Seeing Double: Zara vs Alexander Wang • Ankle Strap Sandal

Matchstick heels are making a comeback this season and I must say by adding a pair of thin ankle strap sandals you can dress up any look. I've recently invested in some tight maxi skirts and feel these would be the perfect companion. I absolutely love the Alexander Wang's but luckily Zara has a pair that are wallet-friendly. Which are you favourite? Can you spot the differences?

Seeing Double: Affordable Valentino?

Lately I've been on the hunt for shoes and after I found the perfect ankle boots from Urban Outfitters I honed in on new pair of flats. My research took me into familiar territory, I didn't want to spend too much and found quite an adorable pair from Forever 21, but where had I seen this style before? At Valentino. Needless to say, I bought the Forever 21 pair.

Seeing Double: Blue Suede Shoes

Blacks are essential, nudes give you runway-worth legs, but blue pumps may just be your secret weapon this season.

We all fell so deeply in love with Carrie's "Something Blue" Monolos but they aren't exactly the perfect shoe for the little black dress.

Thankfully Yves Saint Laurent has electric blue suede pumps made for this exact reason, at $720 a pair here. But fear not,we all have the chance to get "something blue" because Steve Madden has made the same shoe just at a fraction of the price, at $89.95 a pair here.

Seeing Double: In the Garden of Eden

Lately I've been noticing a lot of animal-inspired jewelry but more specifically there are a lot of snakes. Roberto Cavalli seems to have a certain obsession with the serpent this season and if you've set your sights on one of these pieces but don't have the money for it, our good friend Kenneth Jay Lane is here to help.

The difference is in the stones: the Cavalli carries Swarovski-crystal while Kenneth Jay Lane's serpent is crystal-embellished.

If you're willing to break the bank you can find Roberto Cavalli's ring here for $375 or if you want to play it safe you can purchase Kenneth Jay Lane's piece for $135 here.
