“I am dying for a pair of Sam Edelman Strapped Booties (similar to the Balenciaga 06), they’re just gorgeous…Anyways, they were made exclusively for Victoria’s Secret, and they aren’t getting any more. I found a similar pair [at Ninewest] but I am wondering if you guys know of any other similar ones? Keep up the great work!”
Ya Becky, the Edelman knock-offs seem to be a hit in the blogosphere, damn those Olsen twins! Everything they wear turns to (sale) gold! Ok so first off, we’d recommend trying eBay for the actual Edelmans (when we last check there were a few up for sale). There aren’t that many strikingly similar versions online, since the Balenciagas were such statement pieces. What we did find were a few wedged platform bootie options. How about trying the France Leather Platform Wedge by Bebe? Or the Tapeet Lace Up Wedge Ankle Booties in patent or suede (our personal faves)? Hope we were helpful and happy shopping!
