Look for Less: Christian Louboutin Spike Heels

Ever since Christian Louboutin collaborated with Rodate for their show in 2008, I've been keeping an eye out for heels with crazy studs.

The black pair on the left is Louboutin's Clou Noeud which retail for $1,195 - epp! If I could spend that kind of money, I would probably get them in nude.

The silver and clear spiked pair on the right is St. Jeannette 120 which are available on bluefly.com for slightly less at $780.

Enter, Sam Edelman's Lorissa heels...
They're not insanely cheap, but they are much more affordable at $200 a pair. These heels are hot and remind me of something Rihanna would wear.

Heels like these might seem a bit intimidating, but they really could go with just about anything. In fact, they could be a really nice way to add a little edge to a dressed down look with jeans or a strong feminine touch to a pair of dress pants.

If you're into these heels, you should act fast. They've already sold out at nordstorm.com and there's only a size left at solestruck.com and karmaloop.com. But hurray for Zappos! They have both black and white in all sizes with free shipping & returns. Happy shopping!
