Double-Take: Charles Jourdan Holly

 Charles Jourdan Holly (DSW, Amazon, LastCall)
The Holly Sandal from Charles Jourdan is just plain sexy. I love everything about it: croc embossed leather, an ankle strap with metal detailing, and the supple red lining. Not to mention, the shape of the heel is perfectly stunning! These gorgeous sandals appeared this past spring when the whole ankle-strap trend was happening. However, the stunning and classic styling will definitely be a show-stopper for more than one season! Unfortunately, the black style is pretty much sold out, but there is a pale blue version available for under $100. Check out the links above if you’d like the original pair, or take a look at the double-take below:
Shoe Cult by Nasty Gal Primal
I was very excited when NastyGal announced they’re putting together their first ever footwear collection consisting of unique and edgy shoes for the daring wearer. Of course, as soon as the collection was out, I hopped over to their site to browse the styles. There are several that I’d love to add to my collection (especially these adorable sandals) but the Primal stood out particularly because it looks exactly the same as the Charles Jourdan Holly. On clearance, the Holly is your best bet because it’s made of leather. But if you’re against that, or can’t find your size in black, the Primal sandals are a great alternative!
