Looking to add to my ever growing
summer sandal collection,
found myself recently drawn to THIS:
$395.00 @ Saks.com
Thankfully, J Crew thoughtfully sent an email alert
about a fabulous summer sale, where I spotted THAT, instead.
$69.99 @ JCrew.com
$325.00 less, and they're purple too!!!
{thanks J Crew!}
I love Louboutin, but that a bit much for an espadrille.
ReplyDeleteJcrew one all the way! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!!! - always go for the bargin! - i have black one's like them! :o) .. both are cute - but i would of done same thing JCrew - haha
ReplyDelete*kiss kiss*

Isn't that amazing? I think the J Crew pair looks cuter -- more flattering to the leg. They really do a great job. Must go shop sale!!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the J. Crew sandals better & the color is soooo me.... might have to snatch those. Love that the heel isn't too high because I am a bit of a klutz, been walking around in flats for too long. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Christ....but this time Jenna's team did a better job!!!! And the price tag is better too. Love J. Crew!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely think the j crew one is prettier. Must look for them on my next cross-border shopping expedition. Have to start filling that new shoe closet!
ReplyDeleteOops...that was supposed to say Christian! Typing too fast!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the J.Crew one a whole lot better! So cute :)
ReplyDeleteGreat find with the J.Crew! I do like that pair much better especially because it is in a fabulous purple hue.
ReplyDeleteCute shoes...I like the J Crew ones better!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the JCrew pair better! Finally, the cheaper shoe is more appealing to me!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

I like the J crew pair better too! The heel is a little nicer... For daytime, summer or winter, I wear flats. Flat as the earth flats.
ReplyDeleteIm loving these lanvin python flats I picked up for %40 off!
Well done! Agree on the J Crew choice. Much cuter and lighter for summery legs!
ReplyDeletex Charltota... and see, I can't even spell my name... or perhaps I should change it to that..!? A bit more exotic and mysterious.. Not at all Swedish.. :)
xx C h a r l o t t a... (phew!)
Like the J Crew better as well. That is too funny. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI like both but I would wear the jCrew shoe before the Louboutin - that red is way too bright. Though I might have to rip off that little bow ... so not me. Definitely cute, though!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the first comment - 400 bones is a bit much for a baby wedge...but I love the second pair!

I remember falling head over espadrilles at Hermes and then flying all the way to France to happily happen upon a pair that were the joie de vivre to my Summer.
ReplyDeleteI love espadrilles!

The smell of summer is here.
ReplyDeleteThe Louboutin sandals look nice, but I'm not sure if it's worth that much.
Good thing you found an alternative.
I like the J Crew one better! It's too cute. I like how it's a slip on as well!
ReplyDeletelove it when things work out that way!
ReplyDeleteGood find! Not really my style, but I like the pretty purple color!
ReplyDeleteI was checking out those Louboutins too, so glad to know there's an alternative that's just as pretty!
ReplyDeleteOnce again....less is more.
ReplyDeleteLove the Purple... of course.

