In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly steal that’s available online or in-stores. This week, we’re talking faux fur. Make sure to check out my blog SydneStyle.com for more fashion inspiration!

Fashion Week kicks off today in New York (I’ll be posting live updates on my Instagram: @sydnesummer). Dressing for the stylish event is always stressful—and even more so when it’s 20 degrees outside! So I’m constantly looking for accessories that will keep me warm while still looking glam.

Usually, I am elated when I spot a look for less, but not this time. Why? Because I bought the "real" at the end of last summer and paid more for my sandals on sale than the look for less costs full price! Oh yes, hell hath no fury like me when I've paid slightly too much for something LOL. But the good news is that I'm sharing this amazing find with you so you can save a few hard earned dollars on these wear-with-everything gladiators. The real is made from synthetic leather and costs $60. The look for less is just $23, also faux leather. The "real" gets some pretty bad reviews, buyer beware (customers complaining that the shoe falls apart, no bueno) so in this case you'd probably be wise to go for the budget version.

P.S. I love this sandal in black and brown, but the neutral python is so subtle glam, and the white will look amazing against a tan! Pair these with cut-offs or maxi dresses all summer long. See how other fashion lovers are wearing this sandal here.

My Target store finally started stocking its spring shoes and it's hard not to get excited. I love snow and winter (we went crosscountry skiing this weekend) but nothing beats the sensation of slipping into sandals after a long season of thick SmartWool socks and boots. Here's a breakdown of my favorite styles so far:

We may be dealing with another blizzard here on the east coast and wearing snow boots for the foreseeable future, but that hasn't stopped us from dreaming about spring shoes! One pair that's catching everyone's attention is a casual-chic cap-toe espadrille flat. Inspired by Chanel, you can find this style reimagined by Tory Burch for $135, or you can find it at one of our favorite budget-friendly stores for just $25. Either way this is the perfect everyday shoe to slip on when warm weather returns.
