So are you feeling flush? Or are the pennies are a little bit tight this month? Either way, there's something here to suit your budget :)
With all the current love out there for footwear with lace ties, I couldn't help but notice the cute pair of gold leather sandals on New Look whilst I was having a browse. Well you can imagine how delighted I was when I spotted the somewhat pricier Aquazzura ones on Net a Porter a few days later! I think there is a bit of lookey likey going on here but I'm not complaining and I've ordered them to try. The New Look ones incase you were in any doubt #skint
And I couldn't help notice the black and gold strap ones too from New Look which I thought bore more than a passing resemblance to the Ancient Greek Clio sandals which come in every colour combination under the sun. So I looked them up and lo and behold, there was a pair there in the black and gold colour way.
It's a small world indeed.
New Look have done it again with the shoes Sue! After the success of the silver sliders last years and the black strappy Aquazurra's I bought more recently I have wasted no time and snapped up those New Look gold sandals before they are all gone! ;0) Brilliant splurge or save! xx
ReplyDeleteWell I saw them a little while back and I kept going back to them and eventually I just hit the button. I hope I like them. And I couldn't decide between the black or the gold for a long time - I should have just ordered them both and then picked out which I liked best on. I hope they're going to be good ... I did a shoe sort yesterday and there seems to be room for more footwear again!
DeleteWOW - ace save or splurges!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you can find stuff like this. Particularly the saving of oodles of pounds bit.
DeleteGosh New Look are good aren't they (or bad if you're the original designer lol) x
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean but hey - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - or that's what I'm telling myself!
DeleteExcellent save or splurge-post :) I looove the black/gold sandals!
ReplyDeleteThey are a seriously good dupe for the Ancient Greek sandals aren't they? Tempted?
DeleteNew Look have such good shoes! Saw those gold ones a while back (their images are always quite lo res though, which frustrates me!) - they're gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteTheir images are awful - you can't do a quick copy image and I have to faff around with screen shots till I get something I can use. I've not seen the shoes in real life so I hope I won't be disappointed when they arrive. I'm delighted that they are leather for that price too.
DeleteLove the black & gold New Look ones Sue.

They're very chic aren't they in that colour way? Go a treat with all your Bet!
DeleteI'm not complaining about the looky-likey sandals! New Look have done well!

I have to say, I'm not complaining either!
DeleteFab finds a Sue, off to have a close look :)
ReplyDeleteI hope I like these - I could do with a pair of flat gold coloured sandals for everyday wear.
DeleteMy absolute favourite kind of blog post. And I'm sure most working Mums would agree with me. More like this please Sue!
ReplyDeleteWell if I spot anything else on my online travels, I'll keep everyone posted! I think everyone appreciates being able to save a few pennies here or there where they can.
DeleteI read this post just before I went on my lunch break and fifteen minutes later I found myself in New Look - fifteen minutes later still and I was at the tills with the black version of those laced leather sandals (no restraint)... they're brilliant! Thank you for another great recommendation, Sue. You are - as always - the ultimate sartorial detective! :-) x
ReplyDeleteOh they had them in store! I haven't had chance to have a look so I just ordered mine. I wish I'd ordered both colours especially now that you've said you've got the black. And glad to be of assistance Fen - I like the idea of being the ultimate sartorial detective. Feel like I need to a bit of Fenlocking.
DeleteThe best thing about working for New Look was without doubt the 50% discount - can you imagine how many pairs of shoes I had?? Lord knows how I'd get on there now, they seem to up their game every season! Great picks, and well spotted. Perhaps you need to replace your trapper hat with a deerstalker? ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteWell I can imagine you probably had enough pairs to stock your own store so it's a good thing you're no longer there! I just did a shoe organise and cull. It just had to be done. But that just means I made room for more ;o)
DeleteInteresting. There isn't much between them, apart from the HUGE price difference. Keep us posted. Great Save/splurge. xx
ReplyDeleteWell if I splashed mega bucks on a pair of Aquazzura gold sandals, I'd have to wear them all summer, every day to warrant their keep. But as I know I can't do that, spending significantly less makes more sense to me. And my budget.
DeleteI always forget to look in the shoe department in my local store as its upstairs & I never remember its there! Doh! I'll be popping in soon thats for sure! Great style steals there! x
