Getting ready for fall? Well, I’m still wearing all of my favorite summer outfits but that doesn’t mean I can’t be prepping for fall right? By prepping I mean shopping for fall staples. I have to say, it’s uncanny the similarity that Steve Madden sandals have with Schutz. The difference in price is many times half the price, I mean who doesn’t love a good deal, I know I do! If you’re looking to get sassy this fall, check out the Schutz Kija sandals $200 that comes in taupe, green orange, chesnut, black, red and grey or the steal option, the Steve Madden Shay sandals $129.95 come in a chesnut and purple color for everyone’s favorite fall pops of colors.

Splurge vs Steal: Glamorous Bow Pumps
Bow pumps were meant to hype up any outfit you may have. Whether you’re wearing a formal dress, midi skirt of boyfriend jeans with a loose top, these pumps promise to make you a star! I splurge myself with the beautiful Aminah Abdul Jillil bow pumps, $21,5 last year for my birthday and let me tell you, I was very pleased with the customer service, from emails going back and forward to ensure I was getting the right size and that the adjustable magnetic snap closure was not going to be too loose on my thin ankles, to the beauty of shoes these Aminah Abdul Jillil are. You can see how I wore them here. Needless to say the shows were a little over my budget but since it was my birthday I decided to go for it. Choies red detachable bow embellishment high heeled pumps $29.90 are a very similar option if you don’t want to break the bank for some statement bow pumps. This version doesn’t have the detailed stitching the Aminah Abdul Jillil pumps have but the price sure is good. I recently go them in black and I like them!

You can wear these fabulous cage sandals with skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, slacks, dresses… you get my point. I love a good deal and when I set my mind on something, shoes in this case, I’m on a mission. I’ve been coveting these Schutz sandals (5 inch heels) for a couple of weeks. I’ve been looking for sandals that are a little edgy and look great both with pants and with dresses so you can only imagine my happiness when I stumble upon these ones. Wanting to wait and not spend $200 in shoes, I took my time… and yesterday while I was window shopping, I found the Steve Madden (4.25 inch heels) version at half the price. I’ve tried both pairs and they’re both super comfortable and they look great on! I have very skinny legs so sometimes these types of shoes do not look great on me but these ones do. If you’re in the market for some amazing summer to fall cage heels, look no more! The sandals have an adjustable ankle strap Buy them now, thank me later!
