The Look for Less: Lanvin Chain Link Heels


Lanvin's chain link pumps originally sold for $1075 at Barneys (now sold out).




Hilary Duff wore hers with a body-conscious black dress for a shopping spree at Gucci…

…while blogger …love Maegan worked some DIY magic and made her own inspired-by pair of ankle chain heels. Fabulous!

**UPDATE:** Thanks to a tweet from @notlostintrans, I discovered another blogger's amazing DIY version of the Lanvin: The Glamourai created detachable ankle jewelry that can be worn a dozen ways! Superchic.


The best knock-off I've found so far isn't cheap, but it's a lot less than the original. It's the 'Seeri' by Guess ($128) and you can wear the chains draped in back or wrapped around the ankle (says so in the product details.) Click the pic to learn more, Lanvin lovers!

I think the inspired by ones are better looking than the original! I'm not a huge fan of gold, though.

Also, thank you for spelling out body-conscious. I always wondered what body con dress meant but now I know! :-)

Holy moly, I'm in LOVE! And I agree with Jeni - I like the Guess version even better.

I love the shoes! However, they do cost like a lot! But they're really nice and good to look at.

When I saw Hilary wore this in another site, I just fell in-love with it.

Those lanvin pumps are so hot and you know how I love ankle strap shoes. I hope someone comes out with an exact dupe!

I love you, Lanvin! LOL

Those heels are killer sexy, right, guys?

I would definitely wanna wear this pair. How can people make such beautiful shoes?!

I am a member of Shoedazzle.com and their Felina is a really good knockoff.

$29.95 and they are super cute.
