Splurge vs. Save: Valentino Rockstud Heels

I have been a fan of the coveted Valentino Rockstud style heels for years but would never pay almost $1,000 for a pair of heels.  DSW coming in with one of my favorite dupes!

Valentino Rockstud Slingback Heels $995 | Alright so the quality is there, leather and all.  I have heard from a few reviews that they are a not the most comfortable.

DSW Liraven Studded Pumps $39.99 | How close are these shoes?  I have been eyeing them for a while and finally just went ahead and purchased them and I have zero regrets!  They are gorgeous!  For heels they really aren't uncomfortable, I sized up 1/2 a size for a little more room.  The nude color is really flattering and the studs add just a little edge.  Now I just need somewhere to wear them...

I am a sucker for floral embroidery and this over sized sweater was $3!!

The Free People dupe in white as well, this was $3.

I am the cardigan queen and this hooded duster is perfect for fall, for $3 you can't beat it.

Love Rebecca Minkoff but don't want to spend the $100??  I found a pretty close dupe at Wal-Mart...yep Wal-Mart.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac: This is the classic Rebecca Minkoff bag, perfect for everyday and such an easy bag to throw on with every outfit.  At almost $200 it is a little bit of a splurge.

Vivian Crossbody: I spotted this dupe in store and couldn't believe how nice it was.  Granted it doesn't have the stud details on the strap or bottom of the bag but the other details are pretty close.  For less than $15 you really can't beat it!  They also have it in a few more colors.

New Spring Finds at Wal-Mart (fashion, home, etc.)

Spring is coming and Wal-Mart is popping out new stuff.  They just came out with a new line Time and Tru and guys it is awesome!!  I love taking a walk through Wal-Mart to see all the new products they have coming out and check out some clearance.  A lot of these are also available online, if I can find them I'll link them :)

Guys these jeans are so nice!  That released hem!!  These are all under $20 as well. 

Those star jeans!!!  I am obsessed with these!!  Stars are having a moment right now and these pants are perfect for spring.  They also have a little distressing and unfinished hem.

Pretty embroidery gets me every time.  These are a boyfriend fit and are so cute.  

It's high quality embroidery guys, so pretty! 

Wal-Mart always has cute hidden gem (haha) jewelry.  When I walked through this past time they weren't so hidden, I wanted all of it!  How nice is this druzy necklace for less than $3???

How cute is this backpack???  I love the rainbow gradient!

These tote bags are available every year but they are so classic.  Faux pebbled leather, so many colors and they are reversible so you get two colors in one.  They look and feel really nice and remind me of Madewell...but they are $10.  

This color is really pretty for spring.

This was probably one of my absolute favorite finds from Wal-Mart this trip...does this look like Kate Spade or what??  These dome tassel crossbody bags are my favorite!  Oh and they are less tan $15!!!

These tumblers started out wit just silver and then got a few more colors.  I am so excited that they now have super chic, gorgeous colors!!  How pretty are those colors???

Guys, how fun are these crossbody bags???  They would be so cute to wear to Disney ;)  They would also be really cute to throw on just for a fun detail.  I am loving that popcorn one.

Rebecca Mikoff lookalikes for less than $15!!  These crossbody bags are so pretty and they come in all kinds of different colors.  This holographic one is so fun!!

They also have metallic ones like this rose gold one.

This ring crossbody looks really trendy and is less than $15!

These mules are from last season but I wanted to share that they were on clearance.  I actually waited and mine just went down to $5 so I had to pick up a pair.  I feel like you can still wear these in the spring as they are open back.

Have you found any good items at Wal-Mart lately?  Let me know down below.

Splurge vs. Save: Dolce Vita Baz Mule

Leopard is a neutral and I am all about it!

Dolce Vita Baz Espadrille Mules: These leopard mules are so cute, their stitching details are so pretty and obviously nicer than the dupe.

DV Elaine Espadrille Mules: Honestly I think I might prefer the dupes to the real thing.  I like the spot pattern and shape on this version a little bit better.  These shoes have been all over instagram and I fell like they are going to be pretty big for spring and summer.  I have a pair on my list.

Splurge vs. Save: Chloe Marcie Satchel

Y'all know I am all about a good dupe, why pay more when you can get the same look for so much less??

Chloe Marcie: This bag is one of my favorite designer bags, my if only bag...I just could never (ever) spend almost $2K on a bag.  I love the shape and style of this bag and am constantly looking for bags that give the same look.

Destin Satchel: I finally found a dupe that comes pretty close.  Similar shape and details, the top handles are different but for the price I think I can live with the difference.  This one is from Sole Society comes in three colors and is $69.95  These sold out crazy fast last year so pick one up quick!!

Fashion Finds At Walmart?

Fashion Finds At Walmart by erin-rucker-richardson on Polyvore

Yes you read that right, these are all fashion finds from...Walmart!  I was so surprised to find these clothing items that look like J.Crew or other more expensive designs for Walmart prices.  Everything here is less than $25 but they are rollbacks or clearance so if you love it get it, they change and sell out quickly!

- Quilted Bubble Jacket with Faux Fur Trim $18 This J Crew inspired puffer jacket is perfect for winter.  Not too bulky but still warm.  It has a super soft faux fur collar that can be removed if its not your thing.  

- Ponte Black Leggings with Faux Leather Stripe $8 These pants are the perfect dupe for the ZARA/J Crew pixie pants at a fraction of the cost.  They are like leggings only much thicker, yet still super comfy and stretchy.  The leather on the side adds the perfect detail.  

- Navy Skater Dress $12 Such a cute dress that can be dressed up or down depending on your accessories.  I love the feel of the white and navy together, it looks so crisp and classy.  

- Military Style Faux Wool Coat $20 Such a beautiful coat!  I love the feminine flare and waist cinching belt and the combination of the tweed and those buttons sets it all off.  

- V-Neck Tunic Sweater with Zipper Detail $16 Oversized sweaters are my go-to in the winter and this one has a sassy edge with that zipper detail.  

- Black Scoop Neck Dress $14 The perfect LBD, classy scoop neck, figure flattering shape, cap sleeves and pockets!!!

- Quilted Vest with Faux Fur Collar $15 This one is just like the jacket I mentioned first just in a vest form.  It is a nice J Crew dupe and looks way more expensive than it is.  The fur is also removable on this as well.    

- Black Tube Skirt $5 A classic black pencil tube skirt for $5?  Seriously go buy it now! 

- Faux Wool Modern Zip Coat with Stand Up Collar $21 I love the modern yet classy feel of this jacket and the blue color is such a perfect pop.  It also has a zipper so you don't have to deal with buttons.  

- Cargo Jacket with Aztec Print Sleeves $18 Cargo jackets have been big this season and this one stands out from the crowd.  Seriously those sleeves are great!  So much character and fun.  The cinched waist helps define your figure and adds a little femininity.
