Aquazzura wild thing suede heels | Banana Republic honey fringe pumps | Ivanka Trump ‘hettie’ fringe & tassel sandals via Nordstrom | Steve Madden sassey sandals.

The fringe sandals have been very popular so it was only a matter of time for other fashion labels to offer similar options to the famous and fabulous Aquazzura wild thing suede heels. In today’s post, I give you three additional options so you can also get these sexy sandals, perfect for spring and summer at a price that doesn’t throw off your budget. As you can see from these options, the differences are very mild. All these brands offer a wide variety of colors for every taste and for every occasion. I’ve tried all of them and I own the Steve Madden ones and I love them. Happy shopping!
