Splurge VS. Steal: Jimmy Choo Shoes

You've seen them… the ads have been taking over fashion magazines for the last month and one by one they are melting the hearts of stylish sisters everywhere.

These beauties by Jimmy Choo are fall's answer to the gladiator only with a huge dose of sex appeal and a side of S&M. There's only one problem: the price tag--$1,295.00! But have no fear ladies, that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the action, we've found the perfect consolation prize at 1/3 of the price.

Say hello to the Yung Patent Bootie from Nine West ($119.00). Take a gander, and thank us later.
