it a great buy, too. Which would you pick?

The Look: West Elm Pineapple Lamp, $159 (Try code SAVE20 to get 20% off your order)

For Less: Better Homes and Gardens Pineapple Lamp, $27.66 at walmart.com

The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs 'Gotham' Saddle Bag

We love this A+ by Aldo camera bag at Target.
This A+ by Aldo bag is really just a fab find I came across during a recent Target run that also happens to look similar to a Marc Jacobs bag! #addedbonus

I love the striped strap and minimalist styling on the bag. When buying cheap bags, less is really more (and looks more expensive).

Choose from white or black to carry your camera as advertised or other essentials. It looked like it could easily fit a wallet, phone, keys, lip gloss and more.

For Less: A+ by Aldo Camera Bag, $26.99 at target.com (Buy one get one 50% off for a limited time! See target.com for details.)

The Look for Less: Pom Pom Sandals

If you caught my recent post about the new spring shoes at Target, you may have noticed the 'Kayla,' a pom-pom lace-up sandal that reminds me of designer Elina Linardaki's designs. These boho sandals give off a definite vacation or festival vibe, and can be spotted on the feet of all the jet-setting, beach combing babes.

But for something so trendy, you might not want to invest a lot of cash, and that's where these budget lookalikes come into play. Take your pick from Sam Edelman to Target (they've also got a slide version called the 'Kay' that I'm loving - no tying required!) for a fun, colorful sandal that's like jewelry for your feet!
