As you may have already gleaned from previous posts, I’m a big fan of designer duds. I love the quality with which they’re made and I love the little details that usually make them slightly superior (in my mind at least) to the offerings of retail stores. However, I buy such pieces sparingly because no amount of love (or lust) for them can justify spending $300 every time I need/want a new dress. Thus, I’m always on the look out for designer “look-a-like” pieces offered at less than designer prices.
In one of my earliest posts, I professed my deep and unconditional love for the Cynthia Vincent Luella wedge. To be honest, my love doesn’t end with the Luella wedge – I love all Cynthia Vincent wedges. Her designs are always a cross between the feminine and the more rugged (think – big buckles, exposed zippers and heavy metal detailing) which I absolutely adore. Every season, a new pair of wedges is introduced which I feel like I must own. This season, it was the Daryl wedge. However, at about $300, I wasn’t about to push “purchase.” But leave it to Steve Madden to make an almost picture perfect replica with a much skimpier price tag.
Cynthia Vincent Daryl Wedge (currently on sale $199.99-$239.99)
Steve Madden Trackks ($89.95)
Which one do you like best? To be honest, I really love the Steve Madden!
Thank you, SM! I love these!

I think Steve Madden's are better as well. The construction is similar, but the color is better and I like the gold tone on the hardware better than the muted tone on Cynthia Vincent.

Both of them are gorgeous, but I'm going to have to go with the majority and say that the Steve Maddens are my favorites too! And can I just say that I absolutely love your blog title- so clever! And I saw where you're taking/have taken (?) the BAR exam- best of luck!

Great find for less :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I honestly like the Madden ones better solely because the zipper tag is uncovered ( I don't know why that stood out to me?). These are such a cute style--great eye!
