Last December Naomi Campbell made a splash with the Christian Louboutin boots she showed up wearing for court ordered community service in NYC & orders poured in for the boots ... the only teensy problem was that the boots were a prototype & NOT for mass-market. However the company quickly put the boots into production & the exquisite Avedere Boot was soon available in patent or seude for the staggering price of $1200:

Unfortunately these boots are sold out at every known retailer, & with Fall right around the corner & these boots spot-on trend, I've gone a bit loopey looking for a pair or something similar ... & finally hit the jackpot with the inspired "FRENZY" Patent Leather Lace Front Knee Boots for only $84.90 (that's a $1,115 savings!) from Fly Jane:

If you love the chic, laid back looks Keira Knightly, Nicole Richie & Kate Bosworth pulled together with mary-jane flats, but are put off by the triple-digit prices on the shoes next to them ... me too.  So I went out & found season-friendly looks for UNDER $20:

Twiggy Patent Flats for $18.80 at Forever 21:

And for a complete STEAL ... try the Flexible Mary Jane, available in silver, pink, black & white for $10 at Wet Seal:

If you work in the corporate, legal or banking fields, trends are generally a no-go when it comes to dressing for work ... but thanks to these Loafer Pumps for only $24.80 from Forever 21, you can save money & stay on trend this Fall:
