Steve Madden's "Haylow" platforms sandals are now just $34.90 (down from $69.95) in nude or black at Nordstrom. I can't believe summer sales are starting already.



Get the look for just a teensy bit less with Mossimo's "Prue" platform heels, $29.99 in magenta, nude or black at Target. Click on any item to shop.

The Look for Less: Burberry Brights Colored Sunglasses

The new Burberry Brights eyewear collection for Spring/Summer 2011 features bright colors like lime green, aqua, purple, and orange. You can pick up a pair for $250 at Burberry.com.





I typically shy away from colorful sunglasses but the latest ad campaigns shot by Mario Testino look so chic and sophisticated, I've found myself reconsidering.





I saw these brightly colored sunglasses at Target by Xhilaration ($19.99) and was instantly reminded of the Burberry styles. It might be a good way to try the trend before investing in the real deal.





What do you think, are you a fan of colorful sunglasses this season?





The Look for Less: Christian Louboutin 'Lady Daf' Pumps

Christian Louboutin's "Lady Daf" platform pumps are $995. I featured them in a post about the bondage pump trend, a topic which sparked quite a bit of controversy (here).





Love them or hate them, the Lady Daf has a lot of celebrity fans, including Kourtney Kardashian, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian.





If you want this look for less, check out Topshop's Louboutin-inspired "Sugar Mary Jane" platforms for $135. Click the image below for details.
