Crave or Save
March 16th, 2010
As soon as the weather starts to turn balmy, I reach for breezy white dresses and colorful flats. It’s a surefire combination that works season after season and is as easy as it is cheerful. When I first spotted these Lanvin Pom Pom Espadrilles, I was smitten with the bright orange and pink colors, but not with the price. These Gap Crinkle Flower Sandals are a great alternative and in shades like “killer tomato” and “watermelon,” it’s hard not to want to swipe them all up.
You know what? I like the Gap ones!

I love Gap shoes! Those Lanvins are beautiful, though.
Flat shoes aren’t really my thing, but I like the look of the Gap sandals better: I think the smaller, more refined ruffle is more graceful. Then there’s the price tag – eeesh!
I seen these LAnvin flats some time ago they are way to expensive for flats. Thanks for suggesting GAP. Thats a good pick

ohhh good call!
I love finding fashion steals at the Gap, H&M, and F21! LOVE the sandals!
Gap ones are not so bad! however are they comfortable is a good question! i have bought a few shoes from there and not so comfortable. I do like these and the bright shades!!!!

lovee gap!
take care..from mexiico(:
ii like your blog and all your outfits(:
I definitely prefer the Lanvin. I think the pom pom gives them the perfect feminine oomph! That being said, I definitely could not justify spending $600 on a pair of flat sandals, especially since I live in a climate that is often classified as “boot weather.” Boo! Gotta save my pennies for heels!
I just found your blog I love it! the gap shoes are super hard though and I am afraid that they would be super uncomfortable!

I vote save. I would much rather spend the money on a great heel or summer wedge.
i prefer the lanvins, but $600? for a sandal? i dunno…. that could be better spent elsewhere….
love the blog btw

As much as I love Lanvin, the gap ones are really cute and much more reasonable
Wow! Those gap sandals are so cute! I should buy those babies before the stores stop selling sandals! Maybe I’ll go this weekend because they’re having a friends and family event with 30% off! I think it’s March 18-21, but I’m not sure! Thanks for being so badass!
you could also buy a pair of emersonmade’s flowers and clip them to the sandals for an ever more similar look….
paying that much for flip flops is just silly!

Neither… DIY… buy a cheap thong and add the Lanvin pom-pom/flower
While I absolutely love, love, love the crave ones, I’d settle for the save. In fact they might just be “saving” me some money very soon. So cute!
I would most definitely s a v e. Target has some c u t e flip-flops w/ pink flowers too that have I have been coveting for quite a while.
i quite like the gaps
i LOVE the gap ones! steve madden have something similar!
I like the GAP ones better, actually. I say SAVE!
I actually prefer the Gap sandals. It’s kind of shocking. =)
Adorable – I love the grayish / brown color too!

I love the bright orangy-red colour on both, screams summer. And although I love the Lanvin I’m voting save. I have a few pairs of Gap sandals myself, their great quality.
Love the Gap ones! You achieve the look without the splurge
I picked up the Gap ones in yellow!
I’d say save or DIY
SAVE
the two sandals are virtually the same!
SAVE. they are just SO similar &you would sure save!
I actually got the GAP ones in navy a couple weeks ago, and I love them! They are super comfortable and adorable!
the gap ones are really cute- I saw them shopping yesterday. the others are just too much for sandals!
I love this concept for a blog entry! (In particular I love the phrase “crave or save”) The pair from Gap is a really great alternative find, but I’d secretly (or not so secretly) be drooling over the Lanvin pair, haha. One day when I have money to spend…
