The Look for Much Less

  /  
December 10, 2011

I love expensive name brands like every other person, but with my budget… sometimes spending hundreds of dollars for a pair of shoes just isn’t realistic.  Enter in, Chinese Laundry.  Chinese Laundry is a shoe company that provides very high quality items for a bit less than the designers.  I was lucky enough to be able to choose a pair of shoes that I liked for review.  I chose the “Whistle Patent Pump” in the color nude.  I never owned a pair of nude toned  pumps; thus, this was the opportunity to get a pair.

I’ve always loved Brian Atwood and Christian Louboutin heels.  I hopefully plan to wear a pair on my wedding day (whenever that will be).  When I received the Chinese Laundry pumps, I immediately compared them to the Brian Atwood Maniac 140 Patent Leather Pumps.   Almost identical– without the $580 price tag.

You can grab a pair of the Chinese Laundry heels for only $69.95.  The only downside to these is that you’re going to need to break them in.  I have wide feet and they fit fine, they just need to be broken in a bit more.

I’ve gotten SO many compliments on those heels every time I wear them.  They make my legs look like supermodel legs.  Trust me, that’s not easy for short stubby legs like mine.  They also match pretty much any outfit that I want to wear.

If you need to get a holiday gift for your girlfriend or for a best friend, I would consider checking out all the shoes on the Chinese Laundry website.  There are many options to choose from: whether you need a chic pair of pumps or a trendy pair of boots.

Many of the shoes on their website are under $100 and are versatile for any style.  Thank you again, Chinese Laundry, for sending me these pumps & making me look like a supermodel 😉
