At long last, an alternative to Lanvin flats to love! A little over a month ago, I posted about a possible substitute for Lanvin flats. Having never seen a mid-market Lanvin flat knockoff, I was overly eager to share it with you, and thus posted about a flat that I had seen only in pictures on the internet. It turned out to be cheap looking in real life, and so I resolved to continue my search.
Pictured above are Saks Fifth Avenue brand flats, now available at Saks outlets for a mere $80. I am mystified as to how this substitute eluded savvy bloggers and tfsers while it was in Saks stores (perhaps it was not available at many locations?) and ended up at the outlet, but if the shoes are in some way less than desirable (uncomfortable, for example), it is absolutely impossible to tell from the pictures. (Note: at this point I have yet to see the flats in person; however, I plan on visiting a nearby Saks outlet soon to make an appraisal and will update this post upon having done so.) For those of you who do not have access to a Saks outlet, the flats are also available on eBay for approximately $150 from seller floridamuggle.
hmm im going to order a pair tomorrow

I just read about some similar flats from the Gap in this month's Bazaar magazine (with Jlo on the cover). I have not seen them in real life, and consider that they are from the Gap, but you never know.

Gap also has a nice substitute, in satin and leather (unfortunately no patent), and only $40.

Just got the Dillon flats by Linea Paolo at Nordstrom for $79.95. Not bad and much more comfortable than the Nine West ones.

i have a pair of the sax brand and they do look like lanvins, BUT they sure dont wear like the real thing.
i finally got a pair of the lanvins when they went on sale and i havent worn my pair from sax since...i just ordered a second pair of the lanvins (camel color) bc they got marked down again... i would encourage anyone who wants a pair of lanvins to call capitol in charlotte, nc and ask them if they have any of them marked down 70% (they're only $150 now!) left.... michele is a doll! i have them in my speed dial so that i can find out abt sale items first! xx~ good luck!

Replica jerseys are becoming rapidly popular as regular attire. And therefore, you will notice many teenagers donning a Bill Russell or Oscar Robertson jersey in pubs, colleges and discos. In fact,[url= http://www.jerseysleague.com]nfl jerseys[/url]even individuals who are not nba fans have started wearing cheap [url= http://www.jerseysleague.com]mlb jerseys[/url] sthese jerseys as a style statement.

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.

It’s interesting and fun to see things from the other side of the gender coin. It’s often not too terribly different.Thanks, friend.
