Buy/Borrow/Steal: The Lace Up Wedges Edition

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday August 1, 201130 comments

Confession: I am having a love affair with Jeffrey Campbell. His shoes, not him personally. His signature platform styles and chunky heels not only make your legs look a thousand times better, but make your outfit look a thousand times chicer. Jeffrey Campbell shoes are outrageous; you can find them in wild prints and bright colours (a personal favourite are the glittered platforms which are to die for). Unfortunately, (and here, is the truly sad part) I can’t afford them being a poor recent graduate and all. This makes me super sad so, in honour of my love for too expensive shoes, this week’s Buy/Borrow/Steal is inspired by the Jeffrey Campbell look.

Perhaps because we do more walking in the summer, we saw more low wedge sandals these past months. Being indoors though and taking the car more often prompts a surge in high heels (I call them "car-to-bar" shoes). Last spring we saw a ton of lace up wedges and I am sure we will see it everywhere come fall. Here are three picks for this week's Buy/Borrow/Steal. I'm sure you know what to do by now but for any newcomers, leave us a comment telling us which of these babies you want to buy, which you want to borrow and which you want to steal. Because we're tricky, two of these shoes are affordable and one is a pricier designer brand- we're not going to tell you which though!

 

You have until August 8th, 2011 to leave us a comment. We will then close the contest and choose one lucky, randomly drawn commenter to receive a prize. Feel free to check out last week's post for reference and good luck!

UPDATE! 
Here are the prices and brands for all three shoes- any surprises?

#1- ModCloth Urban Everywhere Wedge (US$87.99)
#2- Spring Orloff Lace Up Boots (C$69.99)
#3- MiuMiu Leather Oxford Wedges (C$625.00)

I would Buy 3, Borrow 1 and steal 2 ... bottom line is I'll keep all three :)
As for expensive? #2 looks sort of nine west -ish so I'd say that one is expensive?
