You can't blame me for featuring yet another Valentino Rockstud lookalike, especially since you'll need these flats in addition to the heels we featured last week when your outfit calls for something more demure (or your feet just need a break!). The look for less is available in both turquoise blue - perfect for spring and summer - or ivory and sells for $59.95. The "real" costs $729 at Farfetch.com. I think you ladies know which one's which but click a link below to find out for sure!

Slowly but surely, the normcore "ugly" shoe trend is winning me over. I'm already wearing slim joggers, so what else do I have to lose? With a simple crisscross sandal like Isabel Marant's "Holden," I'd get comfort and instant fashion cred. Of course I'm not about to spend $495 on a glorified flip flop which is why I'm loving the $34 look for less I spotted elsewhere. Can you guess which is the real and which is the steal?

Lately, I've been living in slim joggers - sweatpants with a slightly more fitted look and tapered leg. No, I haven't given up on life. I'm being fashionable. Just look at Free People's latest offerings and you'll see what I mean. The trendsetting brand is showing slim joggers paired with everything from socks and Birks to black patent monkstrap boots. You can also dress up your joggers with heels for a night out (see Pinterest for ideas). Free People's joggers cost $78; the look for less (which I own) is just $19.99.
