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.

    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

    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….

    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

  • http://perfectsentiment.blogspot.com/ PS~Erin

    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!

  • http://www.allthatlace.wordpress.com Dee

    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 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 :)

  • cee

    I actually got the GAP ones in navy a couple weeks ago, and I love them! They are super comfortable and adorable!

  • http://mandalyzing.blogspot.com Amanda Lalique

    the gap ones are really cute- I saw them shopping yesterday. the others are just too much for sandals!

  • http://hellofresh-meetquirky.blogspot.com No Stranger to Different

    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…
