Splurge VS Steal: Casadei Heels

Wooooohhh! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA from the blog for the past couple of weeks. Let’s just say the beginning of the year has brought on tons of work, but I’m not complaining!

Since you’ve last seen me on here, I’ve read “Wheat Belly” and bought the cookbook. I’ve removed wheat from my entire diet (except on pizza nights, guilty!!!!) and started back on my workout regiment. It isn’t some crazy New Years resolution I’m working on or some crazy diet, I’ve just simply removed wheat from my normal diet and I’m already seeing great results! Bring it on Summer, my bikini bod is coming for ya!

So, yes…I don’t want to leave you guys hanging again so to celebrate my return, I bring you a pop of bubblegum (pink, that is) that won’t create a sticky situation with your wallet.

$34 vs $870. Hmmm, I wonder which one you’d be choosing in this battle.

These cutout platforms are so much fun for the upcoming spring season. I’d definitely pair it with a black and white look, like this one here:

Splurge VS Steal: Wingtips!

Splurge(s): Cole Haan & Donald J Pliner vs Steal: Steve Madden

Alright people, I’m doing something completely different today.

With the holidays right around the corner, I wanted to make today’s Splurge vs Steal dedicated to him.  I’ve gotten many requests lately to bring in some tips on menswear and as you can tell, I gave in. I’ve even started a Menswear board on Pinterest to pick up on some extra inspiration. (Check it out here!) I’m so into wingtips this season and love the edge Cole Haan and Donald J Pliner have brought to the classic shoes. There’s no doubt that these two nailed it.

BUT I bring good news to you and your wallet. Steve Madden has brought that same coolness with a grey suede pair and I’m all about it. Plus, it’s half the price. Cha Ching.

If you’re not a fan of the wingtips but you’re still looking for a shoe with a colored sole, Target has got the budget-friendly pair for you.

And they’re only $40! Here’s the link.

So…What do you think? Did I do good on my first try?
