Studded clog shoes and boots are very popular this Fall. You needn’t spend a fortune to get the look, for example the fabulous boots from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent are a bit pricey at $375, but you can get a pair so similar that most people probably wouldn’t even notice the difference – from Banana Republic for $250. And if you take advantage of one of Banana’s frequent 25% off sales (like their current online event, with code: BREVENT25) you can get them for $187.50 which is half of the price of the Cynthia Vincent boots!

Christian Louboutin’s Rolando pumps have inspired so many imitations it’s kind of crazy. The unique, elegant pointed toe – sometimes called almond or crescent toe – has a seam up the front, you see that all the time now.
Below is the Christian Louboutin Rolando Python in Roccia Grey, $1195. The heel is 120 mm or about 4.7 inches. They are made in Italy and are made with python, leather, and of course have the signature red Louboutin soles.
Here’s a very good option for a similar shoe by Bruno Magli (pre-order from Bloomingdale’s). Bruno Magli Mirta Platform Pumps, $355… less than 1/3 the price of the Louboutins. They are also made in Italy and have 4.75″ heels, embossed leather upper, leather lining and leather soles. The rich gray color will look great with this Fall’s colors!

Liv Tyler recently wore Givenchy’s striking striped jacket at an event at LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art. A very similar jacket, and much less expensive one, is available at Anthropologie!
Here’s the jacket on the Givenchy runway. Givenchy Ottoman Stitch Stripe Jacket. It sold for $1,270, and seems to be sold out now.
Anthropologie’s version does not have the shoulder pads, which many of us may prefer anyway. (Sorry, I’m still not ready for shoulder pads yet, I unfortunately still remember the ’80s!)
Hello Sunday Blazer, $98 at Anthropologie.

You can get a similar look with Dolce Vita’s Trinity Pumps. They’re normally $198, but are on sale at Lord & Taylor for $137.99, plus they’re offering an extra 20% off sale items with code: BIG. That puts them at a mere $110.39! They are made with leopard print calf hair leather with 4-1/4 inch heels with hidden platforms. They even feature the almond shaped toe that Christian Louboutin often uses.