Well, you absolutely needed those purple ones! I would never never pay $300+ for a pair of espadrilles.
ReplyDeletehahaha good thing they came through! it always kills me to spend $400 on a pair of flats. but i have been known to do it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the J Crew shoes- My MIL used to work for JCrew- practically my whole wardrobe is made up of JCrew- Lucky me- except she retired two years ago- Boo- even my monkeys had great clothes, Love Crew Cuts- but they grew out of them- Lucky for me I'm still the same size!
ReplyDeleteI actually think I like the jcrew ones better! go jcrew!
ReplyDeleteyay for J. Crew, that amount of money is WAY too much for espadrilles!
ReplyDeletewow, the jcrew version is WAY cuter. i posted about espadrilles-for-less just recently as well! my friend wanted a $700 prada pair, yikes!
ReplyDeleteI actually think the JCrew is cuter and the price is much better and doable even if I had the $$$S I would buy the JCrewfor sure, Happy Tuesday,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI adore the first ones! Just because pastels aren't really my thing!
ReplyDeleteCome check out my first giveaway!!!!
Luvs!
these are perfect, I was just at Nordies looking at shoes and could not find a pair that I wanted ...off to J crew now.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the very rare instances where I prefer the less expensive option!! Love the purple also!...Carol
ReplyDeleteYou totally took the thoughts right out of my head: PURPLE!! (and of course PRICE is crucial as well...hehe)
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say I prefer the J.Crew pair - the heel's slightly higher, there's a little more bow and where the fabric is place will be more attractive on the foot. What a find!!
that would be "where the fabric is placeD"
ReplyDeleteseriously. is it friday yet??
Yuppie to J.Crew! They really have the best stuff, dont they?
ReplyDeleteKisses darling
I am a huge fan of Louboutin. That said, I actually like the J Crew option better here!
ReplyDeleteyes! much better!
ReplyDeleteA better price always looks better, usually because there is a smile up top :)
ReplyDeleteLove the white watch, I'm with you there, sporting one myself (the cheaper one)! That's cool your "linkbacks" I've so much to learn about blogging!!
Those J Crew ones are so cute! I actually like them better. That color... LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the J Crew ones better!
ReplyDeleteGreat find.

It just shows that people pay hundreds more for the name brand. Both are fabulous!:)
ReplyDeleteHappy tuesday! Thanks for entering the giveaway!
love me some j.crew... that jenna can do no wrong in my book. great find — love this feature!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. I actually think I prefer the shape of the J Crew ones. xoxo
ReplyDeletei almost bought the jcrew the other day. love them! and i have to say, i can be a bit of a brand groupie... but those just aren't even as cute!!
ReplyDeletewww.aspiringkennedy.com
nice find for you!!! i love when that happens :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Jcrew find:) also saw something cute at target for $30.00
ReplyDeleteI could never spend that much on shoes, as i would ruin them in no time! They're pretty flipping cute though....and so are the JCrew sandals. Much more sensibly priced too ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm....don't think I'd be spending that sort of money on a pair of espadrilles, even if I had it spare... The colour is nice though, maybe that's the reason for the price? ;-) Have a lovely week, Love from London x
ReplyDeleteThe Crew pair is SUCH a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteMuch nicer anyway! I love a good bargain, you hit the jackpot!
ReplyDeleteXX
Victoria
I think I prefer the JCrew one, too! It looks a little less...orthopedic (and I can't believe I said that about a pair of CL's but there ya go..).
ReplyDeleteThese are darling! I love the red color of the Louboutins but the shape of the J.Crew ones is fabulous!

$395. and probably made with $3.95 worth of material. get real, folks! WHO WOULD PAY THAT?!?!? yeesh.
ReplyDeleteNice find! I love the J Crew ones. I want them too!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, and a great steal! While the Louboutin espadrilles are cute, if I were going to spend that much money I would get a pair of the black patent CL stilettos!
ReplyDeleteGood pick! I'd spend the money on great heels ;) xx
ReplyDeleteGood find, Sue! I love the grosgrain, actually, more!
ReplyDeleteLoving them both but you can't beat the price at J Crew! : )
ReplyDeletethank God for designer style for less... and great quality too!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing because pretty pink tulips is a fan of Christ, but Jenna's team did better. Can't make this stuff up, people!!
ReplyDeleteI went to Saks today... SOOOOOOO rare (my first time to the mall in OVER A YEAR!). Lots of fun, but I was in a rush because I had to go to my GUM SURGERY consult! Not so fun!!
AND they have a little heel! Great find.
ReplyDeleteThe J. Crew are even more adorable and of course the price is right!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd cuter too. The lomboutin is looking a tid bit geriatric to me.
ReplyDeleteThe J. Crew version gets my vote. Way prettier!
ReplyDeleteLoving both sandals!
