The Budget Babe - Fab without a fortune - Shoes


LeAnn Rimes wearing Lanvin Fishnet Ankle Strap Pumps

The ever revolving appetite for sophisticated footwear has taken the fashion world in the 21st Century by storm.  Celebrities fork out big bucks in the fashion industry.  We live in a celebrities obsessed nation and on a daily basis we endeavour to look like them, dress like them and we go to the extreme of idolising them.  The one thing we have to understand is that financially there is a massive void between what you and I can afford to spend on a pair of shoes and what Lindsay Lohan,   Jenniffer Hudson or LeAnn Rimes can.

Recently LeAnn Rimes was spotted in Los Angeles  wearing a Lanvin Fishnet Ankle Strap Pumps. These shoes are amazing in person and most women are obsessed with them.

The retail value for these shoes at SSENSE is $1050.00 per pair.  This is a fort-nightly wage for some hard working ladies!  Are they wrong to have fantasies of ever owning one of these?

Oxygene By Lanvin For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 2.5 OuncesThe total aesthetics of the shoe is phenomenal, who wouldn't want to own one.  Similar products were like the Lanvin Cutout Satin Heels at the same price, The Lanvin Patent Pump at $885.00.

Lavin also have a range of perfumes, including E'clat D'arpege, Jeanne Lanvin and Oxygene. Oxygene is at the bottom of the price range and costs less than $20 click here to view... This brings it back in line with most peoples pockets!

 The evolution of small fashion businesses and high street stores have given the ordinary person the opportunity to look and dress like the ones they adore.  Are they cheap or wrong to do that, I doubt it.  The same replica shoes I just mentioned above can be purchased for as little as $30.00, if you know where to look.

I have had spoken to people who would not shop in Ross or TK Maxx because the prices are cheap therefore it is too good to be true.  These fashion outlets I have just mentioned sell some top, well sought after brands
