Earlier I featured an inspired-by look for these Givenchy Lace-Up Textured Leather Boots ($995, Net-a-porter.com) and now I'm happy to present two alternative looks for less...


First up, the AVA Shiny Lace Up Hiker Boot ($190, Topshop.com). Still not cheap but you could rationalize by saying you're saving $805, haha. But don't use that kind of logic: Remember, $200 spent is still $200 spent, no matter how much you're "saving"! Ok, enough preaching, let's look at our next option which is even sweeter!


Can you believe these are from Newport-News? And they only cost $44. They kinda remind me of these boots by Tory Burch, too, since they don't have a peep-toe. Loves it.

These earthy yet edgy Elizabeth And James "Haley" Buckle Back Platform Wedge Sandals sell for $325 at shopbop.com. Thought we could do a tad better with the price, so I rounded up some similar styles below. If I hadn't just recently purchased these Frye Amarillo Slingbacks on sale at Gilt.com, I'd be all over this look! How about you, are you feeling the peep-toe clog heel trend? (Try saying that five times fast.)
