Valentino Rockstud | Look for Less

There’s one pair of heels that will always be on my wishlist, that’s the Valentino Rockstud Pumps! There’s two reasons for that… 1- these pumps are amazing and will always be in style and 2- they will stay on my wishlist because they are WAY out of my price range!

Valentino makes several variations of the Rockstud- kitten heels, T-strap, flats and many more! Each is amazing in it’s own way, but they run almost $1,000 each! Since I’m not going to be able to afford these anytime soon, I’ve been scouring the internet for a Rockstud look for less. Luckily I’ve found a few great alternatives!

The options below range from $18 to the REAL Valentino’s at $995. Can you spot the real Valentino Rockstuds? If not, each style (and price) is listed right below the collage. I’m personally partial to LuLu’s $34 version. Share your favorite in the comments below!

To continue the trend of affordability from yesterday’s Forever Blue post, today’s focus is Looks for Less! See below for inexpensive alternatives to some of the hottest accessories out there right now!


Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag ($495)- These handbags are hard to get your hands on! This particular style below is sold out until December! I not only LOVE this camello option below, but also the pink colorway here. You can also have fun and customize your Mansur Gavriel bag by mixing up the pop of color on the inside, how awesome is that?

Look for Less Mango Contrast Bucket Bag (On Sale for $44.99) This bucket bag is a great way to get the look of the Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag for one tenth of the cost! It has the same gathered drawstring and similar structured shape. It’s a great bag to take you from summer into fall!

Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals ($398)- These are offered in a variety of colors, I love both the black and red! They are both sexy and simple, pair them with a boyfriend jean and it’s perfection!

Look for Less– The below styles are steals! On the left is the Steve Madden Stacey Ankle-Strap Heel ($79). For an even deeper discount, I also included these Kohl’s Candie’s High Heels on the right (On Sale for only $27.97!).

Valentino Rockstud Tote ($2,145)- Valentino’s Rockstud shoes and bags have ALWAYS enticed me, but the price is a little out of my budget (for the whole year)! That’s why I was so excited when I found a great look for less of this tote below.

Look for Less Jaden Studded Tote Bag (On Sale for $55) This tote below gives the same rockstar, studded vibe of the Valentino option above, but in faux-leather. It’s a great way to save some money if you are looking for a new trendy bag for the season!
