Guest Post: Three Celebrity “It” Shoes For Less

The following is guest post by Sydne from ThinkThruFashion: Every season there is a new “It” bag or shoe. But “It” usually costs a fortune and becomes so over-worn that nobody wants to see it after a couple of months. If you want the latest accessories, get the trend for less. This way, you’ll still have money for when the next “It” comes along. 

One of the most popular shoes right now are from YSL. The Cage shoe has been worn by Becki Newton, Beyonce, Claudia Schiffer and Leighton Meester. Get it for only for only $59.99 from Bakers.

Just about every star has at least one pair of YSL Tribute Too pumps: Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham, Amanda Bynes, Eva Longoria, Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Moss, who just wore a gold version to the Met Costume Institute Gala. Get black ones for $149.95 from Steve Madden.

Another popular shoe with celebs is Jimmy Choo’s Glenys snakeskin sandal. The exposed zippers have been worn by everyone from Fergie to Emma Stone. Get an animal-friendly version for less from Go Jane for only $19.70.
