Inspired By: YSL Tribute Sandals

We all know these are a celeb favorite, the YSL "Trib"/Tribute sandals. Who hasn't worn these on the red carpet?

Its probably why I fell in love with these Steve Madden Daarling sandals. They are a great inspired style shoe. Comes in so many different colors and materials too! I purchased the neutral multi for a summer shoe (also contemplated getting the denim), but they are also available in nude, like the YSL above.


I found a great deal on the nude ones on Overstock for $47.99. Don't miss out! Looking around at reviews on the web, seems like these are pretty comfortable and runs TTS. I'll write a review once I get them.

Review: GoJane.com

Do you face a dilemma when it comes to fashion trends and shoes? I was torn every season between wasting money in a pair of trendy, expensive shoes and wasting time in finding an affordable but totally doable pair until StylishlyFabulous tipped me about this particular website called GoJane.com a few months ago. Then I realized I no longer needed to waste time or money on trendy shoes. While rest of the contributors bought a pair of designer shoes this winter (Valentino, Louboutin, Tory Burch), I opted for GoJane.

It’s important to go through all the selections and not be turned off by the majority of shoes that are cheap and tacky. Once you get to the specific shoe page, click on the main photo, and it’ll give you a pop-up window where you can look at back, front, and top views. Use your best judgment to see if you’ll be able to walk in them (booties are generally comfortable). If the back of the shoes is too high, it will cut into your ankle. If you’re scared of PVC, go with faux suede/patent leather or think of Stella McCartney. Especially if you’re going to wear these to go out at night, who cares?

The ones I bought are no longer available -- GoJane seems to have a high inventory turnover rate, which is good if you want to feel like your purchase is unique but it also means if you like something, you better make the purchase soon. Below are the ones I like that are available on the site now.

[Black Strappy Zip Back Sandal, $15.80]

I'm thinking about getting these since I'm going somewhere warm next month. Or you could get the Loeffler Randall metallic sandal for $325.

[Suede Pedestal Platform Pump, $21.00]

Or you could get the Dolce Vita April suede platform pumps for $180.00.

[Cut-out Bow Front Suede Bootie, $22.10]

Or you could get the Valentino Garavani suede peep-toe pumps for $475-$935.

Shoes range from $5.99 to $42.00. Based on my experience, they run true to size. Enter Coupon Code "GJSHIP50" and get free standard shipping for purchase over $50!
