If you are on a budget, one of the best ways to prioritize your shoe funds is to splurge on the basics, but spend less on trends that may not still be popular next year. Purple is one of those trends. It is super hot for fall, but it could easily fall to the wayside by next year. However, you can wear a basic Christian Louboutin black pump for years to come. I’ve found some cute purple shoes that will keep you trendy, but won’t break the bank!


Um...yick. I see no redeeming qualities here. Usually Michael Kors goes for the 'funky, yet chic' designs that are almost timeless. I don't know what he was going for here. I don't like the colors, and I feel like this design is trying too hard, if you will. With a name like Waxy Strappy, I guess you're asking for it!

Gorgeous. Something about these screams class and elegance (which to be honest is rare for an espadrille, if you ask me.) Love the black toe detail. I would do these with a pink dress, something super girly... or black leggings.
So simple yet so chic. These Michael Kors Flats are not only fashionable, but they're priced perfectly. I'd do these with black leggings or skinny jeans or even a cute little denim jumper. They are a perfect Summer to Fall transition shoe.

Simple elegance, and the price ain't bad. Can you imagine the possibilities? I mean, the name speaks for itself.... and obviously the silver color contributes to the smooth transition into any wardrobe. I would definitely rock these with shorts ( I just got the cutest Joie high waisted shorts in a mango hue, woowoo.)
Michael Kors Babe Sandals $395.00-
Could these be any more adorable? As if we needed another excuse to dream about the summer... And just in time! My mom told me it was -3 in Chicago today. Thankfully, I'm in sunny LA, no need to "California Dream" for this Chicagoan ;-)
I love these classic yet elegant, trendy pumps. The price tag has been reduced from $395.00 to $275.90 . These shoes are a very good investment that will be in style for years to come. I love the beige color but they also come in black suede.
My advice? Go for it, these shoes are timeless.

Sometimes I wonder: why do we spend so much money on a pair of shoes when we can find almost the same style for half the price?
I love edgy high end shoes. The style, quality and details are usually better than their cheaper conterparts. But I have to admit that lately a lot of designers have come to understand that there is also a market between super cheap and super expensive. That's why we start to see more affordable alternatives from the same hot designers that bring us the more expensive lines.
